I basically don't know whether to shit or go blind when it comes to computers. I can work with them a little like playing around with files on my hard drive, but i really don't get too technical.

I recently took my computer to get fixed and have viruses removed. basically they completely wiped most of my harddrive and i lost all my songs. I re downloaded my itunes, and all the music was still listed properly like i'd had it, bhowever when i go to play it, it says the song can not be found and a little exclimation point pops up beside the songs.

Now you'd probably said i'd be fucked and have to re download everything. However i do still have all the songs on my ipod. Now i'm curious if i can maybe transfer the songs to a portable hard drive, and then put them onto my computer, or, hopefully, just import the songs from my ipod to my computer. I downloaded the itunes a few days ago so it's the newest version, the one with all the album covers in the music section, so i'm still playing around with it to know how to work it.

All advice is appreciated.
