Are you sure you lost the iTunes music files themselves? Maybe it's just the database that didn't get carried over, in which case it can easily be regenerated.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yes, there are no MP3s at all anywhere on my computer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And just to cover the "stupid question" area, you're sure they were in mp3 format, and not m4a?

Oh yeah, I checked both. Not a stupid question, Kristen pointed it out to me when i was first in shock.

Argh. I lost all my music in a crash not too long ago, Allyson. It included a large amount of music that had been bought straight from the iTunes store that wasn't backed up and was thus irreplaceable.
I hope you can get your music back somehow.

A dear friend sent a generous gift certificate in sympathy, so I have that, I have a few songs on my iPod that I never use that can go back on the computer, and then I'll just replace the things I miss the most.
It's ridiculous to get all emotional in tech, but gah, I just felt SO INCOMPETENT that i couldn't do this otherwise simple task correctly.
Blargh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude. Happens.
Start using your iPod--it's a simple backup. I keep meaning to burn all my bought stuff to CD so it's backed up somewhere in an iTunes independent format.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My iPod can't contain all my music, so I finally went and bought a 100 Gig portable Firewire drive and set up my Mini to do a daily backup to it.

Yeah, i plan to store all my music and large graphic files on the La Cie.
I have no reason to use my iPod. I don't have a tape deck in the car, and I won't walk around with one attached to my head.

It's an external hard drive. I don't know its capacity nor the capacity of your La Cie, but you can use it for backup just like your La Cie, or use it just for your music through iTunes.
