Ok... Brian got me an 80 gig iPod for Christmas, and it's the bomb-dizzle.
Well, I installed iTunes on my PC at work, and spent like last 4 days importing ALL of my CDs into iTunes, and onto my iPod. Ok, cool.
I also have about 3,000 songs on my home PC, that I've downloaded. The problem is this, when I try to synch my iPod with my home PC it wants me to delete all the files already on it (all the songs from my CDs) because it was synched from a different computer.
How can I get around this? Isn't there some backwards way I can get around the block and sync my iPod on multiple computers? Help please!

I haven't found a way to do it myself. The only thing you can do is link the libraries wirelessly or download all the music into both computers.

Isn't there some backwards way I can get around the block and sync my iPod on multiple computers? Cograts on the new Ipod. Word of advice; spend the extra bucks on a quality pair of headphones. To your question, the answer is 'no'. But I don't understand why you need Itunes on 2 computers. What you need to do is this: Download a free piece of software called "copytrans" to your home PC. Then sync your ipod with you work PC. Take all the songs from your work PC and download them into "copytrans" on your home PC. From copytrans you can download them directly into your home computer's Itunes and then you'll have all your music in one place. Any other questions?

Ohh that sucks. same thing sort of happened to me. If you lost anything download "music recovery"...it will recover broken links.
I have to manually sinc my iPod now.

I have the same ipod and due to the time invested/involved in downloading the music and losing it once... I purchased an external hard drive just for music... It is portable so I can plug it and go and I never have to worry about redoing all of my music if something goes wrong again because it is all there.
Small investment for big payoff in the end...
Now you can get all of those fun IPOD accessories and yes, invest in a great pair of headphones and go for the gold in your sound system.
I use mine all the time and actually have the 80 gb IPOD and a nano just for running...
Enjoy it!
