ipod to new laptop

[Feek]

'senuti' will allow you to get stuff off the iPod.

Don't blame Apple for this policy, from what I understand, it's the record labels that object to the multiple downloading.

This will sound harsh, but it's the buyers responsibility to keep backups of stuff they've bought. I have plenty of physical CDs, if I lost them I'd not expect the shop to replace them FOC so why should downloaded music be any different?

As an aside, if you lose stuff that you've bought due to not having a backup, Apple will generally allow you to re-download if you email and explain the circumstances. They'll only do this once though.
