I don't understand why people think iPods are "not mp3 players". I didn't buy my iPod to be trendy or cool, or even to watch movies (even though I have FMA episodes on it) I got it for the mass music lovings.

Also, itunes has a setting that even if your computer has no songs it won't delete them from your iPod. I had accidently deleted a folder with almost 500 songs in it, and I procrastinated against plugging my iPod back in because I was afraid to loose them all, but after downloading songs I wanted to carry around with me, I plugged it in and realized that even though they arn't on my computer anymore, they're still on my iPod.

Oh but yeah, rambling. I'm pretty sure the transfer from iPod to computer will be easy, I've never done it, but I know you can do it, they're just going to all be in the iPod format.
