How to Recover Deleted Songs on My iPod
Once you delete a song on your iPod, the song may be completely removed from your iPod's hard drive, but it can still be recovered if the song is located on your computer's hard drive. The best way to always avoid having to recover any lost or deleted songs is to have all of your songs backed up on an external hard drive. If you don't have the song backed up you can download a free trial or purchase software that will locate the song which was deleted from the iPod. Such software includes PD+Rescue and Recover My Files.
