Your iPods music is gone. The chances of you recovering it - even with hd recovery software - is nil. Has happened to me before. Enjoy life.

Wait, I thought you couldn't transfer songs from ipods to PCs without 3rd party software.

I'm pretty sure it wiped out your songs because you synced it with an Itunes library on your new computer that presumably had nothing in it, therefore it made your iPod the same by wiping everything clear.

Had it all on a CD but lost it in my move. Just wanted to know if anyone knew anyway of recovery but looks like a lost cause. Better start bit torrent again.

Anyone who thinks you cant just move music from your ipod to your computer is an idiot. What APPLE™ does - and this is inGENIUS, is simply randomize all of your music into crazy ass folders which have nothing to do with each other and, I assume, runs a lil bit o software to call these albums together. But the music is all there. In glorius MP3. Its all in ipod_control hidden folder. But as it renames EVERY FUCKING FILE and tosses it in random fucking folders, sorting it all out may well take longer than just redownloading everything.
