This does seem strange. Is there any chance that you and your friend both your ipods the same name? That would probably do it.

Come ON... No matter what the case, sorry to hear about your disaster...that IS a drag, and I'd be equally as frustrated! |

That's why I don't use iTunes. Use Winamp with the iPod ML plugin, it works alot better. |

If you did the ratings on your iPod...can't help you there because you cant get files off your iPod into iTunes. In other words, you can get songs into iPod with iTunes but you can't get songs from your iPod to your iTunes, tricky aint it? |
