The reason I'm asking... let's assume this situation that your computer HD crashes, gets stolen, or similar that you lose your iTunes database. Then you might have thought that the iPod is nice backup device, but if you can not restore your files from there to PC... wouldn't that suck?

I'm almost positive there must be a way to sync the iTunes database based on the contents of the iPod... No?
I think you can restore your collection to the pc. But the point here is that you cannot get add a bunch of songs from your friends pc into your ipod collection. You either have your collection or his!!
I mean the moment you connect an ipod to the pc.... it says do you want to sync the ipod with the computer and if you agree to do so you will lose your collection on the ipod and get your friends only.

P.s I have only tried to add songs to my friends ipod only once and the moment i got the above message i really got pissed. So never tried. but i am sure there maybe a third party option?
