hard drive is failing on the iPod. can I extract my songs?

History

My hard drive is beginning to go on my iPod and has now failed to register into itunes or as a driver. I took it to the Apple store and they recommended I check this site as they can do nothing about it. This problem first occurred after my laptop over heated and the iPod reverted back to factory settings. Everytime I tried restoring the iPod the iPod would reboot when ejected. is there any way to retrieve the songs, of which i had close to 15000. I don't care if the iPod works again I just want to get the music I've been compiling for 10 years back. Please, help.

The iPod isn't recognized by iTunes or my PC (windows). It began as being recognized as a removable disk and then stopped altogether. This iPod still boots though without any error messages.

Anthony,

I've tried a number of data recovery programs as well (Stellar, etc.) and the iPod doesn't register with their software either, as if the iPod is not even connected.

Anthony,

VirtualLab data recovery is good too if nothing else works.

There's a program called CopyTrans which allows you to copy all the data from your iPod to another location. The free version allows you to only copy a few tunes at a time. The paid version allows you to extract everything at once.

no need for programs simply open in a linux distro and then you can simply drag and drop onn yourdeskeop from almost any musi reproductio software suchas as rythmbox or amarok... there are live cd distros so then you can copy and paste on you windows or mac hard drive... only sonside ithat it copies the named with a funky code such as "FHED" or "ERND"... you get the idea...
