smashed iPod, can I get the music out?
I had a second generation iPod touch. My boyfriend and i got into a very heated argument and he happened to throw it against the fireproof door of our apartment. needless to say, it smashed the screen completely, which now can flip nearly all the way open to reveal the insides. It's bent up and it looks like it got ran over by a semi truck. Obviously it doesn't work anymore, and he got me a new one. however there were a few songs and one complete album that i downloaded on the old device that i never uploaded to my computer, so now i no longer have them and i really don't want to buy them again.
i tried to plug the iPod in to see if maybe i could luck out and upload the songs still... but no luck.
like i said the entire front is completely smashed, the metal on the back is bent, and the home button is missing.
if i could have a way to get the chip out that holds the music and somehow get it onto my computer, or if i could get it just to work long enough to get the songs uploaded i would be fine. i don't neccesarily even need the screen to work. i just want to get my music back!
any ideas would be really appreciated!
Is this a good question?

Unfortunately, as QEII Student IT said, there isn't a practical and cost-effective solution other than re-purchasing your songs.
At the risk of speaking out of line, if you get your songs back, what prevents this from happening again? It sounds like the real thing that needs fixing is your bf's anger issues...

Actually, there have been cases in which people have emailed apple and their purchases get added as downloads to their account

As rab implied I have had luck with Apple granting me re-downloads of ALL my purchases when my HP crashed a few months. Give it a try, just explain the situation and they'll work with you.
