Meh. I do listen to a lot of Elvis Costello and Pulp. I wouldn’t consider the rest to be overly representative, although #3-6 come from various compilations, which make up a decently-sized segment of my CD purchases.
Lisa-go-Blind, shareware is available on the Internet that will enable you to transfer the music on your iPod back to iTunes on your computer. No need to do all that CD conversion work, which could take hours. Available in Windows and Mac flavors.
Thanks for the tip, Walloon. I didn’t know about that. It should make things much easier and quicker.
I backed up my iTunes library (over 2800 songs, too) on three dvd’s. Just sayin’.
