Yes, so did I. And even then Apple wasn’t a big help. Snark isn’t your strong suit, sir.
Wasn’t exactly snarking. Seriously, if you had a proper backup, it wouldn’t have even been a problem. Had hard drives blow up on Macs and PCs and with proper backup the only thing lost was a little time having the iPod resync. Everything went back to where it was quite quickly with no loss of data.
If you are having to ‘recover’ files from your Zune because you didn’t have backups, you screwed up *bad* and recovering your music is the least of your problems.
