As far as i can recall any iTunes actually purchased from the Itunes store will always remain in your store account so you shouldn't lose then. As far as other tracks from CDs etc I think you can access them from your pc when you plug the iPod in it shows the Ipod in the left hand menu, but you will have to make sure that the sync settings are in manual otherwise it'll delete them off your iPod when you plug it in. I can't guarantee that will work but I'm 90% certain. Word of advice always back up your downloaded music onto a re-writeable DVD. (Use a DVD as you get a lot more storage capacity that on a CD Rom). It takes a while but it's worth it in the long run. I've got about 2000 tracks on my PC that would take ages to re-load. Good luck
