Yes, I was just going to say PodUtil too - we had the same issue and it's been very useful on more than one occasion.

I would also say that, if it's the first time you ask, Apple does sometimes reinstate your iTunes store account for a one time download. I sent them a very very nice letter and they very kindly reinstated my iTunes account within the day. It's always worth asking.

I then bought a MyBook external drive and so everything gets backed up to that. External drives are so cheap, it's reallly worth getting one now. (I use Cobian backup software which is free.)
