Actually, if the contents are .MP3 files, they can be dealt with just
like any digital files (except for getting them from iPod to computer,
which probably has available solutions...?!). I would recommend renaming
whatever folder the iPod (or related application) stores the files in
before adding any more...that eliminates any possibility existing files
will or can be overwritten.

And the security is probably because the great majority of "iPodites"
are much younger...and much less honest...than yourself...?!
