Itunes (the devil)

[bdmcgraw]

Hi, I have an ipod and am trying to copy LEGAL music from my computer to my ipod. However, I have reformatted my computer since buying my ipod. Prior to reformatting my computer, I could easily tranfer music to my ipod. I no longer have most of the music on my computer that is on my ipod.

I have reinstalled Itunes and it doesn't want to let me transfer music. I have read a lot about this problem but I'm hoping there is some clear cut answer. I am even open to the idea of transferring all the music from my ipod back onto my computer then "reformatting" my ipod but I cannot figure out how to do that either.
