I got a new phone and when I connect to computer it went straight to “back up” and not thinking it was backing up phone to computer and not computer to phone I backed it up. I lost 90% of my iTunes library that was downloaded from CD’s and not bought on-line. Verizon kept my phone as a trade in so I can’t get it of the old phone even. Is there anyway I can possible recover my library w/o having to pull out all the CD’s again?

We definitely want you to have access to your music, and it’s our pleasure to assist you. To get a better understand of the issue, we have a few questions that we’d like to ask:

• Do you have a backup of your iTunes library? If so, review this article: Back up and restore your iTunes library on your PC
Take care!
I might have an old iPod with some of the music on it. I have a feeling I will have to pull out most/all my CD’s and re-download music and make sure I have it saved in another place this time as a back-up.
