If the tracks only existed on your iPod, and you synced it with a new library generating an erase and sync warning, and went ahead, then they have been removed from the device and are not recoverable. Sync is one way, library to device, with an exception for iTunes purchases that may sync in either direction. Had you asked questions earlier I might have pointed you in the direction of Recover media from an iPod - Apple Community but it sounds like it is too late for that to help now.

Thank you for your reply.

The songs were stripped without any warning. It happened the moment I opened iTunes while my iPod was already connected. I reached out to a rep from iTunes support, shared my PC and he found the driver was still running from the last sync. Regardless, why strip the songs?

I restarted the PC and the iPod (third time was the charm) and was then able to sync without issue. A lesson learned the hard way ;)
