Accidently restored iPod, how can I undo?

Hey guys, I recently had a problem with my iPod, so I decided to restore it. When restored, I didn't expect it to delete all my songs out of my iPod, and now I have no way of getting back all my songs. Help guys, is there a way to undo the restoration? Thanks, MUCH appreciated. (P.S: I even tried "syncing" it as my friends keep recommending, but unfortunately nothing happens and no music comes back).

Hello Hopxy,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

There is now way to reverse the restore option on your iPod. If the music is still in your iTunes library, you can simply hook the iPod back up and sync it over.

If it's no longer in your iTunes library, you will likely need to re-rip this music into iTunes. As for iTunes store purchases, you should contact iTunes support because there is always a chance they might let you re-download your content.

For future reference, you should always maintain a backup of your iTunes library no matter what.

Aw dang it, I gotta re-download all 1,300 of my songs? Oh well, my fault for not knowing what restore would do; thanks!
