Q: will icloud store all music on my ipod

Will it also store the music on my iPod that was loaded from CD's or computer?

The reason I ask......my Dell computer recently had issues that a Dell technician determined had to be fixed by re-formatting my hard drive.

Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with iTunes process and was unable to save several hundred songs on my iTune program.

I still have the deleted tunes on my iPod but if I were to sync it to my iTunes account, I;m told by iTunes tech that the iTunes account would load only what was purchased from iTunes and the hundreds of other tunes would be deleted. She said the sync only works one-way, from account to iPod and not iPod to account. So you can see the dilemma I'm in.

I was wondering if I might somehow load the iCloud from my iPod and then maybe the iTunes account would then accept all the tunes from iCloud.

Hopefully you'll excuse my ignorance on these issues....because I truly am ignorant and although I'm probably old enough to be the grandpa of anybody responding to my plea......I can still be taught new tricks if you're patient.

And to further prove my ignorance, I recently purchased an iPod Air thinking that maybe I could load it directly from the iPod Nano with all my music and then load it onto iTunes. Well what can I say....the salesman at the store also thought it sounded like a good idea. Next time I buy a techie device, I'll be darn sure I have an adult with me. 

What do you think.....any possibilities.....or am I simply up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle?

iPod nano, Laptop is Win 7, desktop is Win XP
