My ipod is full but there is no music or photos on it!!!

OK heres what happened.

Yesterday I plugged a friends ipod nano (2gb) into my computer which i had been using with my ipod nano (2gb)with. But it said i had to update it and what ever because my friend doesn't take care of his ipod. So i put some songs on his ipod and whatever but then when i went to put my ipod back in the computer it said i had to update, so i did. But after updating all my songs must have been deleted. So i looked at the stats of my ipod BUT it says that 1.67gb of space is taken up by "OTHER" and the rest is free space.

To sum up heres the problem: My ipod is full but it says theres no songs on it and when i go to use my ipod theres no songs or photos BUT IT SAYS ITS FULL AND HAS NO MORE ROOM FOR NEW SONGS.
Whats going on?
Wheres my songs?
What is "other"?
Do i have to restore and start over?

P.S. I've already done four of the 5 r's

ipod nano 2gb, Windows XP Pro, help

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes, podcasts or any files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or whatever.

There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but 1.67GBs is unusually large or whatever.

If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer and delete anything you don't want.

Otherwise, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.

Then reload the music from iTunes and whatever.
