A couple years ago, before I joined the rest of the world and got an iPod, I got a few burned CD's from my friend. When I got an iPod, I just loaded those CD's onto my itunes. Several years passed, and since I could just download data and update my iPod from my iPod Touch, I never synched the thing into my iTunes. A little while ago, I needed some of the music I bought on my iPod on my computer, so I updated iTunes and synched my iPod into the computer. The problem was that iTunes didn't recognize any of the music from the burnt CD's, and only synched music that had been bought my iTunes. So now I don't have any of those songs on my computer. I checked my trash bin and the iTunes media folder and the songs were not there. I also never uploaded any of them to the iCloud, so no luck there. Does anybody know how I can recover those files?
