I love my ipod but...

apples obession with combating piracy leaves it difficult if not impossible to back up your songs if you have put your settings to 'manually manage your songs'. You would select this if you only wanted to store your songs on your ipod but not on your laptop. Problem is once youve done this it seems they are trapped there forever and can't be returned to your laptop. (for backing up, sharing etc..)  Does anyone know what i'm ranting about? Anyone know any way round this?
