iPod Music Doesn't Show Up

My iPod was pluged in to my computer when the computer crashed and locked up. So I reset the ipod and while it was reseting unpluged it. Now none of my songs/videos or playlists show up. Im pretty sure they are still there because it says i have used 20 of the 30gb available. My contacts and pictures are still there. When I plug it in, it does show up in itunes but no music/vids apear (still says 20gb used tho...)

Is there anyway I can get the songs to reapear with out having to restore the ipod and re add all that music as I've only just got it and that would be such a pain!

Has the itunesdb file just become corrupt or something?

cheers

ok... the same thing happened again

I had it plugged in, computer crashed, I reset the ipod... songs appear to have gone.... How *should* I unplug my ipod if my computer crashes... with my old 3G one reseting it was fine.

cheers
