[iMore Question]

My problem is 2-fold. Problem 1: My iPod Touch song library is somehow -larger- than my laptop's song library ( roughly, 623 songs). (How did *that* happen?) And I'm worried that if I sync up my device with my laptop, I will lose my 1,638 songs and 38 playlists I already have on my device.

So naturally, I decided to backup my device's files before I tried syncing it. Which I did. Which leads to Problem 2: Where are those files located on my laptop now? How do I access them so I can make sure my stuff is all there? I already went into Preferences/Devices to check to see if it worked. It shows it did. But where did they go? Can anyone help me?

The actual music files are not included in backups - they sync to iTunes and are in their folder within your iTunes library.
