You can re-import iTunes library xml file. Just follow below steps.
1. First, you need to run iTunes on your computer and then click on "Edit> Preferences> Advanced" tab successively. Thus, you will see the option of "iTunes Media folder location". Copy the directory under this option and then navigate to Windows Explorer to paste it in the address bar.
2. Hit on the "Enter" key on your keyboard and the iTunes media folder will be shown in the interface and then you need to locate the Music library.xml file and drag it to your desktop for later use.
3. After that, you need to click on "File> Library > Import Playlists..." successively to navigate to the xml file that you have saved on desktop to add it to iTunes library. Thus, iTunes lost playlists will be back quickly for you to enjoy listening.
You can choose to use this way to help you to restore iTunes lost playlist when you have an old iTunes music library XML file stored in your local computer folder.

Are all your music files gone from your computer too? Or are they just not being "found"?
If all your files are still on your computer (look in My Music - or do a computer search for .mp3 file extentions) then you might have to manually reload them into your iTunes. (ie: double click each song or click and drag to itunes.)
If all your files are gone from the computer too - (did you have to completely reload your O/S?) - then you might be out of luck.
In the future, try burning your mp3 files everyso often onto a DATA disk (in DATA format because it will hold more). You won't be able to play it as an audio, but you will have them to reload onto your computer following a crash. I learned this the hard way - I lost 4G worth of music after a computer crash that resulted in an entire system reload. It was EXTREMELY traumatic!!!
Hope this helps.
Well the only thing i sugest you do is format it and let itunes reset your ipod back to factory settings
