IPods are portable devices, which are most commonly used to store music. Along with hard drive, iPods have memory cache to store and play the music files. Actually, iPod hard drive stores music from iTunes but, while playing the songs from iPods, memory cache copies those songs from the hard drive. IPod memory cache can hold up to 20 minutes of music at one time. When iPod memory cache becomes full, hard drive gets turned off and when songs get over in memory cache hard drive gets turned on to copy music files to memory cache. Memory cache uses solid-state memory, which means that it doesn’t have any moving part, so memory cache is less susceptible to physical failure.
ITunes uses two different types of iTunes library files, which stores information about iTunes library. ITunes library.itl and iTunes library.xml are two types of iTunes library files. If these iTunes library files get damaged then iTunes becomes non responsive, which may lead to data loss. Sometimes, restoring factory setting in iPods may also result in data loss. For instance, if you want to change iPod from Mac to Windows or vice-versa then you have to make some modifications in factory settings. Sometimes, if your iPod get corrupted or freezing then you need to restore the factory settings to avoid these problems. While restoring factory settings, it may delete all the files which are present on iTunes, which results in data loss. If music files present on iPod’s hard drive get lost then you can use iPod recovery software to recover those lost files
