• Malware Attack: Viruses and malware are the most widespread cause of file corruption which can take place on your iPod leading to loss of songs from your iPod.
• Improper Ejection: If you disconnect your iPod directly from you system without using “Exit” option or if you just pull it out abruptly while transferring songs  from your device to the system, then this may corrupt the device and you may lose your songs.
• IPod auto synchronization: If synchronization of iPod with iTunes fails, you may face data loss situation. It might happen because of software malfunctions, hardware changes or new user account.
