Brain-frying question about a troublesome iPod issue.....

Here's the long and short of it:

A. iPod Nano.
B. After an update some softward versions ago, iTunes suddenly shat my music library away on a permanent basis, so I had songs on my iPod, but nothing on the computer in iTunes.
C. I was afraid of ANY change of a computer to iPod overwrite, but I solved this w/some freeware a few days ago called Sharepod. I got the 185 songs off the iPod and back into the music library in iTunes. So far so good. Made sure that it was switched over to manual mode and not auto sync.
D. So this morning, I threw some things away from the music library that I never listen to, to save space, and decided to auto sync the ipod to iTunes so now everythnig would be the same.
E. after all was said and done, it informed me that 100 songs could not be synced because of the wrong format to the iPod.
F. So now I've got 100 precious songs that I can't get from my iTunes to the pod, and they've been erased from the pod during the auto sync.

Q: how do I get them onto the pod? Reformatting them? If so, how?

Thanks,
