iOS 8.4 and the vanishing music library "I went back to the iPod and my music was gone"

I like my iPod touch. I liked it enough to buy an iPhone once and I may again but in the meanwhile I have a reasonably new 32GB iPod touch with a fair amount of music on it.

Perhaps foolishly I upgraded to iOS 8.4.

The music icon had changed appearance. When I selected it, to misquote The Pretenders, my music was gone. All was left was the handful of iTunes purchases.

The 700 other songs, either downloads from amazon or CD rips and their associated covers were all gone.

Google was my friend, a re-sync with my macbook with the music library on it did the job of restoring my music again fine.

Fortunately even the iTunes 11.4 I have on my ageing MacBook was good enough.  I had a nasty feeling I might need a newer version.
