I don't think so. If you have the itunes software set on any sort of automatic update, it will erase your stuff if isn't on itunes or in one of your specified playlists. The only way around this is to set it to manual update. A similar thing happened to me, but only because I switched from manual to automatic updates.

I know that on regular magneto-optical drives, a sufficiently motivated person can find just about anything that has been "erased", but I'm guessing ipods have some sort of flash memory, and I'm not sure about retention on those. I doubt they retain info after being deleted.
