If she wants to continue using itunes she should then re-install itunes and import those new music files. She then does not have to worry about the auto-update and she can put the music on to the ipod and also listen to it on the computer.
It would also be advisable that she makes a copy of her music onto a CD so this problem doesn't happen again
no need to uninstall iTunes, if she does what Matty or Scone suggested then she will be fine
