Copy Music from iPod to iTunes
Imagine that you have a HUGE media library and all of it is kept on your trusty PC or Mac. Now imagine that one day, your computer's hard drive crashes, and that your music library is now gone. All of the music imported off of CD's which you might have lost by now, all of the music downloaded off of free-music web sites, and most importantly, all that money spent on the iTunes Store has just vanished!You then remember that all your music is still on your iPod, safe and intact. You plug it in, you mount it to the OS, and then you realize that iTunes only allows the downloading of music from iTunes to iPod, not iPod to iTunes. (This is to prevent the stealing of music, says Apple). Do you really want to spend hours re-importing music, and repurchasing music from the iTMS? We didn't think so.
Tutorial: Here's a detailed tutorial on how to copy music off your iPod and back onto your computer.

Thank you SO much for the steps on how to get music off of my iPod into the iTunes Library. The steps were so simple and easy!! Now all my music from my iPod is back to the library after the computer had crashed.
Thank you again!!!
Thank you again!!!
OK someone needs to help me. I chose to backup my ipod without a helper application which worked great. all my songs got to itunes, while it was plugged in. then, since it was a "new" itunes, i had to sync my ipod to a new library, deleting all the songs off my ipod and replacing them with what was on my computer. i thought it would be fine because they were on my computer but no. as soon as the songs were off my ipod, itunes couldnt read any of the ones that were in my library. so now i have a blank ipod with 1000 songs on my library that wont play. this is so fucked. someone needs to tell me how to fix it. please!!!!
This post is really old.. The best solution is to use TuneAid. This is an ipod content recovery tool, it works on PC and Mac and can retrieve all library data.
I have just had to reinstall windows vista on my laptop after hard disk problems and didnt copy my music to a disk. I became increasingly annoyed when I downloaded programs that were asking me to pay and thanks to my friend Gary who showed me this page, I have managed to use the "Without a helper Application" and copy the music straight from my ipod.
I can't express how appreciative I am of your help.
THANK YOU!

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.

Are
you trying to eject your iPod from your computer but the "Do
Not Disconnect" won't go away? Don't worry, this is a common
problem with a fairly easy solution.
