You can download iPod.util from the internet and it will take the songs off of your iPod and put them back into iTunes.  You'll lose your folders/playlists, but you'll have all your songs.

iTunes does that. For protected files, you just have to burn them to a CD.\n(Use a CD-RW or a disc image).

Please see the apple help documents below, it is easier than what I did which was copy the library folders onto a usb drive and then copy them over to my new computer

Check this out ... Extract from\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159372&start=0&tstart=0\nOption 1:\nAssuming you're moving files legally between your own computers, check out iPodAgent at http://www.ipodsoft.com/\n________________________________\nOption 2:\nThe manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.\n\n- Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET\n- open iTunes\n- open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running\n- connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing\n- open 'My Computer'\n- Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'\n- open iPod icon in My Computer\n- open iPod_Control folder\n- you should see a folder named Music\n- drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive\n- after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'\n- clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'\n- Close that explorer window\n- eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.\n- disconnect the iPod from the computer\n\n- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window\n- File menu &#92; Add folder to Library &#92; find that Music folder copied over from the iPod\n\nYour iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!\n\nLong time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:\n\n] This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.\n\n] Download this program:\nhttp://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip \n(If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)\n\n] Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.\n\n] Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.\n\n] Notes:\n- The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.\n- The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.\n- It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.\n- Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's *possible* for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOriginal thread for Otto42's playlist recovery: http:

do you have a mac? and if no or yes do you have an mp3 player or external hard drive? if you have a pc connect your Ipod or whatever you have , make sure all the song from your library are on there, then take it and connect it to the other computer. then go to search and search your hard drive for all music, you might have to check in iTunes & switch it to be used as hard disk, then also go into my computer and check if the files are invisible as well. then just pull them out of the search box and let them download.

search your computer for the file and then play it in itunes // and it's usually added to your itunes so the next time you update it everything will be all set.
