yes you can.  i use anapod explorer to do this instead of itunes.  it is so much easier using the drag & drop method.

change your view in explore to display hidden files and folders, then:\n\nTo get to your music files, navigate to iPod_Control&#92;Music. There you will find a series of folders starting with a letter and ending with a number. Congratulations! You are now looking at your iPod database, where all your music files are kept. As with any other file, you can now copy your music to anywhere on your computer

It is completely impossible for you to connect an iPod to a computer that it wasn't connected to originally without completely formatting its hard drive. Sorry.

You cannot do it through Itunes or windows.  You need a third party program.  The one I used was ePhPod.\n\nYou install it on the computer you want to put the music onto and you plug your iPod into that pc.  Do not sync the music.  Open EphPod and then select the drive that your iPod is identified as and it will give you the contents of your iPod.\n\nYou can then transfer whatever songs you want.  I have had no problems with it.\n\nEdit:  EphPod is free.

Plug your pod in, get ITunes, and it will automatically detect it.  The rest is easy.  Purchase music, or drag music that you already have into ITunes, and then simply drag the songs onto your IPod.  When it tells you OK to disconnect, unplug, and listen!!

Maybe you don't know how to get the song after downloading it, right?\nAfter downloading it, you can get this song by clicking Explore button below, it'll link you to place where your song is.\nThen you move this song to your ipod disk by USB port.

when your ipod is connected, open the folder of your ipod in "my computer". then, on top, click tools > folder options > View > Hidden files and folders > show hidden file and folders. you will see a new folder named iPod_Control. open it and your music is in the Music folder. be careful not to modify the other folders. take note that your music in the Music folder is not organized and is scattered over a number of folders.  You should be able to drag and drop from there.

Here are two links that will help\n\nhttp://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/ontherun/archives/how-to-copy-music-from-your-ipod-to-your-itunes-library-5615\n\nhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173\n\nApple doesn't like you to share music with others, so they make it a pain in your a-- to transfer the muscic.

You open up a 1/2 screen window where the video files are, and a 1/2 screen size window with Itunes file. You drag and drop them into the files stored, then up load them to the ipod.\n\nGood Luck.

Definitely not.\n\nAll you need to do is alter a few settings.\n\nOpen iTunes while your iPod is connected and then go to iPod options\n\nEnable the option " Allow to be used as a disc drive"\n\nEnjoy!

you can borrow a computer with itunes, for example use a friend's computer, but then your ipod is matched only to that computer, plus you have to upload all your cd's to that computer....so the simple answer is, unfortunately, no.

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:

you can download either limewire or morpheus. they are programs where you can download audio and video and documents... FOR FREE. once they are saved on your computer, you can copy them to your ipod. the downloads are quick depending on size. music is about 3-5 MB SO ITS TAKES ABOUT 2 MINUTES.
