iPod and iTunes

[jellytot01]

I have an iPod and had nearly 1000 songs on my computer my my computer crashed and i lost them all.

Is there anyway of transferring the songs on my iPod onto my computer without iTunes updating my iPod and deleting all the songs on there?

i think theres somethin you can download, called ipod agent, which you can use to transfer all the songs on your ipod to itunes.. thats all i know about it tho sorry, you can try googling it!

If you enter iTunes and chose one the option bars at the top of the page (not sure which one it is sorry as comp not on me - it might be tools?) there is an option to change your ipod settings. Click on the "manually update" button. This will prevent iTunes from erasing your songs and you can also change them to mp3 format and save them all on one disc as backup.

Im guessing that the iPod has to be connected to do this? but whenever i connect it, it begins to update so im confused!

You need third party software to help you copy music from iPod back to comptuer, because iTunes couldn't help you do that. I have been using this iPod transfer to copy my iPod files back to computer for a long time, it works really nice for me. Here is a step by step guide about how to copy songs from iPod to PC
