Anybody know how to...

[thereisnodanaonlyz]

Take what's already on your ipod... and put it onto a new computer?  As if to say... I want to take the songs that I've loaded onto my ipod from my previous computer (which has since shit the bed)... and put them into itunes on my new computer.

I've heard it can't be done without some sort of hacking software... i've heard that's sort of the whole point... to kind of prevent piracy and spreading of files, etc. 

If this is actually the case, does anyone know where I might be able to obtain this program and how it can be done?

Thanks.

It's all right there, man. I just had to do it myself thanks to a virus wiping out my hard drive. I had some crucial, *ahem*, demos on there that I desperately needed back.

It works. Good luck
