No need for programs to transfer your music from ipod to computer
here's a simple way to access it free

start by opening "My Computer" and find your ipod there and x2 click it. You'll notice there's only Notes, Contacts, and Calender folders.

Now goto the Toolbar and click the "Tools" tab and click "Folder Options..." In there click the "View" tab and under Advanced Settings find the "Hidden files and folders" and click that to reveal two options, select "Show hidden files and folders" then click "Apply" and "Ok"

My Computer>iPod>Tools>Folder Options...>View>Show hidden files and folders>Apply>Ok

Then you should now see an additional folder (slightly faded) called "iPod_Control" then find the "Music" folder and there should be folders starting with an "f" and in those folders is wala yo music!

My Computer>iPod>iPod_Control>Music>F0x

very simple solution, no just "Copy/Paste" the music files to your music folder and "Open With... Itunes" and you will be goood to go
