Soon, I will be getting a new computer. The one I have now we've had for four or five years and it's getting slow. I have an iPod and I don't know how to save my songs so I can put them on my new computer. I don't have a CD burner so that won't work. Is there any way I can send them to a friend's computer and they can send it to my new computer? I really don't want to have to buy all my songs again that would be way too expensive. Thank you in advance. (link)

Just using the iPod to move them is probably the best idea. When plugged in to the computer, you can use it just like you would any other kind of disk. Alternatively, if you have or can borrow an external hard drive, it will work just like the iPod for moving files. Finally, if anyone in your family knows networking and both the computers have ethernet or wireless, you can set up a network and move them that way.
EDIT: In reply to your question (I have no idea if it's possible to contact you directly or message you or whatever), the directions for using your ipod as a disk are as follows:
Set your iPod to be an external hard disk.
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select iPod in the iTunes source list.
3. Click the iPod options button in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
4. Click the “Enable disk use” checkbox, and then click OK.
5. Close iTunes and notice that your iPod appears on your Mac desktop or in the Windows Explorer on your PC.
6. To eject the iPod on a Mac, select the iPod on the desktop and drag it to the Trash.
7. To eject the iPod on a PC, select the iPod in the Windows Explorer, right click on the iPod and then choose Eject from the pop-up menu that appears. Or at the bottom-right of the screen, click the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ icon.
