I recently lost my old computer to a virus with all my itunes music on it.
i still have my ipod with all the music.
is there anyway i can download itunes again then transfer the songs back to itunes from my ipod?

Yeah! This exact thing happened to me. I got so frustrated, because apple couldn't do anything. But here's what you do. just plug your iPod into your computer, then go into "my computer". Click on your ipod. click tools, then folder options. once in that window click the "view" tab. then click "show hidden folder" then click apply, and okay. then you will see a folder that says ipod control. go into that folder then go into music. you will see a lot of different folders. go into all of them and drag the files inside onto your desktop. the files will be named things like "ASDF" but once they're in iTunes they will have their correct names. To put them into iTunes, drag the files on your desktop into a new folder on your desktop that you can name like music, or whatever. (to create a new folder right click your desktop then click new, then folder). Then open iTunes. Then open the folder, and select all of the music. Then drag it all into iTunes.
