Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
ok you can get all your songs back on your computer, i do it all the time trust me, my computer crashed and all my songs got deleted...
im absoulutley positive this program works haha its called idump, its free, you download it, works great...
it will transfer all your songs from your ipod, unto your computer...from there you can just import those files to your itunes.........then you can buy new songs or whatever..
..ok make sure that your itunes isnt configured so that it automatically updates when you connect it to the computer.....just incase
here is the program

Connect the iPod to the computer, and then go to "My Computer". You should be able to access the iPod from there and copy everything from your iPod to the computer. If you can get into the iPod but can't see the files, click Tools > Folder Options > View, and check the box next to "Show hidden files and folders".
This is only going to work if your iPod already has disk use enabled. If your iPod doesn't have disk use enabled (if you can't access it from "My Computer"), open iTunes (this should go without saying, but don't update the iPod at this stage) and then go to Edit > Options > iPod and check the box next to "Enable disk use".
However, if you have configured your iPod so that it automatically updates when you connect it to the computer, I don't think there's anything you can do.

It's impossible to keep the songs on your ipod that isn't on your itunes.
why don't you put the songs on your ipod back onto your itunes with the new songs you've added? either that or buy a new ipod...which isn't too much of a plan...
