You don't need a program.
When you plug your ipod into another computer it should ask you if you want to sync or transfer purchases. Hit transfer purchases and you're set. It does take a while, though.
If it doesn't do it by itself, right click on the icon for your ipod in the left bar and Transfer Purchases should be there.

You don't need a program.
Here's two ways to do it, without a program.
1. A reader points out a straightforward way for Windows users to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:
1. Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
2. In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
3. In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
4. Navigate to the Music folder. On my 2nd gen 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media DevicesGINA'S IPOD (F:)iPod_ControlMusic
5. Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.")
