Apple has a guide for you to get the music from your iPod to a computer. Here's the link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Once you have the music on a computer, copy it to the new iPod.

You need iTunes, and you need third party software for music retrieval. Find software that will let you take music off an iPod, and put the music on your hard drive. Normally this software is marketed for the purpose of people whose computers have crashed, and their ipod is the only living backup of their music. Once you have all of your music, load it into iTunes. If you have access to your friend's music on a computer, then copy it into iTunes, and then use the "consolidate library" option, to make sure all of the music is copied onto your computer. Then load it onto the iPod using iTunes.
You can't load any music back on unless you use iTunes, or a similar program, because the iPod stores the music in a strange fashion to attempt to confuse music pirates (ahem).
If your friend doesn't have their music on their computer, then you will have to do the same with their music as you do for the music from your ipod to get it onto your computer. Once you have a copy on your computer, it shouldn't be hard to get it all to load back onto the iPod. It's getting it off the things which is hard.
