Ipod Question

[Shrapnel]

Now I got this 40gb ipod a few years ago, so it's pretty old. When I had first got the ipod I had a computer with over 1000 songs. Well, my computer had stopped working, but all my songs were still on the ipod. I just recently got a new computer that I can download a bunch of songs, but is there a way I can upload the songs on my new running computer without erasing all of my old ones? Help is greatly appreciated, now I'm gunna finish ripping this bong.

Im not sure, iTunes is really weird, when it comes to stuff like that.
Ive never found away to do it on my iPod.
Its like you cant upload all your old songs to the libary so you can try and synchronize it.

[Transition Force]

yes you can

in your folder options make it so you can see hidden files and folders

and then access your ipod through windows explorer

then copy and paste the folder that says 'music'

My ipod is about 3 years old too and I just recently lost all my old songs. Apperently if you use it with windows and swith it to mac, you will lose all the songs you uploaded from a windows computer. So yeah, apple didn't think it out very well, or I was to stupid to realize how to save the music.
