Answer:

Without spending money on a 3rd party application, you can follow the steps I%26#39;ve outlined below to retrieve your music from your iPod.

___Step 1 - Enable View Hidden Files and Folders___

1) Open My Computer

2) Click the Tools menu option

3) Select "Folder Options"

4) Click the View tab

5) In the "Advanced Settings" section, select the option for "Show hiden files and folders"

6) Click OK

___Step 2 - Retrieve Your Music___

1) Connect your iPod (Note: If iTunes opens and asks if you want to sync the iPod, click Cancel, then close iTunes immediately.)

2) Open My Computer

3) Open the drive associated with your iPod

4) Open the iPod_Control folder

5) Copy all of these folders to your hard-drive

6) Open iTunes

7) Add the copied files to your iTunes library

Note: When iTunes copies the music to your iPod, it doesn%26#39;t keep the file names you had on your computer. There are free applications (MP3 Tag Tools) that will allow you to rename all of the files based on the MP3 tag. Or, you can set the option in iTunes to organize your music library for you and specify the location of the copied folders. iTunes will then rename all of your files. Oh that sucks. I don%26#39;t think you can. I was told to make backup Cd%26#39;s of all my iTunes songs in case something happened to my computer, but maybe there is something out there. Have you tried calling Apple Support and asking if this is even possible? you can contact itunes technical support. The same thing happened to me, and they let me re-download all of the items i bought! as long as ur musick is on ur ipod..
