Problem with my iPod?

Okay, so my computer completely crashed and I lost my iTunes. So after I fixed the computer, I reloaded iTunes and all of my music was gone. Luckily my iPod had all of my important music. I was wondering how I go about putting the songs from my iPod back on iTunes because I was told my iPod would be completely erased if I plugged it back into my computer? Any help would be great!

    **an iPod is like a storage device, like an USB and all ur stuff is in there, but HIDDEN! and by following my steps ur simply unhiding stuff :D follow these steps:

    1) connect ur iPod to ur PC

    2) open my computer > Apple iPod (disk)

    3) type in the adress toolbar of the folder : "iPod_Control"

    4) then it will open an empty folder or it may contain tones/gamestats

    5) dont open them, just type in the toolbar agan: "Music"

    6) right click in Any space and make sure the "Hidden" place in un-checked.....

    7) ull c folders named F14 - F28 - and many more ;)

    8) open them, and there r all ur videos + music!! the names might be "DZUG" or "SIMF" but never mind that....!

    9) copy eeeeeeeeverything into r hard drive or any folder in ur PC

    10) from there, drag the songs (called GHDD or whatever) into ur iTunes

    11) THEN NAMES WILL COME BACK!

    *make sure u follow step #9 carefully....u HAVE TO save the music files somwhere else in ur PC (dont just drage the stuff from the iPod disk directly to iTunes)

    PS i do this for my iPod nano and i have Windows XP - so if it doesnt work then probably cuz ur using different stuff...

    you cant get musice from your ipod to your computer but there is a setting that you could change that would allow you to add more songs but not erase all the current songs on your ipod
