Apple iPod Touch, songs & video gone?

sooo... i have an Apple iPod Touch, and my old laptop is fried. so i was wondering. if i were to download iTunes in this new computer and plug my iPod in, will all the songs, videos etc. be gone?

Cos' i think i read somewhere a long time ago (well, not that long) that it'll all be gone if i plug it into a new computer. i dont wanna lose my songs as i do not have backup.

    This iPod rip can help you on this.

    http://ipod-tool.com/ipod-software/joboshare-ipod-...

    My sister found it when she had to transfer her iPod files to her new laptop.

    It can help you transfer all music, videos, playlists, photos, podcasts and TV Shows and more from iPod to PC, from iPod to iTunes, from PC to iPod transfer and file sharing between multiple iPods. The greatest thing is that the whole process won't cause any deletion of any files on your iPod. You can free download it to try.

    Good luck!

    in case you propose on shifting all 1148 songs onto an iPod touch, then I definitely advise getting the 16GB. The iPod touch isn't as exciting devoid of having video. The iPod touch between different electronics is amazingly sturdy. I certainly have had little difficulty with it in my months with it.

    No i don't think you will lose all your videos and songs if u've already added them to the new itunes in ur new computer. it will work fine as long as it has songs in it. but to be risk i suggest 1st back them up and then sync so it will be much safer create copies of the songs and store it somewhere.so if anything as such happens you won't lose everything.

    unless u can put the old hard drive into your new computer there is no way to get the songs back, sorry, or if you go out to best buy, circuit city, etc.and buy the itunes beta or something like that you can prob. do that.
