How do i sync an ipod to a different computer?

I broke my ipod :/ so I have been borrowing my dad's. But i want to put some of my songs onto it. But it gives me two options. 1. is to earse and sync. I cant do that one because i can't earse my dad's songs. 2. one is to transfer purchase. I dont exactly know what that means, so if someone could explain that to me please. It wont earse everything on my dad's ipod will it?

My dad had his friend put all his songs on his ipod, so his ipod is synced with that computer. So how do i get my songs onto his ipod off of my computer?

    Don't auto sync because ipod can only sync with one computer itunes or the ipod files will be erased.

    itunes blocks this function since itunes is the tool with one way to transfer files from itune to ipod. you must utilize other tools to achieve that. There're couple of tools for transferring the files between ipod and computer (for backup)depends on your demands, e.g transfer only songs/videos, transfer photos etc. You can have a look of below review site, hope it useful.

    I've had alot of problems with the computers I was using crashing. Everytime I try to connect my IPOD to a different computer, I end up having to erase everything and start from scratch. I think you are only allowed to sync it to one computer...

    You can sync it but it will delete all of the songs that were already on the ipod.
