Please help! I have a question about iPod and iTunes?

I recently restored the computer of which my iPod was compatible to, and that it was automatically synchronized to. I didn't get a chance to save any of my music, so all is lost, nor did I get a chance to change automatic syncing to manual before restoration. I would now like to hook my iPod to another computer (the laptop), and start all over. I still do have the music on my iPod and I would like to export the songs from it to the iTunes library on the laptop. The last time I hooked the iPod to the laptop, it froze, and so did the computer. What do I need to do? Is it possible to export the songs? Are there any options out there? Please, I do not want to lose my music, as the songs have been difficult to recover elsewhere. Thanks for the help.
