How can I copy songs from the ipod to other computers?
I have various computers, more than three and when I plug my ipod to them Itunes says that the ipod is not linked to that itunes library and that if I done so, I will lose all the songs recorded in the ipod. This is the most frustrating thing, because I own the computers and I own the songs, I can not understand why this happens and even more, what do I have to do to fix it?

1. Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
2. In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
3. In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check “Show hidden files and folders.”
4. Navigate to the Music folder. On my 2nd gen ‘pod, the full path is
Portable Media DevicesGINA’S IPOD (F:)iPod_ControlMusic
5. Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you’re done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.”)
