New d/l of itunes, can I save my current ipod music? / myLot

I bought a new computer a while back and didn't bother d/ling itunes until today to add more music to my ipod. I don't have all of my old music on my new hard drive so I want to keep all of the music on my ipod and just add new music. When I try to synchronize up, itunes wants to delete all the music currently on my ipod. Is there a way around this?

download the free trial of a program called copypod ;) http://www.copytrans.net/ that should do the trick. also, you could just deselect all synching options under itunes.

One thing my boyfriend thought me. Connect your ipod to your computer and open it as a hard drive, that's what he told me and it would automatically copy the songs on your ipod to your new itunes in the new PC. If that doesn't work, maybe you should just download again or save your songs in your old computer in a flash disk and then paste it in the new one. Time-consuming I can say.

In a mac computer it's pretty straightforward just select the iPod icon and check the "Manage songs manually" then drag and drop whatever you want into it. For more see http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorials/
