Ipod and computer...

Okay I was wondering how can I put the music thats on my ipod onto my laptop..thanks guys..

...use itunes to transfer it *from* the ipod to the computer, and connect via the cable that came with the ipod.

yes,you can make it and all you need is a three party utility which I recommend Aniosoft ibackup. It enables you to transfer iPod's music and other content to any storage device and iTunes as well. And both the backup in the storage device can be convered and restored with no any change and no any risk.And the data in the iTunes is quite in accord with the iPod's data including its playlists,rating and etc. So in your case,you can make a music transfer from your iPod to the newly installed iTunes with this tool and make a backup for the ipod's content in your laptop as well. There is a note that needs your attention,you have to turn off the auto sync of the iTunes before you can make this transfer.
for your convenience,I'll add the links here:
