OK IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!
Here is how to transfer music from an iPod to a computer. iTunes doesn't let you do this normally, this is to stop music sharing. But, if like me, you've had your HD reset, then this is the easy way to put the music back on it or, dare I say, share music from someone else!
Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer. DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET.
Open iTunes.
Open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running.
Connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing.
Open 'My Computer'.
Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'.
Open iPod icon in My Computer.
Open iPod_Control folder.
You should see a folder named Music.
Drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive.
After the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and Select 'Properties'.
Clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'.
Close that explorer window.
Eject iPod from System tray using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. Right-click & select 'Safely remove' then click 'Stop' in the next window, ‘OK’ in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.
Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
Go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window.
Then go... File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod. Click add and it will then move all the copied music into your library. You can then delete the copied 'Music Folder'.
Your iTunes library should be back in action!

If you have just reinstalled itunes, and didn't delete all your music from your itunes library before you did so, then you shouldn't have to do anything, the tracks should all be there when you open itunes up again.

You should be able to plug in your ipod and sync it. Whatever is on the ipod will be transferred to iTunes.

Apple don't want you to copy music FROM your iPod.
You might be able to find a program to crack the protection, though.
