I have a bunch of songs on my iPod already and would like to add some more. The problem is that the original library of songs was on a computer that crashed and now I have a new library of songs that does not include many of the old ones that I had before. The real questions are - Can I take the songs from my iPod and put them in my new iTunes library and, if so, how? or Can I add the songs from my new iTunes library to my iPod without deleting the songs that are already on it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use your iPod to transfer your music back to your iTunes library. You first have to 'unlock' some hidden files.
Try this! It's easy and it works!
-open iTunes on your computer, then open iTunes preferences and leave running (this will temporarily prevent your computer from trying to sync with iPod)
-connect your iPod and wait about 15 seconds
-Go to My Computer, go to tools, click on 'folder options', then 'view tab,' then 'show hidden files.'
-open the iPod icon in My Computer
-open ipod_control
-drag the 'music' folder to somewhere on your hard drive
-right click this new music folder and select 'properties'
-clear checkmark next to 'hidden' then close this window
-eject iPod from your System Tray using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon at the bottom right corner of your screen
-cancel the iTunes preferences window
-go to File menu, click 'add folder to library,' add 'music' folder

this is why i like my zen. i put music and able to put it back on the computer. but other than that try going to my computer, then theyre should be a source for your ipod or another drive source next to the main harddrive. you probably could get them out manually and put them back on the computer. if not possible. then good luck
