iTunes tells me that an iPod can only be sync'ed with one Library. But I want to move the music from my iPod to my new computer and then use my new computer as my iPod library.

There are a few things you have to do. First, you should authroize your computer to play the songs on your iPod (if any are from the iTunes store). So open up iTunes, in the menu click "Store," then click "Authorize Computer." Put your iTunes account name and password. Now you can play any songs from your other computer. Now comes the hard part, getting the music from your iPod to your new computer. The only way I know how to do it is by plugging the iPod into the computer and going to "My Computer." Find your iPod, "Drive (Letter)". Then go to iPod_Control. *IMPORTANT* The folder is hidden! So you might not be able to see it! Then go to "Music." See a bunch of folders? Your songs are in all of those. So copy them on to your hard drive. Now uplaod them onto iTunes. Let me know if it helped!

You will have to switch from letting ITunes manage your music to manual. Check all four boxes in the section when you click on your IPod towards the bottom. To get anything off of your IPod you will have to install a program that will rip it from your IPod, Apple doesn't want you to be able to do this because it means less money for them. I use ICanExport, this will take anything off of your IPod that you want and it is a free program. Here is the link for it.

Oh yeah, ITunes will erase your library every chance that it gets, be careful.
