Transferring iPod music to iTunes library - how?

[Blade Runner]

I know how to transfer music from my iTunes library to my iPod mini, but how in the name of all that is decent do I transfer my iPod tracks onto the iTunes library?

The reason I need to do this is because I want to transfer my library onto another computer (my laptop).

Can anyone help? I have looked all through the iPod / iTunes help sections.

:shrug:

hey there u wont find any help on the apple site because apple dont want you to be able to do soo, copyright issues e.t.c but you can download 3rd party software that will allow u do transfer songs from ipod to compture, the one i use is called ipod rip and it can be found on www.download.com i think it only for mac but if youre on a pc there are other programes out there good luck :thumbs:

Download a trial of iPod Agent - that will allow you to download all of your Music to your Computer.

^ I find this very frustrating. I mean, loads of people have more than one computer at home, and the fact that you cannot simply store your library in more than one place is stupid.

I found a piece of software called 'iPod copy' that seems to do what I'm looking for (it's not free, but is pretty cheap - $15). Any one have any experience of this or can you recommend something else?

EDIT : Cheers john316. ;)
