    You can transfer your music by first authorizing your computer and then transferring all your purchases from your iPod Touch. Check this article :

    Instructions from transferring non-iTunes purchases, can be found here:

    Another way, is If you have access to the old computer you originally connected the iPod to, then you should be able to do that, by following this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478.

    Hello, friend. If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a step by step guide show you how to transfer iPod music to computer or iTunes library, hope it helps.

    Well, it's really a very easy thing. Try Amacsoft iPod to PC transfer, I always use it to move songs from iPod to PC. And we can also use it to move other kind of iPod files to PC, have a try!

    You can not pass the music on your device with iTunes but if you can with other apps such as mobikin, vibosoft coolmuster etc.

    I used the Mobikin iphone data transfer tool and I had successfully moved my 2000 songs from iphone 5s to pc (I have backups)

    Although you can't transfer music  from iPod to a new computer directly. You can use iOS tool or program to sync songs from iPod to pc. like MobiKin Assistant for iOS. It work well, I use it to backup many data for iOS device, like contacts, text messages, music, photos, video, tv shows, voice memo, podcasts, ringtones, etc. really convenient. This is my friend recommended to me. You can have a try. Believe it can help you transfer music from iPod  to computer easily.

    You can follow my way to transfer music from iPod to computer:

    • Plug your iPod into youe new computer using the Apple USB connection cable that came with it.
    • Launch iTunes and select the iPod from the "Devices". Locate the information labeled "Options" and select the box marked "Enable disk use." Click "OK."
    • Click the Windows Start button and click on "Computer" in the right column of the Start menu that opens. Double-click the icon for the iPod device in the Windows Explorer file browser window that opens.
    • Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options." Press the "View" tab, and check the box marked "Show hidden files and folders."
    • Open the directory named "iPod_Controls," which is located in the main file folder of the iPod. View the subfolder named "Music." Select the "Edit" menu, and choose "Select All."
    • Drag and drop the selected files and folders to a convenient location on the computer, such as the "My Music" folder. Wait for all of the files to transfer from the iPod.
    • Click "File" and then "Add Folder to Library," both in iTunes. Select the folder that contains all of the transferred music, and click "Import." The music files from the iPod is added to the iTunes library.

    It's a ripoff of your software. It has the same UI like another software.

    Last time I use it to transfer music from my iPod touch to my computer, it deleted all my data without warning.

    Which it cost me 40 dollars without any refund, it's totally a piece of S.

    Another guide from discussion demonstrates a lot of tools that work.

    how to transfer music from my ipod touch to my computer

    Try this instead of this one. Strongly recommended!
