I understand your problem and i want to help you.


Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.

Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.

Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.

The music files should transfer to your iTunes.

Wow, that post looks familiar!!

Look up the word "plagiarism" in the dictionary.

Or you can do what I did above. Since you are going to answer this question a few million times, just save the links to past discussions and post those links everytime. That way the original poster's words are directly read. No need to re-invent the wheel.
