How to add songs from ipod on to itunes

I am was a person with a really slow computer so i didnt want to keep my songs and movies on my itunes. i deleted any songs i added. Now that i have a new computer i realized that i dont have to delete them anymore bc this computer is much faster.
My question is if there is any way to add my songs and movies from my ipod onto my Macbook Itunes?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Unfortunately, you cannot add songs that were added by iTunes onto your iPod onto another computer. But you can transfer your old library, if you saved it on your old computer, to your new computer.

However, if you purchase songs from the Wi-Fi music store on your iPod, you can transfer them to your computer when you sync. (I'm not sure what the directory for Mac is but I guess you should know; File>Transfer purchases from "iPod." I think 'file' is the green circle.)

Apple does not allow file transfers from the iPod back into iTunes!

But there are several programs available to copy files from the iPod back onto either the computer/Mac or iTunes itself.

Unfortunately, these are 3rd party softwares and most must be purchased.

You can try download.com for some softwares or Google a search for iPod backup softwares.
