downloading voice memos from iPod

My iPod is set to manually manage files when attached to iTunes. I have a list of voice memos on my iPod I need to download into my iTunes library so I can use them in an iMovie.
I can't drag and drop through iTunes... I can't import.... how to I get the voice memos off my iPod?
I also tried opening the iPod like a harddrive from the desktop, but the voice memos files aren't visable to copy and paste...

The article makes perfect sense, but when I open the iPod icon on my desktop the Recordings folder is empty. The Recordings folder doesn't contain files so I can't copy and paste.
The only place I can see and open the voice memos is through iTunes -> Janine's iPod -> voice memos. But from there I can't get them off the iPod onto my desktop or into iTunes Voice Memo folder.
Why am I not seeing the files in the Recordings Folder from my desktop?

Copy and paste this:

tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run

To turn it off, replace the 1 at the end with a 0 and press the run button again; the 0 is a numeral, not the letter o.
