Question : Problem: Move Itunes playlist/songs from Ipod to new Windows XP box

I would like to move my Itunes playlists from one computer to another.  Unfortunately, my old computer hard disk crashed, so I can't export my old songs and playlists.  Is there a way to move my playlists from my Ipod to my new computer's ITunes.

I've been able to move my Purchased songs to my new Itunes based on authorizing my new computer as my 2nd computer for my purchases, but I would like to move all my playlists and songs from my Ipod to my new computer/Itunes.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and the latest Itunes.  I also have a recently purchased 30Gb IPod that was synced up to my old computer before it crashed and burned.

The cheap one
First set your Ipod to be used as a hard disk.
On the Ipod
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds.
press Select and Play when you see the Apple logo, the Ipod should show a check mark, now you are in Hard Disk Mode. Select the Ipod as a hard disk from explorer, with the op`tion "show hidden files" turned on, and proced to copy your music to your computer
You won't have the names on the files so do this
Search the web and download MP3TagEditor
Run it select one of the folders recovered from the Ipod, select all songs, right click on the mouse and select rename file from tag
Do this in all the folders, the you can copy all the music files to where you want, only thing is it ONLY WORKS WITH MP3, not with ACC that is the format that ITunes uses.
For ACC just install Itunes on the new computer and impor the folders.
