what is "www.ilounge.com/...i" <-- broken link? 

ohya, i knew there is one way to copy your song from iPod, by using windows.. it's like,
you connect your iPod to windows, later, go VIEW --> folder option --> show hidden file..
There you go, you may not want to open you iTunes, use your iPod as a Hard disk.. Therefore, you will find all hidden file under your iPod, go there and search your songs, and copy-paste (somewhere you know) them, later, unplug your iPod, use iTunes to play, because the name of the song will appear all funny name, so again, use your iTunes to play it, "get info" to find your song i hope it helps you 

i have used this method before in my pc. it worked, but i am not sure about mac..
