AFAIK anyway, there are programs that allow you to save songs from your iPod to your computer, but if it's apple you can't connect to PC and same goes the other way. You can have up to 5 computers authorized for your library, and you can have 4 or 5 iPods on 1 computer.
That's why you use the transfer program to get the music off the Apple-formatted iPod and onto your PC, then reset it and sync it with your PC to get all of your music (including what just came off the iPod) back on it
