So I realize that I can't upload those songs to the computer (or can I?).
It wants me to "sync" the iPod with the iTunes library, but I think if I do that, it'll erase every song on the iPod that wasn't purchased. Right? Wrong?

You don’t want to do that, it’ll erase every song on the iPod that's not on your computer.

I've got a fever...
one way is to check the "enable disk use" box on the ipod information screen in iTunes (when the ipod is connected) Then, the iPod is like an external disk drive. Assuming you're using a PC, go into My Computer, select the iPod as the drive, set the folder so that hidden files are displayed, and voila, all your music is there and can be moved over to your harddrive, then moved back into iTunes.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I'm on Windows Vista. Any ideas?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Yes. Get a modern operating system. Mac OSX comes to mind.
Mac people scare me.
Any helpful advice from those not yet subsumed by the Apple Borg?
You don't have to be afraid of us, seriously, we’re mostly harmless. No, sorry, I've already been assimilated – about 25 years ago.
So is Steve Jobs officially a cult leader or what? Mac people scare me. Any helpful advice from those not yet subsumed by the Apple Borg?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Another question for you all: First, thanks for the help. I've got the iPod "enabled as disk" and I can now at least move songs around. But I cannot figure out how to "set the folders to so the hidden files are displayed." So I can look on my iPod - but no music. I know it's there somewhere. By the way, I'm on Windows Vista. Any ideas?
