how to transfer iPod music to iTunes

First, download iPhone Explorer.

This program will let your copy your whole music library from your ipod right to your mac.
Keep in mind, NONE of your songs will be titled correctly.

Once you've downloaded iPhone Explorer, you'll need to locate your music folder that are on your ipod.
You can find them in /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music
Once you find your music folder just drag and drop it into whatever folder you want your music to be in.

Like I said before, your music files will not be named correctly but when I imported the songs that I had dragged straight from my iphone into iTunes, iTunes automatically renamed the song to the exact name of the song that was in my iTunes library.
Keep in mind, I only tested this on one song, so I don't know if it works for every single song I have.
After you've saved all your songs from your ipod, import the whole folder to your iTunes through iTunes itself.
You do that by clicking on File>Add to Library>folder your music is in>Choose
If all your songs aren't renamed to the exact name that they are on your ipod then your best bet is to rename them manually.

Disclaimer:
I have not tested this program on an ipod and I'm also assuming that you have an ipod touch.
If you have an ipod touch then this method will work perfectly.
Goodluck.
