one for the apple/itunes geeks / anybody that can use a computer better than me

just found an ipod nano from about seven years ago, got about 1k songs on there, and theres some absolute belters on there, currently sat lisning to it.

I want to get all the songs off this and put them onto my computer/iTunes so I can put them onto my phone and new ipod.

now im not really very good with the whole iphone/ipod/iTunes thing, i.e. it wasn't long ago I found out what that little symbol is in the top corner of my phone and why I couldn't rotate the screen (After a 18 months ownership )

if I plug the ipod into my computer to extract the songs will I loose all the songs on my iTunes? I think this ipod was set up to a different itunes account if that makes any difference?

i.e. I have ipod with X songs. iphone with Y songs. if iplug ipod in will I loose Y songs? or will it take X songs off ipod and combine them with Y songs?

next question.... how do I get songs off a device onto iTunes? haha

cheers guys

The basic way of explaining what you need to do is set the ipod to act like a USB flash drive and then you can simply copy and paste the music file off of the ipod.
