I don't know if the same method works for the iPod Touch since I find it over-priced for a total of 16 GB of space (at least, that's my take on it) considering I can get 80 GB at a lower price. However, it is one method you could possibly try. If I remember correctly, you'll have to set your system settings to see hidden files/folders. The only drawback to the method is that you'll have to manually rename all of the files after you copy them to the computer. At least, that's what I had to do.

I thought you could get iTunes to sync to your iPod, tell it to put all the songs in the library and make sure you have the option to make it copy all songs to an iTunes music folder, then you could just copy them out of that folder?

doesn't work either

that doesn't work either, not possible
If you own an older ipod and copy them directly, you don't keep the appropriate filenames, etc...

Winamp is decent but copypod sucks at it
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut,
Floola does a great job, and can copy everything in different ways, like /artist/album/ and custom filenames, but i can't remember if it supports the iPod Touch, MediaMonkey does the job even better and nicer, and can play everything in the ipod, and it's very nice and fast for very big music collections, it can copy to the ipod, extract from the ipod, repair the ipod's database, it's nice.

Winamp doesn't need a plugin anymore

btw, Jimbo, if you'd like to have stuff available when you connect to the internet/lan with your ipod touch, you might wanna look into winamp's orb extension(shown when you're installing) which enables you to stream stuff videos, music, etc. from liek everywhere to your ipod, without using it's space...
