How can I copy mp3s FROM my iPod to iTunes or to a PC? I tried dragging the album from my iPod to the Library in iTunes... but it doesn't work...

it's not really intuitive, but it's not hard. use www.ephpod.com

is there a way to do it without installing additional software?

you can view the hidden files if you look at it like a disc drive, find the songs that you want and copy them, but you can't do it from within itunes i think.

no, thats the only way. if you were using it as an external hard drive it would be no problem, but since you put the songs into the database the only way to get them out is by using a different program.

Like I've said before, my brother writes a program for this, but it costs $15 (I think). Check it out, though; it's really good at retaining the correct file names and has a nice interface.
