Yeah, at the time I had the vast majority of my music on the new computer (transferred from the old), so it was a surprise to me that it offered, but I wasn't worried if it wiped the iPod.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
someone sent me this link. it can't be this easy, can it?
It was for me. The file names and directory structures are greek, but iTunes doesn't care. It does its own parsing.

Can I do it with more than one library?

I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work. I know I borrowed some music from a friend into my existing library that way too.

O gosh Vortex. Sorry to tease. When I d/l'd it the other morning, I could have sworn I saw Linux & Windows links.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I've docked my iPod before in another Mac, it just transfered all the music and movies automatically.

Man iPod's are a hassle. How on earth did they get to be so popular?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Because, for one thing, most everything else was worse.
And it's not a hassle for most things. I've successfully plugged mine into two separate computers and downloaded the music from the pod to computers.

Huh? Okay, Sony fucked up big time with the early digital walkmans but I'm not sure what else could be called "worse". I've got a couple of MP3 players and they were just drag and drop like USB memory sticks. Nowadays, I just use my Nokia 6085 mobile phone as an MP3 player and it plays music just fine and is also a simple drag and drop.
