Copying music from iPod to iBook

In another thread here I've been describing the problems that a work mate has being having with her iBook (Basically 2 hard drive failures, iBook replace, then two logic board failures)

She's now up and running again and her kids want to update their iPods. She'd copied their CDs to her original iBook and then downloaded it to their iPods.

She's just synced her son's iPod with her new iPod, not realising that it would sync the empty iTunes on her iBook with the iPod and wipe all of her son's music. Her son had about 9 albums on so it's not too bad.

Her daughter however, has a heck of a lot more music on her iPod and she doesn't want to to the same.

Is there a fairly easy, cheap, method of getting the music back to the iBook. Hopefully on that doesn't involve the use of terminal, etc. as she's a fairly basic Mac user and anything too involved would probably confuse her

Regards

Mike

Hi,
If you would like to copy music from the iPod back to the computer one solution is the shareware iPodRip on VersionTracker http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20083 (the one I use).
An even easier to use solution is the freeware iPodDisk which allows you to drag the music files directly from your iPod to the computer.
There are other solutions as well, just do a search at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.
