im very inexperienced on computers, so bare with me! IVE also guessed the area to put this, so please move it if you feel it is better suited elsewhere

basically my old laptop GAVE up a couple of months ago due t a problem with the circuitboard. however this old laptop had a few hundred songs on it, which are currently on my ipod. is their anyway I can still get this music off the old harddrive or my ipod onto my new computer?

thanks 



Yes...
You can remove the laptop HDD and do one of the following:
Most cost effective get a 2.5" laptop to IDE converter...about 8 Bucks and hook it up to a working PC as a slave drive and retrieve all the data.

                   

Or you can buy an external HDD enclosure and install it in there and do the same thing...approx 25 Bucks.
However if you decide to go the 2nd route i wouldn't get a 25$ one as your investing in it...get one that has an external power adapter cause you will be using it down the road and look at UNITS that accomodate more than 1 style of HDD.

My favorite unit is made by EAGLE...takes 4 styles of HDD's...is powered and also has a cooling fan...about 65Bucks.Spammer.Hi

If you load Itunes on your new computer and then connect the ipod.  You will be able to synchronise the the music from the ipod to the new computer like this from http://support.apple.com/kb/hT1329. In the section labled "Copy music to new computer"
