How do I transfer music from ipod classic to ipod touch?

I have an old 30GB iPod Classic with a lot of music on it. I just inherited my son's iPod Touch. Is there a way to transfer my music files (about 1100 songs) from the old one to the new one. Some of the songs were downloaded from the iTunes Store, others were made from my own CD's.
Also, my son and I each have our own iTunes accounts. Can I safely switch the newer iPod Touch from his account to mine?
Tim

Since no one is responding to my question, I will post some ideas I have gotten from browsing other peoples' questions.
It seems that the first thing I should do is follow instructions to move all of my son's iTunes Store purchased content from the iPod Touch to his iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. Then he should be able to sync it to his new iPhone 5 or not, depending on whatever he wants to do with it. But at least, it would not be lost.
I have already copied the purchased content from my old iPod Classic to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. However, I would still need to obtain some third party software to copy my non-purchased content from the Classic to my account on the Macbook Pro.
Then, the next step might be to change the iTunes account on the Touch from his to mine. Is this a safe operation?
Then, I should be able to sync the Touch to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro, thus getting all of my content onto the Touch.
Does the above sound like a reasonable course of action? Would any additional steps be advisable? Thank you very much for any advice you could provide.
Tim

    How do I transfer it back to my iPhone &/or computer?
    Both my iPhone and iPod are showing in my iTunes and I can even play the music from my iPod.
    But I don't seem to be able to either drag & drop, or copy & paste my music.
    Syncing only warns me I will replace the music on my ipod, WHICH I DONT WANT TO DO.
    Help please!

    There are a few programs out there that allow you to transfer your music from your iPod to your computer, but I believe you have to pay for most of them. Here is a link to a program I know of:

    There are other programs out there that will do the same thing, so I would start doing some searches on google and see what you find. I also found this article on Apple's website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

    How do I transfer music from iPod to iPod and I don't have windows on my MAC. I don't want to have to load everything again onto the new ipod.

    You can't transfer directly from iPod to iPod.
    But it's easy if you are using the sync setting to put music on your first iPod. You just connect the second iPod to your Mac and sync it to your iTunes library, like you did with the first one.
    If you are using the +manually manage music+ setting AND the music on the first iPod is NOT in your iTunes library (only on the iPod), then it is not so easy. You need to use a third party utility first, such as Senuti or YamiPod

    to transfer your music files from the first iPod to the iMac. Put the music into your iTunes library. Sync the second iPod to the iTunes library (or transfer manually if you don't want to use sync for some reason).

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    As all of the music came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and it should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • How can I transfer music from iPod to iTunes?

    All of the music on my iPod nano is in my ex-husband's iTunes on a Mac. Now have a Windows PC and want to transfer music from iPod to iTunes. Computer says 'Need to Format disk in Drive E'. Will this lose everything? Not sure what the best way is to do everything but haven't got any way of backing up my iPod at present. Thank you!

    any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

  • How do i transfer music from IPOD to Library

    I have music on my ipod that wasn't purchased thru itunes. I cannot transfer this music from ipod to itunes.Itunes will only transfer purchased music using version 9. Help..............

    The only way that I could advise you to do is by an application which is available for free on the app store called "Isharemusic". The applications has been giving an okay reviews on the Internet sites... That application allows you to send songs you have on your iPod to your email, from there you can download them to your home computer or whatever. Then you could add them to the iTunes library in your own ways.
    Application link to the app store below:

  • How do you transfer music from IPOD to New Computer

    What do you do if you get a new computer? Itunes says IPOD is synced with another library and will not transfer music.

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
