Updating your iPod's software, whether a major update or not, will re-sync the music to it from the computer after the software is finished installing.

Unless the music is bought from iTunes, then you won't be able to transfer it without third-party software.
You won't be able to transfer music that wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store using an iPod Touch because the Ipod Touch (First-Generation anyway, as far as I know) doesn't allow disk use.
I do not know of any third party software that is completely free and provides this ability through its demo.
Here is an article from Apple that you can use if you have any other kind of iPod available to use that allows disk use:

  • How do I get songs from one computer to another?

      I had found it once on apple support, but I'm having trouble finding it again. Can someone tell me how you get your songs from one computer to another? I'm consolidating all the songs from my wife's laptop on to mine so we can share the same library, but I don't know how to get her songs on my computer, and as a result, my iTunes.

    Go to the itunes folder and copy all of the songs on to an external hard drive.  Then copy them from the hard drive to the other computer
    You could also use home sharing which will send the songs over your wireless.

  • Getting songs from one computer to another

    I bought an album a few weeks ago (first time) and I just bought a new laptop. How can I get these files from my old computer to my new one? I thought if I make the new computer authorized, I would have access to these files, but cannot. Please help. I have spent too many hours already reading stuff on this page and have hit a dead end every time. Also, if you answer with something, I may have tried it already, so please be prepared for a follow-up question. Thank you very much.

    Well...you physically need to copy them from one computer to the other. You can do this by putting the files on a thumb drive for the transfer, burning them to a disc or via a firewire cable (Google Target Disk Mode for info on using the firewire cable to do this).
    You'll also need to authorize the second computer in order to play the purchased content.

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

  • How can I get songs from one laptop to another?

    I have all my music from one iTunes, and to put the songs in the iPod and then in the other computer using "transfer purchases" isn't working as it is only transferring apps. That's why I need to get it from one computer to another. Thank you.

  • Trying to take songs from one computer to another

    I am using iTunes on one computer with three ipods. My mother has a laptop and she wants to put all the songs from my computer onto hers so she can use her ipod on her laptop instead of using mine. I searched online to see how to do it and was told to plug ipod in and click on enable disk use, then I went to my computer and dragged over the artists and songs from my music to the ipod. I then plugged the cord for the ipod into my mothers laptop and dragged each artist into itunes under music. When I tried to eject her ipod it said it was in use so I just left it in. When I had plugged it in a box came up that said that the ipod could only be used on one computer so if I wanted to use it on this new computer I would have to delete it. I thought that's what I was supposed to do so I pressed delete. I went through the songs and took out ones I didn't want and then synced her ipod. I took it out and when I go to play a song that is listed under music in the library it says it can not be found. It only works when I have the ipod connected. My father wants to use the laptop as well and I don't understand what happened. Did I mess it up when I pushed delete? Should I take everything off her ipod and then redo it all on my other computer? I really don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at [email protected] and put something in the subject line about itunes or ipod so I won't delete it. Thanks so much

    Although an iPod can be used in disk mode, it is easier to move songs from one computer to another using a USB flash drive.
    When the songs are on the computer where you want them, add them to the iTunes library on that computer, and then you will be ready to sync the iPod.

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy
