Switching - Apple crashed, would like to switch I-Pod w/songs to Dell

Hello, I hope someone can help direct me on this.
A few months ago my old Apple G-4 went down. Since I only used it for I-Pod/I-Tunes, it's not worth fixing to me.
I love the I-Pod and all my 1,900 songs are stored on it. This is my second I-Pod and I orig. received the firt one when they initially came out.
I have new Dell Precision M654 laptop for work and would like to switch my I-Pod to this. BUT I'd like to import the songs from the I-Pod to the Dell. Since I've had I-Pods for so long, I don't have the CD's anymore.
I called my local LV Apple store, explained the situation and they said the directions were on Apple.com/support to do this. I can't seem to find them and I've been looking for hours.
Does anyone have any suggestion or can offer assistance/directions to do this? I'm really at a loss and don't want to lose all my songs.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

If your iPod is Windows formatted, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
