Transfer songs from another ITunes on new computer onto shuffle 2nd gen

Question

my old computer broke so am using another computer now, which has ITunes already on it, however my shuffle keeps saying its already synced to another computer so i can either transfer my songs to this new computer or erase and sync with this one. i;d like to keep the songs i have on my shuffle.
i just found out i cant unsync it (shuffles apparently are only ever synced to 1 computer, unlike other IPods can)
is there any way around this? i want to add more songs to my Shuffle but its synced to my old computer which doesnt work. i need help ASAP

Answer 1

You can recover the songs from the shuffle and put them into your new iTunes. Once you have done that you can sync the shuffle and link it to the new library. Retrieving songs from a shuffle is a bit different from retrieving songs from a regular iPod, for a shuffle follow this process:
1). On your Windows desktop go to Edit>New folder and add a folder to receive the songs from your shuffle.
2). Download SharePod from this link: SharePod
3). Connect your shuffle to your computer. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. Your iPod will connect but iTunes won't open, the hardware icon should appear in your Windows system tray.
4). Open Sharepod, it should have picked up the presence of your iPod and show all the songs on it.
5). Highlight all your songs in the program window (click on the first song in the list and hold down the shift key, click on the last song and all the songs in between will be selected).
6). Click Copy to PC (the icon is in the top left corner) and choose the folder you created on the desktop or simply drag the songs from SharePod to the folder: SharePod - Copying tracks to your PC
7). When all the songs have transferred close SharePod
8). Disconnect your iPod by right clicking on the hardware icon in your system tray: Safely Disconnect iPod
9). Check the desktop folder and make sure all your songs are there.
10) Open iTunes and go to File>Add Folder to Library, navigate to the folder on your desktop and add the songs.
11). Connect your iPod. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Choose "Erase and Sync", iTunes will reload your shuffle with the songs you recovered and link the iPod to this new library.
