Hi Gerald,

You don't say what version of iTunes & OSX are you using.

You can use iPod Rip.
It will not only copy all the music from your iPod to your Mac — including 
music purchased from the iTunes Music Store and audiobooks — but do so while 
maintaining the playlists you’ve created.

"Put control of the iPod back in your hands with the ultimate iPod companion. 
iPodRip supports recovering your songs and playlists, playback of audio files 
and much more."


Just take care ... NB: To STOP iTunes from auto-syncing with the iPod:
While connecting the iPod to your computer, be sure to hold down the Command + 
Option keys to prevent iTunes from auto-syncing with your iPod.
If you don't do so, iTunes may automatically erase the contents of your iPod!

Then use iPod Rip to "Automatic Recovery" Add all original songs and playlists 
to your iTunes Library from your device.

Cheers,
Ronni
