may help.
The Apple design philosophy is to take purchased music from a CD or the
iTunes Store into iTunes and then put that music (or some of it) onto
the iPod by a sync process. It is designed as a one way process with one
iPod only connecting to one computer.
If you take a blank iTunes installation and show it a full iPod it will
want to erase the iPod in order to sync with its own (empty) collection.
The iPod is basically a disk or flash drive with a media player, you can
enable the disk mode (or set it to manually manage) then the iPod
appears as a drive to your OS - like a USB memory stick.
The music folders are usually hidden in Windows until you turn on the
"show hidden or system files" option in Windows Explorer.
If your music collection will fit on your iPod you could drag and drop
the whole lot onto it providing your OS recognises it as a drive and can
handle the file system.
