How do I put songs on my iPod from a different computer?

I want to get some songs put on my iPod from my friends computer. He has USB and iTunes already installed. How can I put some of his songs on my iPod, whithout deleting mine, and then be able to come back to my computer and put those new songs in my library?

I don't believe so. You can MAYBE manually put those songs on your iPod, but i'm leaning towards no.

Try just making multiple CDs, or get a flash drive.

just set it to manual, and drag and drop his songs onto your ipod. That's how you get em on. Oh, when you plug in the ipod, hold down shift+ctrl until you're sure it won't auto sync. Then clikc "manually update" in the ipod preferences tab. To get em off, i wonder if it's possible to just clikc on the songs which are under "ipod" when it's manually being updated, and click copy and then try and do that? i just thought of that, although im sure it's been tested and doesn't work,

For my reply you'll need itunes ifyou don't have it already.

If the one of your computer's is a laptop, bring the laptop to the other person's house and simply homeshare the songs you would like into the library. Then you can plug in ur iPod and sync those songs on.
