    For transferring music and other media files from iPod back to mac and its iTunes, many of my friends are using 4Media iPod to Mac Transfer
    http://gutensoft.com/Utilities/4Media-iPod-to-Mac-Transfer.html

    It can help easily transfer all music, photos, videos, playlists, podcast, and TV shows on your iPod back to your Mac completely and safely, and add them to the local iTunes library in a direct way. Also, you can use it to add files from Mac to iPod.

    The great thing is that it won't cause any deletion of any files while transferring, because: when this program is launched, it will modify the automatic synchronization of music/video to manual synchronization between iPod and iTunes.

    It even has step-by-step guide:
