Hello,
You can try iDump. It is completely free and for the most part works fairly well. But it does not support iPod Touch.
So you need a program to help you to do that. iPod to Computer Transfer. It can transfer photos from iPod to computer, easily transfer audio and videos to iPod/iPhone,transfer iPod music/videos to computer and transfer music/videos from one iPod to another iPod/iPhone.
iTunes allows only one-way synchronization of musics from computer to iPod, so if for whatever reasons such as need to reload your library on local hard disk due to desktop hard disk failure or buying new computer, you can easily copy back the video, music and song library from iPod on a Windows PC by following steps:
Insert your iPod to a Windows PC USB or FireWire port. (PC should runs Windows XP or other Windows operating system).
If your Windows PC still doesn’t have iTunes installed, skip this step. If iTunes is already installed and prompt a message on whether if you’d like to associate this iPod with this computer and deleting its content, click No. Or else you will lose your only copy of library on iTunes. Beside, ensure that ‘Enable Disk Use’ is selected.
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer, the iPod should be automatically detected as a portable hard drive.
Click on the iPod icon or the iPod portable hard drive letter to open the contents of the drive.
If you don’t see a folder called “iPod Control”, it’s hidden and invisible. To unhidden it so that it’s visible, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”
Open the “iPod Control” folder, and then the Music folder.
The Music folder contains the iPod’s music and videos, divided into folders. Copy the library to local computer hard drive’s My Music folder.
The files copied have unintelligible four-letter file names. To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags, add the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.
Rename the file if necessary.
Beside above manual ways to copy and transfer song library from iPod to computer, or import into iTunes, there are several third party program or more commonly called iPod Manager that has the iPod copying function such as SharePod (freeware) or PodPlus (shareware).
Similarly, in Macintosh running MacOS X or MacOS 9, it’s harder to show hidden files and folders. So these third party utilities with iPod copying will be useful to transfer files and music from iPod to PC’s hard disk and iTunes library.
For MacOS X, try Broken Helix and Rob’s iPod Exporter. For MacOS 9, try escapePod and iProber. Other iPod Manager or iPod song transfer utility for Mac include Senuti, iPodRid, iPod.iTunes and PodWorks. For Linux, try GUIPod. PodUtil will be able to works on both Windows and Mac platform.
The transferred music will be playable without any restrictions if the songs are ripped from CDs. If the songs or videos are bought from the iTunes music store, they will play in iTunes after you have “authorize” the computer. To authorize, try playing a purchased file. It will prompt you for your iTunes username and password. Up to five computers can be authorized at any one time.
you can make it and all you need is a three party utility which i recommend Aniosoft ibackup. It enables you to transfer iPod’s music and other content to any storage device and iTunes as well. And both the backup in the storage device can be recovered and restored with no any change and no any risk.And the data in the iTunes is quite in accord with the iPod’s data including its playlists,rating and etc.
So in your case,you can make a music transfer from your iPod to the iTunes in your computer with this tool and also make a backup for the ipod’s content somewhere in your computer as well. There is a note that needs your attention,you have to turn off the auto sync of the iTunes before you can make this transfer.
for your convenience,i’ll add the links here:

good luck to you.
I only know iDump is free. But it does not support iPod Touch.
I personally used Tansee iPod Transfer http://www.gutensoft.com/Utilities/Tanse…
Many of my friends are using it for its easy and safe transfer.
More importantly, it won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod Touch. And all song names are preserved. This is quite a special feature it ensures. It needs a small fee, but I think it’s worth it.
Good luck!
I download this program to help me move music from ipod to computer.It works well and very easy to use. You can have a try.

Best luck.
