iPod is indeed one of the best devices created by Apple ever but even it has some demerits which make it look bad. The biggest demerit of having an iPod is that you are not able to copy music from your PC to your iPod or vice versa easily using a file manager. You always have to use iTunes for that so in case you are on a PC without iTunes, you cannot put new music on your iPod.
iDump is a little utility for iPod users which will allow you to transfer your songs off your iPod to a PC. So in case you accidentally delete all the music on your PC and you have a backup on your iPod, you can copy that music back to your PC and enjoy the songs. It does come wrapped in installer but you can simply drop the .exe in the root directory on your iPod and run it from there.
Connect you iPod and run iDump and you’ll have access to all your songs, select the songs you want to transfer then pick a destination directory and how you would like your songs to be named. And then sit back and transfer all the selected songs to the PC.

The software has not been updated for long therefore it does not support the new iPod Touch and iPhone devices. However it should work normally with any previous versions of iPod.

This one is very useful for me. Whenever i connected my ipod to a new machine, iTunes deleted all the songs saying that playlist is not synced .
It is a real pain in the butt but I recently used a great program like this and it really saved my skin.
