How do I transfer my music from itunes if my old computer is completely gone?

Question

My old computer is completely gone and I had only backed up a portion of my music. What would happen if I just hooked up my ipod to my new computer? Will it wipe out all the music on it now?

you will need to have a 3rd party tool to help you copy songs in your ipod to computer as itunes blocks the ipod-to-computer transfer, here is a review of top 5 ipod  copying softwares(windows/mac): http://www.ipodtocomputer.net
