[X4U] iPod/iTunes problem

[Jan Melichar]

Long story but all iTune files on my computer have passed on; Most of  
it does not matter, I have the CDs but the podcasts which I have no  
other copies of sit happily on the iPod. Idealy I would also like to  
have them in iTunes so that I could set up automatic synching as  
before (or in case the iPod gets lost) but I cannot see how to get  
the files from the iPod to anywhwere else. I can't burn them onto a  
cd, can't copy them in iTunes and accesing them via the finder only  
reveales an odd and apparently incomplete collection. I would  
appreciate some help or am I trying the impossible or missing  
something obvious.
The iPod is pre photo with wheel and buttons below screen. System etc  
all the latest version.
