More specifically:

You need to go to the original computer that you started using your ipod with (b/c theoretically that should have all the songs originally on your ipod). Connect your iPod, then click on "Edit" in the tool bar, and click Preferences on that Menu.

Once your Preferences is open, click the iPod tab, and set your ipod to manage music manually. This means that when you want to add new songs to your ipod you have to click and drag them from iTunes to your iPod. (Hold CRTL and click songs to move multiple songs at a time).

You can then connect to other iTunes libraries, and add their music. However I believe that you can only have a total of five computers "authorized" to get music from. To go to more than 5, you have deauthorize one before your iPod will work on another one. I'm not sure entirely 100% about that, so don't quote me, but it's part of Apple's effort to prevent unauthorized sharing.
