Can I re-establish all my song library from an iPod or iPhone to a new computer?

Can I re-establish all my song library from an iPod or iPhone to a new computer?

I think usually, one iTunes app is associated with an iPod or iPhone, but let's say I got a new computer or installed Windows 7, and now I moved the old computer to the basement, or don't want to boot up the old Windows Vista, or even if that partition is lost, in that case: can I re-establish my song library using the iPod or iPhone that I have?

"Of course you can. I use iDump for this purpose. iDump can copy all of your MP3s from your iPod to your PC.

iDump will allow you transfer your
songs off your iPod to a PC, iDump
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 your 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.

Apparently iDump only works for iPods though, and not iPhones.

If you plan to use both, SharePod is probably a better option for you since it now works with iPhones:

Change
Add and remove music, videos,
playlists and artwork on your iPod.

Backup
Backup all those tracks you
just can't lose onto your computer.
Import them automatically into your
iTunes library.

Share
SharePod can run straight from
the iPod itself, so you can use it at
work, school, home - wherever you and
your iPod are.

iDump and SharePod are both freeware."
