Need help with an Ipod

[Godlike]

Ok i bought this ipod from someone because it had a bunch of great songs. I already had itunes on my laptop but set to manual sync so I manualy add songs to the ipod. Now my problem is that all the songs on my ipod are not in my library because I bought the ipod used and it already had like a thousand songs on it. I want to switch all the songs from my ipod to another ipod using itunes but i hear that if I automaticaly sync my ipod with itunes it will erase everything in the ipod and just put whatever is in my library on my ipod. My question is if I uninstall itunes and re install it without any songs and sync it up with my ipod will it load ervrything up from the ipod to itunes or am I screwed? Someone please let me know.

If the songs are bought from iTunes then click on File then Transfer Purchases. If they're not from iTunes then you're screwed. :)
