Alternatively, you can use third-party software like iExplorer or CopyTrans Manager to back up your iPod songs and videos to your computer. These programs allow you to transfer music and videos from your iPod to your computer without using iTunes. Simply download and install the software, connect your iPod to your computer, and follow the instructions provided by the program to back up your media files.

Note that some songs and videos on your iPod may be protected by digital rights management (DRM) and cannot be transferred to your computer using either iTunes or third-party software.
