Sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried searching the threads but the search isn't working

What's the best way to backup the contents of an ipod? Can I simply make a duplicate copy of the itunes folder, and restore that folder to a new computer if necessary and a new itunes installation will pick it up and everything be as normal?

Or is this even necessary? Between itunes and the ipod I guess you could say you do have a backup copy of the music. Replacing an ipod is the easy part I guess, sync itunes with a new ipod (I haven't experienced this because I'm still on my first ipod) and everything will copy to the ipod. What I'm searching for at the moment is a way to copy my ipod contents to a new computer. I've just found and have yet to try, cucusoft ipod to computer. Is this type of a solution all I need to make sure I don't lose any of my music?

thanks
