I cannot sync my Ipod Touch because my laptop is broken and I dont want to lose all my music.. please read!!?

My laptop is totally screwed up and is completely unusable. My problem is I have this expensive *** Ipod Touch that i cant sync anymore because I dont want to lose all my music. My plan was to get a new computer before to long and I was told I could transfer all the information stored on my "hard drive" i guess from the old computer to the new computer.. In the mean while i just havent been able to sync my ipod or get any songs onto it except from itunes store when im connected by wifi.. Well now i seem to be screwed unless someone can help me. Omg lol.. The other day the ipod was acting all screwy when i was on the internet browser so i resetted it i guess by holding the 2 ons until it shuts off... waited a few minutes and held the power on until the apple icon pops up.. Now normally u wait a minute or two and the apple icon goes away and your screensaver comes on along with the slide unlock feature to go to the main "desktop" i guess u call it.. Nope.. This time i am showed icons basically telling me that i need to sync my ipod to my computer.. Im guessing for an ipod update. It shows a disc with a blue music note on top of it and it says "iTunes" directly under this with an arrow pointing from an image of my "sync" cable to the itunes, blue music note, disc emblems... Ok so what are my options here?? I definately am not losing my songs so anything that has to do with that is out the window.. Way too much time invested in getting all that music.. Like is there some way i can transfer my songs from my ipod to another computer or can i bring up my itunes with all my songs already on it on another computer? This is a really big screw up on apple's part.. I mean with all their money and know how how in the heck did they mess this one up?
