Yes. Several ways -- there's shareware to do it if you poke around on the
web, or, more virtuously, you can do it manually by digging into the iPod
using Windows Explorer (your iPod will show up as a hard drive if you've set
the iPod settings appropriately). You'll need to change your Windows
Explorer setting to view hidden/system files, then go to the "iPod Control"
folder, then "Music". You'll see a bunch of subdirectories starting with
"F00" and running sequentially up to some number.
Anyway, you can copy that entire "Music" directory to your hard drive and
then use iTunes to import that entire directory and set iTunes Preferences >
Advanced to "Keep iTunes Music folder organized," which will create the
folder structure (and alter filenames as well) by artist, album, and track
based on the tags in each file.
Feel free to e- me privately if you have any problems....
