How to Extract Music from iPod iPhone iPad to Computer

Question: Is there a way to extract music from iPod to a computer? My computer crashed; lost all the songs, it's lucky I had on iTunes for my iPod. Is it possible to take all those songs from the iPod back into the computer? If I install iTunes, it will ask to update and connect to iPod, I'm afraid that it will erase what iPod already have.
