How do I get music from an iPod onto my computer?

[Cardinal]

Ok so now my friend's iPod is basically frozen, the thing won't turn on, won't register on my USB ports, and that Apple logo keeps flashing on and off over and over again.

Toggle the Hold switch (set it to Hold, and then turn it off again). Press the Menu and Center buttons at the same time for about 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Hold Menu and the center button for 8 seconds and try again.

Ok, did that.

Still blinking.
