ipod to new laptop

[Knipples]

My friends laptop died, so father Christmas has brung her a new one. Shes got an ipod full of songs, she wants to put on the new laptop, but has been told by her brother that this is not possible, can someone clarify if this is true, and if she is able to do it, how.

The old laptop is extinct so its highly unlikely that it can be booted up long
enough to get the songs onto a memory stick or something.

Heeeeellllllp!
