Ja, I've got an iPod 160 Gigabyte... thing.

I've got my music on the iPod itself.
I go to another computer and plug my iPod into it.
All I want to do is listen to the music on the iPod - I don't want to transfer the music files over to the other computer.
I simply want to access my iPod in order to play the files through the laptop's speakers.
The "Synchronizing" symbol pops up on my iPod.
I hastily tear the iPod out, because I suddenly have this question:

When it begins synchronizing with another computer, will it erase all my music? (Since the laptop has no media on it)

and...

Can I play the music on my iPod through the laptop?



Thanks.


EDIT:

HA! I conquer you iPod!

I found a way to make it not enter the synchronization stage, thereby making iTunes never automatically start or load/install itself.

Topic can be locked/deleted/made a playground for spam now.

Rawr, Nom, you are a genius.

I like to not use iTunes and sync my iPod up to Winamp instead. It's a much better program, imo.

Of course this is assuming you don't buy from iTunes, which I have no idea why people would pay money for MP3 files (they are the worst compression). You'd rather go buy an CD that has uncompressed tracks on it.

You don't buy mp3s from itunes, you buy m4ps!
and sometimes people give them to you for free, so you take them 8)

I know lots of places you can get them for free.

iTunes is the devil.
