I found a way to make an ipod not sync on the computer, but you can open it [like a flash drive] and retreive the files.

It worked for my iPod Classic, I have no idea about a Touch...

In iTunes, shut off the 'automatic sync' feature. [if it is not already off]
Plug in the iPod, without iTunes open.
If you have windows [idk if it works with a Mac], a screen should come up, and if you scroll there are folders to open.
keep clicking around [I forget exactly how I got to the point I did, this was in August], and eventually a folder with all your music should open up.
You may or may not have a hell of a time trying to rename everything, I think my process went rather smoothly actually.

This was a lifesaver for me, all my demos and stuff was erased by the idiot at GeekSquad, so I messed around with my iPod for a day or so, and eventually was able to open the device like a flashdrive.

I hope this information helps you. I'm sorry if I wasted your time by posting it, but I found this method to be rather helpful and useful when my library was destroyed.
