Play the files from the ipod through itunes.

The only way to get music onto the iPod (in such a way that you can play it on the iPod) is to use iTunes to transfer it from the computer via the firewire port. If you have the iPod in "hard drive" mode you can transfer sound files to the iPod, but it won't be able to play them.

I don't think you can play them back from iTunes unless they're in the iTunes library on your hard drive, but I may be wrong about that.

OK, I'm wrong, you can play your iPod tunes using iTunes. Go here to learn how.
