Oh I know what you mean now, do you have it pinned to the taskbar? If you do then unpin it and that might solve the problem.

If the songs are in your itunes it will remove them and put them back in while syncing. If they aren't already on your computer then there is nothing that can be done I'm afraid.

if you copy the actual song file and then add it to itunes on the other comp then it should work fine.

I converted a video to MP4 format and copied it onto the Itunes window on my comp but there it stays, it doesn't sync to the IPod touch.
