Hello,
You are right! If you connect your Ipod then it will sync from your computer to Ipod. At last, you will lose all your music files on your iPod.

Wanting to restore music from iPod to laptop, please try to use iPod to computer Transfer. In addition to restoring music, it can restore and backup videos, photos, podcasts, etc from iPod.
