Replying to IPOD help

ok theres 2 things
one, my ipod is fucked up, the right speaker doesnt work, weather its the headphones, or when im listenen to it in my car with a tape deck, all the right speakers on the car dont work, if i fiddle around with the jack, it sometimes work, but it wont stay. Think it could be fixed? or do i just have to get a new one

and two, I used to know how, but i forgot... How do you transfer songs from your ipod, onto your computer, cus i get most of my songs from my friends computers, and i want to put them all on my laptop before i leave for school

any help would be great, thanks ns
