Don't let this fool you. You can't use an iPod to sync all the music on two systems. It will only sync music you have bought on the iTunes Store. Anything you ripped yourself or downloaded from other sources will not be copied to the second system. However, you might be able to take advantage of the new backup to disk feautre. This allows for incrimental backups, so you could just burn the new files to an RW disk and stick that in your second system. Not as elegant as just plugging in an iPod and letting iTunes do all the work for you, but it's probably the best we're going to get from Apple.

Just copy the "Music" folder onto your iPod, then back to the other computer.
However, you cannot easily synchronize any changes you make to either system back to the other (like playlists) and the computer will NOT warn you if you connect the iPod to computer B after synching to computer A.

Like I said earlier, you can only sync songs purchased on the iTunes store. Other songs will not sync.
