im thinking of buying a used ipod classic, the seller says it has a bit of old music and movies on it that he used. is there anyway that i can just add my music and movies to it, or do i have to erase it all and start from scratch?

Legally you are not allowed to keep the music on the iPod as you do not own the CD's that it was loaded from or did not buy the music from the iTunes store.
If you connect the iPod to your computer you will be told that it is synced to another computer, if you tell it to sync to your computer it will erase the contents of the iPod.
If you tell it to not sync then you will have to manually manage your music all the time.
Take your choice

legally, no.
There are utilities you can use to transfer music from an iPod to a computer - such as after a computer crash - Senuti and iPodDisk are two free ones, but there are others (search this forum).
