I'm sure this is a very FAQ, but I can't dig up the answer right away.

I have just bought a new iPod to replace my "old" one. I have nearly 40 Gb of music on the old one, most of which is not in my iTunes library anymore -- and in any case, there's no room ofr all of it on my disk. How can I move all of the contents of the old iPod to my new one?

Sorry, where? The closest I can find in the FAQ is about copying music from iPod to computer, but that's not what I want to do: I want to copy from my old iPod to a new one, preferably WITHOUT having to go through an intermediate stage on the computer.

Ah, I didn't see that you wanted to do it directly. That will require a third-party piece of software, just like copying the music to your computer. However, at the moment all I can find is pay software, which I can't really recommend since I haven't tried them and because there is usually a free alternative. Does anyone know of a good free utility to clone an iPod?

sra -- are you on a Mac or PC?
