I had the same trouble. I am sure there is an easier way but this is the way i did it.

I purchased a memory stick (500mb) i think it cost me about �30.00, they will probably be a little cheaper now, or a lot bigger for the same price.

I saved everything to the USB Memory stick then plugged it into the new computer and dragged all the contents into my music.

Still a ball ache i grant you but works none the less.

You can use the iPod as a Portable HDD (Hard disk drive)

This means it can store files, and folders, just like your computer.

In iTunes, set your iPod into Disk Mode, an icon for the iPod will appear on your desktop (Mac) or in your My Computer folder (Windows). Drag everything you wish to copy (in this case, your My Music folder if using Windows, or your iTunes folder on a Mac) onto the iPod.

Disconnect the iPod, connect it to the new computer, set it into Disk Mode again, drag My Music off the iPod. Set it OFF Disk Mode, and voila, all your music is on the new computer.

Why spend money on tiny USB memory sticks when your iPod's memory is like 100x larger!

josh is right; just use your iPod itself!

yamipod is a program that lets you transfer your music from the iPod to the new computer, which you may find easier than the manual way as josh suggests.
