I presume you have a 1st or 2nd Generation iPod which doesn't have the long docking port on the bottom.  It appears only 3G & 4G players have USB connectivity.

ok any way of connecting it to my pc to take some music off

Why not just buy a firewire port card for your pc?

You can get one for around 30 quid here:
