I had TouchCopy recommended to me for that on Apple support communities, worked really well.

open up itunes and the music library tab then drag and drop your saved music into itunes the music will take a little while to load but after it does you will be able to sync it to the ipod

Assuming you have iTunes installed....

Connect iPod, when iTunes opens, you can go to File ---> Add File to Library (or press Ctrl+O), find the music file on your harddrive, highlight, and click ok. You can then manage the id3 tags (Genre, Artist, etc) by right-clicking on the song, and selecting "Get Info"

Hope this helps!
