it's not ok, but you can do it. windows formatted iPods will work with a Mac with no problems. not so the other way around.

you will need a 3rd party hack to move music from iPods to a Mac.

when you say its not ok do you refer to file sharing? because he was on about i should hear a couple of tracks, not like steal his entire music collection, i'm not into that.

am i right in guessing i just need to take the firewire cable?

i was referring to file sharing. it's not ok, but not much can stop you.

anyway, yes, just take your FW cable. enjoy.
