Apple put in this "feature" as part of its contract with the record companies. Once you pair up an iPod with its designated computer, it will retain only music that the iTunes running on that PC or Mac recognizes as being its "own".

Look online at Mac open source sites like sourceforge.net for hacks to get around this.
