There are instructions for moving your iTunes Library to a new computer at the Apple website. However, i found that it was easier to buy a program that would transfer directly from my iPod to the Apple version of iTunes. I used a program called
iPod Access by Findley Designs for about $20 (you can find it through Google). IIRC you can bring over your metadata like play counts, as well as playlists through this method, but read the instructions carefully.
No doubt you will find others through Google as well.
I should also say that I did my iPod transfer before I bought Parallels. It may be possible to follow Apple's instructions and do the transfer using Parallels through the shared folders. I have not tried this, though.
