iPod -- transferring songs from Mac format to PC format

I can't seem to find an answer fo this one. My mom is visiting and likes my iPod Shuffle. She wants one, but owns a PC -- and she wants my playlist. Is there anyway for me to give her my playlist? She has a PC. Or does that go against the licensing? I thought I read something about sharing up to four computers, but do they all have to be the same format?

Confused...

Burn your playlist to a disk, have her import it to her computer via itunes and transfer it to the iPod..

Just to add a bit of info, you can "Authorize" up to five pc's and they can be either a Windoze or Mac machine.

Yeah, I know that. But he asked about the ability to share amongst different machines.
