Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

no, just make sure you leave the song in your itunes playlist (and stop it deleting automatically in your options settings).it will have a little exclamation point next to it but as long as you dont actually delete it from the playlist it wont delete it from your ipod. I dont have space to hold all the music on my ipod on my pc so i did exactly this.

shouldn't be a problem..... however, you will need to install iTunes in your computer first .... then you can just sync your music (iTunes library) into your iPod

Hi Download songs from your PC/laptop etc.or where ever you can to your usbstick/pen drive. Its not vital but the most important thing is the USB stick or Pen drive must be a 2GB one, not more than that. Otherwise it won't work on this system.Thanks.Ajay

There's this program called Music Rescue. It might be just for Mac, but the free version lets you rip songs and videos off of your iPod onto your computer. But there's a catch, every 50 songs you have to press OK to continue to rip the songs off. But you can put a stapler on your enter key and walk away.

I've never understood those services... sure they can put the music on your iPod for you, but what happens when you have to restore your iPod and you don't have all of that music back-up in iTunes on your computer. Do you have to pay someone to do it all over again?

You can delete it when the device is docked. Just open the MUSIC folder and delete the file you no longer want. A 'My computer' type search would also allow you to find the file and delete it again with the device being docked

On Windows, you can set up separate user accounts. These separate user accounts use different directories in iTunes, so each of you will have your own song list without each other's music to sync your iPod to.

Yes to all of your questions. To use multiple iPods on your computer, just set up different playlists for each iPod (especially for the nano) and set the particular iPod to sync ONLY with that playlist. You can only do this while the iPod is connected to the computer, but it makes syncing very easy and managable. I have 3 iPods (3rd Generation 40 GB, iPod mini 4GB and the new 5th Gen 80GB video ipod. Only my new video iPod syncs with my entire database and my 3G and mini sync only with their specific playlists. You can also manage separate playlists within these playlists as well!

No, the iPod/USB port reads only from a connected iPod or from a connected USB device, but not from a PC or hard drive (HDD). Here is the information from the changer's manual: &#9632;Supported iPod models *iPod classic (including 120GB model) *iPod nano (2nd, 3rd and 4th generations) *iPod touch (1st and 2nd generations) (as of April 2009) &#9632;Supported USB devices This unit supports USB mass storage class devices (e.g., flash memories, card readers or portable audio players) that use FAT16 or FAT32 format. * Some devices may not work properly even if they meet the requirements. * This unit does not support encrypted USB memory devices. * Do not connect devices other than USB mass storage class devices: USB chargers, USB hubs, PCs, external HDD, etc. * When you insert two or more memory cards at the same time into a card reader connected to the iPod/USB port on this unit, only one of the memory cards is recognized. * Yamaha and suppliers accepts no liability for the loss of data saved on the USB devices connected to this unit.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver. Hope this helps

Absolutely. I leave my iPod in for weeks/months at a time. In fact, the only time I take it out is to connect it to my PC to load new songs.

You must connect to a computer via usb (either Mac or Windows) to manage your music files. Once connected, you can use any file manager program to add/delete entire folders (such as all the albums by a particular artist) or specific (song) files. Before disconnecting from the computer be sure to "eject' or disconnect the device prior to pulling the USB cable. Using a computer makes it very simple to manage all your content.
