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.

I can't believe the Zune would do that! Its beyond logic!! What they want you to do is have a portable device for your music but also have a non-portable copy?? The Sony syncs perfectly and the function is only 'addition'. If you want to delete, you have to delete from the player(but it has to be connected to your PC, you cannot delete from the player on its own). It also does not overwrite if you are trying to add a file that is already there. Once the player is connected to the PC and Windows Media Player is opened, there is a separate area where you drag the files that you want synced. I guess that is what prevents it from functioning like the Zune.

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device. Hope this Helps. Brian

How ever you can drop and drag your music. I buy tunes from amazon then export them to windows where I can sync the Sandisk and drag the music I want to it.

When you plug the mp3 player into a usb port, the pc should bring up a window showing all the files on the mp3 player. It is treated like a disk drive and will look similar to when you plug a flash device into a usb port. You can then copy your mp3 files from your computer to the folder that comes up that represents your MP3 player by right clicking an mp3 file and choosing copy and then right clicking your mp3 player and choosing paste. Its that simple. However, I have never messed with creating folders on mine and I doubt that it is a supported function of the player but I suppose you could experiment with that.

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

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.

The best way to see if this is the HDD that is in your ipod is to open your ipod and see what type of HDD is in it. That is what I did to prevent ordering the incorrect HDD. Hope this helps.

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?

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.

I assume that you've downloaded in iTunes. In that case, simply delete the song in iTunes, then the song will be deleted from your iPod the next time that you sync it.

Hi, this MP3, only take mp3 format, if you downloaded music from itunes make sure it is mp3 format only, once downloaded to your computer, then plug your mp3 into the usb of your pc, then drag and drop your music. I also had problems with this item, but I figure it out and finally made it work. Hope this help. thanks for asking

When you hook this up to a PC it shows up as another hard drive in the my computer file. I dont think you download the info you drag and drop or copy whatever is on the zip disks to your system. You can view everything on the disks and do whatever you need to. Erase, copy edit etc. You also dont have to move the files to your PC to work on them or edit them . You are asking about using this with a PC and not a Apple PC I am assuming. There are 3 versions .

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

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
