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 keep all my music on an external drive.....and I have 2 different iPods (a classic for ALL my music and videos, and a nano for certain playlists for workouts and travel)......by setting the playlists to manually sync (as suggested above) for whatever iPod is designated, you can control what goes on what, and allow each one to have a different set of music/videos on them.

When you connect to your computer, your computer should recognize the device as a "USB Device." In Windows, look in "My Computer." Once you connect, you should be able to explore the device/drive. DO NOT DELETE any of the files you find. If you are successful connecting, there will be a folder that contains .mp3 files - I was successful with adding files to that folder that were then usable. However, with all that said, the device itself is very difficult to use, especially if you are expecting it to function like an "iPod." I hope this helps.

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.

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

You have to compare de part where you connect the HardDrive to the Ipod. Is in the upper part of the photo the black part in the center. Hope It helps.

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

This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

Hi im not exactly sure what your asking if you mean can you download songs from your Icloud account onto your Ipod nano yes you can but if the songs are not from icloud then you have to transfer them onto a Itunes account. Witch is easy to do then sync up your new ipod nano 2nd gen my personal favorite i have 5 of them. And drag the songs from your itunes account into your ipod nano its easy thanks and I hope this answered your question if have anymore feel free to email me at. dee.lindsay327@gmail.com and ill do my best to explain any further questions.

If you want to delete some music, simply plug your MP3 player into your computer's USB plug-in. A pop-up window will appear, giving you options of what you would like to do with your device. Select: Open Folder to View Files. This will take you to your devices folders and it will show all the music you have on it. Now all you have to do is delete the files you want to delete. Hope this helps.

Don't need a computer....it rips by itself...but you need a computer, ipad, app to access the songs....main advantage is it rips fast, stores music in higher quality than mp3 format....won't use up a ton of memory on your computer as songs will be on different device

Most of the songs on my PC have been purchased through Napster or someplace similiar. Any music can be added to the itunes library and then in turn added to the Ipod Shuffle. They do not have to be purchased from ITUNES.

How do you delete songs on this thing? I had it for a year and I cannot delete songs. Please help!

The product info said "It automatically organizes your MP3 files into different artists, styles, genre and album" ... I didn't remember it would do that cause it took me nearly a year to decide to learn how to convert my iTunes music to play on this player. I never found a note in the manual about this and I think that the playlists are not something you can do, but rather it's an id tag on your music. Read that product info again on the page. It makes this album thing sound like a plus when now I can't get my player to just play all the music one after another. I don't think it will be an easy thing to make your own playlist with it. I've only just now thought to look for a web site for them: http://pyruselectronicswebsite.blogspot.com/ Time for me to do more research...
