And for the long term, it is best to have all of your songs stored in the computer's iTunes library, because your iPod can become corrupted (and require a Restore), and it can also get lost or broken. Īgain, this may or may not work, depending you how the iPod is currently set up.
Alternately, instead of dragging and dropping, right-click song or selection and Add to Playlist ->. You can do this with more than one song selected on the list, such as all songs from an album. From your music library, click-hold-drag a song you want to the sidebar and drop it on your iPod. A sidebar appears along left side, with your iPod listed under Devices. Click Playlists near middle of horizontal bar. To try this, in iTunes, show your music library (click the Music button near left end of horizontal bar). If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer music," you should get some useful links.ĭepending on how the iPod is currently set up, you may be able to manually add to the songs that are currently on the iPod. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. I use this method with my iPod nano, except I have several playlists (not just one) that I sync to my iPod.īy design, iTunes syncing is typically in one direction only, from the iTunes library on computer to iPod, with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store (which you can also re-download from the iTunes Store at no cost). The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, update that iPod Songs playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your selection to the iPod. You can select other items on those lists, if desired. Below that, under Playlists, find and select (checkmark) that iPod Songs playlists that you create earlier. Below that, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, album, and genres. NOTE: Any songs on iPod that are not on your iTunes library (on the computer) will be lost.Īt the top, checkmark the box for Sync Music. To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown. Along the left side (in the sidebar), under Settings. Then, select the iPod in iTunes (click its device button on the horizontal bar) to show its settings screen in iTunes window. If you already have a "favorites" playlist, you can use it. You can call this playlists iPod Songs (or whatever you want). First, you need to create a new playlist in your iTunes library, and add all the songs you want on the iPod to that playlist. I'll describe the method that automatically syncs the iPod to a playlist in your iTunes library. There are several ways to load songs on an iPod, including automatic syncing and manual loading. The current version of iTunes may look different, so old instructions can be confusing.
