Transferring songs to iPod

By default, iTunes is set to update iPod automatically. When you connect iPod to your computer, iTunes updates the iPod music library to match the songs in the iTunes library, transferring new songs to iPod and erasing songs that aren't in the iTunes library.

To transfer music manually, connect iPod to your computer and open iTunes. Select iPod in the iTunes source list and click the Options button. Then select "Manually manage songs and playlists." Now you can drag individual songs and playlists from iTunes to iPod to transfer them.

You can also set iTunes to automatically update iPod with selected songs or playlists only. This is useful if you only want to update iPod with a portion of your music library.

You can't transfer songs from iPod to iTunes.
