the playlist.

Transferring Songs and Playlists to iPod Automatically

By default, iPod updates automatically when you connect it to your computer. iTunes

updates the iPod music library to match the songs and playlists in your computer’s

music library, transferring new songs to iPod and deleting songs from iPod that aren’t

in your music library.

You can set iPod to transfer only certain songs in the iTunes library Source list. This is

useful if you have more music on your computer than will fit on your iPod.

To update iPod with only certain songs:

1

In iTunes, check the boxes next to songs you want to transfer (by default, all songs are

checked).

2

Select iPod in the iTunes Source list and click the Options button.
