If you connect iPod classic to a different computer and it’s set to sync music
automatically, iTunes prompts you before syncing any music. If you click Yes, the songs
and other audio files already on iPod classic will be erased and replaced with songs and
other audio files on the computer iPod classic is connected to. For more information
about adding music to iPod classic and using iPod classic with more than one
computer, see Chapter 2, “Music Features,” on page 17.
