using an Explorer window you’ll find that you won’t be able
to play them on your iPod.
The following steps will show you how to use your iPod as a
storage drive:
 Connect your iPod to the computer. If iTunes doesn’t
open automatically, open it manually by clicking on it.
 Set your iTunes preferences. Find the edit menu on
the Windows toolbar. Choose preferences. If you are
using a Mac you can go directly to the iTunes menu to
choose preferences. For both a PC and Mac, click on
the iPod button.
 Choose the enable disk use or manually manage songs
and playlists option (do this for every iPod model
except the iPod shuffle). Both of these options will let
you use your iPod as a drive. If you choose manually
manage songs and playlists you won’t automatically
update your iPod with the songs that you have in your
iTunes library. If you are going to be automatically
updating your iPod with new songs, you will want to
use the enable disk use option instead.
 For the iPod Shuffle. Click on enable disk use. Adjust
the storage allocation slider to the exact amount that
you want to be used by your audio files and the
amount that you want to be used by your data files.
