Downloading Music and Podcasts to iPod nano

After your music is imported and organized in iTunes, you can easily download it to iPod nano.

To set how music is downloaded from your computer to your iPod nano, you connect iPod nano to your computer, and then use the controls in iTunes to change iPod nano settings.

You can set iTunes to download music to your iPod nano in three ways:

ÂAutomatically update all songs and playlists: When you connect iPod nano, it is automatically updated to match the songs and other items in the iTunes library. Any other songs on iPod nano are deleted.

ÂAutomatically update selected playlists: When you connect iPod nano, it is automatically updated to match the songs in playlists you select in iTunes.

ÂManually update iPod nano: When you connect iPod nano, you can drag songs and playlists individually to iPod nano, and delete songs and playlists individually from iPod nano. Using this option, you can download songs from more than one computer without erasing songs from iPod nano. When you manage songs yourself, you must manually eject iPod nano from iTunes before you can disconnect it.

Updating iPod nano Automatically

By default, iPod nano is set to update automatically with all songs and playlists when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to download music to your iPod nano. You just connect iPod nano to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any songs to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod nano, they are downloaded to iPod nano. If you deleted songs from iTunes, they are deleted from iPod nano.
