The settings for adding podcasts to iPod shuffle are unrelated to the settings for adding songs. Podcast settings don’t affect song settings, and vice versa. You can set iTunes to automatically sync all or selected podcasts, or you can add podcasts to iPod shuffle manually.

1In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, then click Podcasts.

2 In the Podcasts pane, select “Sync Podcasts.”

3 Select the podcasts, episodes, and playlists you want, then set your sync options. 4 Click Apply.

When you set iTunes to sync podcasts automatically, iPod shuffle is updated each time you connect it to your computer.

If “Sync only checked songs” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items that are checked.

Adding iTunes U collections to iPod shuffle

iTunes U is a part of the iTunes Store that features free lectures, language lessons, audiobooks, and more, which you can download and sync to iPod shuffle.

Adding audiobooks to iPod shuffle

You can purchase and download audiobooks from the iTunes Store or audible.com, or import audiobooks from CDs, and listen to them on iPod shuffle.
