You can sync audiobooks when you sync music. Audiobooks appear in the list of selected playlists. You can choose to sync all or none of the audiobooks in your iTunes library.

5Click Apply.

The update begins automatically.

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

Syncing Podcasts Automatically

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 podcasts or selected podcasts, or you can add podcasts to iPod shuffle manually. You can’t sync video podcasts to iPod shuffle.

To set iTunes to update the podcasts on iPod shuffle automatically:

1Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, and then click the Podcasts tab.

3Select “Sync ... episodes of” and choose the number of episodes you want from the pop-up menu.

4Select “All podcasts,” or “Selected podcasts.” If you click “Selected podcasts,” also select the podcasts that you want to sync.

5Click Apply.

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

Managing iPod shuffle Manually

Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod shuffle manually gives you the most flexibility for managing music and other content on iPod shuffle. You can add and remove individual songs, playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks. You can add music and other audio content from multiple computers to iPod shuffle without erasing items already on iPod shuffle.

To set iTunes to let you manage audio content on iPod shuffle manually:

1In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, and then click the Summary tab.

2In the Options section, select “Manually manage music.”

3Click Apply.

When you manage iPod shuffle manually, you must always eject iPod shuffle from iTunes before you disconnect it.

To add a song or other item to iPod shuffle:

1Click Music or another Library item in iTunes.
