Adding podcasts to iPod classic

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

Set iTunes to update the podcasts on iPod classic automatically:

1In iTunes, select iPod classic in the device list and click Podcasts.

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

3Select the podcasts, episodes, and playlists you want, and set your sync options.

4Click Apply.

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

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

Adding video podcasts to iPod classic

You add video podcasts to iPod classic the same way you add other podcasts (see Adding podcasts to iPod classic on page 21). If a podcast has video, the video plays when you choose it from the Podcasts menu.
