Syncing Music Automatically

By default, iPod classic is set to sync all songs and playlists when you connect it to your computer. If your iTunes library is larger than the capacity of your iPod classic, iTunes creates a playlist that fits. This is the simplest way to add music to iPod classic. You just connect iPod classic to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, videos, and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any songs to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod classic, they are synced with iPod classic. If you deleted songs from iTunes, they are removed from iPod classic.

To sync music with iPod classic:

mSimply connect iPod classic to your computer. If iPod classic is set to sync automatically, the update begins.

Important: The first time you connect iPod classic to a computer, a message asks if you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and videos are erased from iPod classic and replaced with the songs and other items from that computer. If you don’t accept, you can still add songs to iPod classic manually without erasing any of the songs already on iPod classic.

While music is being synced from your computer onto iPod classic, the iTunes status window shows progress, and you see a sync icon next to the iPod classic icon in the source list.

When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”

Syncing Music From Selected Playlists onto iPod classic

Setting iTunes to sync selected playlists to iPod classic is useful if the music in your iTunes library doesn’t all fit on iPod classic. Only the music in the playlists you select is synced to iPod classic.

To set iTunes to sync music from selected playlists onto iPod classic:

1In iTunes, select iPod classic in the source list and click the Music tab.

2Select “Sync music” and then choose “Selected playlists.”

3Select the playlists you want.

4To include music videos and display album artwork, select those options.

5Click Apply.

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