Before You Begin

To complete tasks in this lesson, you’ll need to connect iPod to your PC. To learn how to connect iPod to your PC, follow the instructions in Lesson 2 of this tutorial.

Transferring Music to iPod

To set how music is transferred from your PC to your iPod, you connect iPod to your PC, then use the controls in iTunes to change iPod settings.

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

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

Automatically update selected playlists: When you connect iPod, it is automatically updated to match the songs in playlists you select in iTunes. Any other songs on iPod are deleted.

Manually update iPod: When you connect iPod, you can drag songs and playlists individually to iPod, and delete songs and playlists individually from iPod.
