18 Chapter 2 Lesson 2: Transferring Music to iPod
Transferring Music to iPod
By default, iPod is set to update automatically with all songs and playlists when you
connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to transfer music to your iPod. You
just connect iPod to your computer, let it add songs automatically, then disconnect it
and go.
While music is being transferred from your computer to iPod, the iTunes status window
shows progress, and the iPod icon in the Source list flashes red.
When the transfer is complete, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”
If there is more music in your iTunes library than can fit on your iPod, a dialog appears
asking if you want iTunes to choose which songs to transfer. You can also set iTunes to
let you update iPod manually, so you can drag individual songs to iPod and delete
individual songs from iPod, or you can set iTunes to update iPod automatically with
only selected songs or playlists.
To learn these ways of transferring music to iPod, see “Lesson 5:
Managing Music on iPod” on page 27.
