Does anyone know how the heck to load songs onto an ipod? The songs show up on the menu of the computer but they don't show up on the playlist on the ipod. Any advice??

You need to import the songs into iTunes. Then drag and drop into your iPod.

Put songs on itunes

Hook up Ipod'

Computer should recognize ipod

Little ipod will show up in the left vertical menu on itunes

right click little ipod


Click Update

Or


Set it to Auto-update


If auto anytime u hook ipod to computer when it is on it will update if needed..


I havn't updated mine in like a year , Only thing that may not be right is "right" clicking the ipod..the newer versions of Itunes may have the button else where.


~~should be no need to drag an drop songs..all though if they are mp3 and you get the computer to recongize the ipod as a mass media storage device in stead of you Ipods name then you can just drag and drop the files from you documents onto the ipod,but just do it through Itunes.

Install iTunes.

Then read the directions.

I was saying drag and drop in iTunes. Its the only way to put songs on an iPod.

not true.

i use winamp exclusively.

I've never dragged and dropped anything in iTunes. I just update my library and then update my ipod and it moves the songs for me.

Although I can (just barely) fit my entire library on my iPod. I think I have about 150mb out of 20gb free. Time to buy a 30GB hd for my ipod :)

Thanks all. The itunes bit was the key I was looking for. My nephew got this for Christmas, but threw away everything with wrapping paper. We've got it going now.

Yes, different users on the computer.

Yes, different users on the computer.
I tryed that but I cant figure out how to load Itunes on one user and not have it come up on the other.

Link for winamp? is it free?

www.winamp.com

Its a music player that has a vast array of add-ons available. The basic program is pretty simple but its capabilities are huge. Its been around for a long time now.

You'd need to download the program and then the iPod add-on.

[ahellers]

looking at this page http://www.winamp.com/player/
the version that I want (to be able to rip music) has to be paid for. is that right?

Try manualy updating each ipod with the songs you want...

If not then use the seperate accounts and store your music in two different folders and not the shared folder.

From there import what you want into one itunes and what you want into the other iTunes and then just update the ipods on whatever account has the songs you want.
