downloading songs in to Ipod

[mkol]

Hi Guys and Girls,

I have 4th Generation 8gig Ipod which I hardly use. I hardly use it because It's a pain that one can only download songs via Itunes and update files on the Ipod. I hate it more due to the fact that when I download something new and if I want to put it in my Ipod than It has to be via Itunes.

Well I recently did a format and installed everything back on including Itunes on my pc and now when plug my Ipod, Itune says the ipod has be Synchronization with another Itune library so cannot use with current Itune library something like that.

Well how the hell do you get round this and what is the easy way to update songs in the iPOD manually like pick and choose.

There should be a check box on the main page that comes up when you connect the iPod. Its the Summary page, and depending on your nano since it being older, you should still have the "Manually manage music and video" checkbox. Only thing is, once you do it, your iPod has to be reformatted and the new settings have to be applied so when you add music to it and if you connect it to another computer or "library" then youll be able to drag music over to sync with it and nothing will change.

But in order to do that, like i said it would whipe your iPod to apply the settings, so to backup all your old music, use http://www.copytrans.net/. Works great. Just copy your music from your nano to your computer, do the manually manage thing like I said, and after that add all your old music or add whatever you wish and now you can go around to friends houses and copy music off itunes and it works perfect.

If you hate using iTunes use foobar2000 + foo_pod. Best light combination ever. But yeah I use my 160gig classic to do this, and works well. Have copied music from 8 different computers.

Sounds good because it installs on the iPod but i would rather go free then paid.
