Adding music to iPod shue
After your music is imported and organized in iTunes, you can easily add it to iPod shue.
To manage how songs and other audio content are added to iPod shue from your computer,
you connect iPod shue to your computer, and then use iTunes preferences to choose
iPod shue settings.
Adding content automatically or manually
You can set iTunes to add music to iPod shue in two ways:
•
Automatically syncing: When you connect iPod shue to your computer, iPod shue is
automatically updated to match the songs and other items in your iTunes library. If Genius
is turned on the rst time you sync iPod shue, iTunes uses up to four Genius Mixes created
from your iTunes library to ll iPod shue. If any free space remains, iTunes syncs additional
songs from your iTunes library. If Genius isn’t turned on, iTunes syncs songs and playlists from
your iTunes library to ll iPod shue.
Later, you can modify automatic syncing options to include selected playlists, artists, albums,
and genres. You can also automatically sync other audio, including podcasts, audiobooks, and
iTunes U collections. See the following sections for more information.
•
Manually managing music: When you connect iPod shue, you can drag individual songs
and playlists to iPod shue, and delete individual songs and playlists from iPod shue. Using
this option, you can add songs from more than one computer without erasing songs from
iPod shue. When you manage music manually, you must always eject iPod shue from
iTunes before you disconnect it. See Managing iPod shue manually on page 15.
Syncing music automatically
By default, iPod shue is set to sync all songs and playlists when you connect it to your
computer. This is the simplest way to add audio content to iPod shue—you just connect
iPod shue to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, audio podcasts, and iTunes U
collections automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any songs to iTunes since
the last time you connected iPod shue, they’re synced with iPod shue as space allows. If you
deleted songs from iTunes, they’re removed from iPod shue.
