We have a mac we use to download stuff on his shuffle and my MP3 player, but I am not sure how any of it works. You have quite an extensive tech background in this stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075801.post-18074238796870921022008-02-29T00:14:00.000-08:002008-02-29T00:14:00.000-08:00Hi The Sick Chick...Thanks for suggesting the play...Hi The Sick Chick...<BR/>Thanks for suggesting the playlist!

Mine does not pull songs from my computer's music files. I wonder if it is something in the preferences in itunes that you can tell it not to do that?<BR/><BR/>I'm not technical at all (I'm sure the above paragraph did not give that away at all...). I hope you find someone who can help you!! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075801.post-74740397769181419332008-02-28T11:44:00.000-08:002008-02-28T11:44:00.000-08:00I'm assuming that because you talk of WinAmp, that...I'm assuming that because you talk of WinAmp, that you are usually dealing with a Windows-based machine. <BR/><BR/>So far, your ipod doing exactly what it is meant to do in those situations :) The best way to get to know it is to plug it in and then go into iTunes and check out all of the settings related to the ipod in the preferences. I don't have windows so I don't know how much it differs from the Mac version but it is fairly straightforward if you just read all of the options.<BR/><BR/>As to whether you can delete things out of iTunes but not off your drive, it should ask you if you want to delete the file or just remove the song when you hit delete. I am sure the terminology will be different there (on a Mac is asks if you want to move the file to the trash). If it doesn't ask at all it's just removing it from the playlist or from iTunes (you can only remove from iTunes altogether in a main window (Music/Podcasts, etc NOT a playlist or by some fancy deleting keystrokes that will probably be different on a windows machine).<BR/><BR/>Itunes may or may not be the "keeper" of all of your music collection, depend on whether you tell it to keep your music organized or not.<BR/><BR/>Finally, to just put a few songs on the ipod you make a playlist and then in the ipod settings tell it to sync only that playlist (by unchecking anything else).<BR/><BR/>But really, I think if you just go digging around in the preferences (options, whatever you call it on a windows machine these days, dunno) you should be able to work things out. But the ipod has to be plugged in to the computer else you won't get the ipod settings. (Each ipod has different available options so it won't know what to offer you unless it can see the device.)The Sick Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01466354344248534122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075801.post-74661192893570948082008-02-27T15:39:00.000-08:002008-02-27T15:39:00.000-08:00I am no good with tech stuff.

I am here reading and feeling for you because I don't understand any of these stuff.<BR/><BR/>My son asked for an Ipod and I didn't even know what the heck it was. I do now but I didn't when he asked for it..lol..<BR/><BR/>Did you start your lufa's yet? I just started to sprout them (well just got them wet today..lol..) We will see how they turn out. <BR/><BR/>I joined a garden group so hopefully, they will be able to help me out with some of my garden issues.<BR/><BR/>Dora Renee' WilkersonDora Renee Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502624010736702600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075801.post-79513115626418195232008-02-27T10:58:00.000-08:002008-02-27T10:58:00.000-08:00Sorry, no help from this techno weenie. But I will...Sorry, no help from this techno weenie. But I will commiserate because my son was given my B-in-L's old i-pod with about 2 dozen songs on it and after almost two months of asking his dad to put new songs on it and getting the standard "Later" response, he came to me. With my standard "Don't expect miracles with me and computers, but I'll try" answer, I managed to clear all the songs off it, even the ones that he wanted to keep (oops), and got him to go through the song library and pick out some new ones. So far so good. The most predictable part comes when his father comes home and Liam says "Mom erased all of the songs -even the ones I wanted to keep!" And his father says "I would have helped if you had asked me" To which I could only look at the man and say "Don't start! Two months!"<BR/><BR/>Men!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.com
