Adding music to iPod shue
After your music is imported and organized in iTunes, you can easily add it to iPod shue.
To manage how songs and other audio content are added to iPod shue from your computer,
you connect iPod shue to your computer, and then use iTunes preferences to choose
iPod shue settings.
Adding content automatically or manually
You can set iTunes to add music to iPod shue in two ways:
Automatically syncing: When you connect iPod shue to your computer, iPod shue 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 shue, iTunes uses up to four Genius Mixes created
from your iTunes library to ll iPod shue. 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 shue.
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 shue, you can drag individual songs
and playlists to iPod shue, and delete individual songs and playlists from iPod shue. Using
this option, you can add songs from more than one computer without erasing songs from
iPod shue. When you manage music manually, you must always eject iPod shue from
iTunes before you disconnect it. See Managing iPod shue manually on page 15.
Syncing music automatically
By default, iPod shue 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 shue—you just connect
iPod shue 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 shue, they’re synced with iPod shue as space allows. If you
deleted songs from iTunes, they’re removed from iPod shue.
