Transferring Songs and Playlists to iPod mini Automatically

By default, iPod mini updates automatically when you connect it to your computer.

iTunes updates the iPod mini music library to match the songs and playlists in your

computer’s music library, transferring new songs to iPod mini and deleting songs from

iPod mini that aren’t in your music library.

You can set iPod mini to transfer only certain songs in the iTunes library. This is useful if

you have more music on your computer than will fit on your iPod mini.

To update iPod mini with only certain songs:

1

In iTunes, check the boxes next to songs you want to transfer (by default, all songs are

checked).

2

Select iPod mini in the iTunes Source list and click the Options button.
