Chapter 3 Setting Up iPod shuffle 17
You can sync audiobooks when you sync music. Audiobooks appear in the list of
selected playlists. You can choose to sync all or none of the audiobooks in your iTunes
library.
5 Click Apply.
The update begins automatically.
If “Sync only checked songs” is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items
that are checked in your Music and other libraries.
Syncing Podcasts Automatically
The settings for adding podcasts to iPod shuffle are unrelated to the settings for
adding songs. Podcast settings don’t affect song settings, and vice versa. You can set
iTunes to automatically sync all podcasts or selected podcasts, or you can add podcasts
to iPod shuffle manually. You can’t sync video podcasts to iPod shuffle.
To set iTunes to update the podcasts on iPod shuffle automatically:
1 Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, and then click the Podcasts tab.
3 Select “Sync ... episodes of” and choose the number of episodes you want from the
pop-up menu.
4 Select “All podcasts,” or “Selected podcasts.” If you click “Selected podcasts,” also select
the podcasts that you want to sync.
5 Click Apply.
When you set iTunes to sync podcasts automatically, iPod shuffle is updated each time
you connect it to your computer.
Managing iPod shuffle Manually
Setting iTunes to let you manage iPod shuffle manually gives you the most flexibility
for managing music and other content on iPod shuffle. You can add and remove
individual songs, playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks. You can add music and other
audio content from multiple computers to iPod shuffle without erasing items already
on iPod shuffle.
To set iTunes to let you manage audio content on iPod shuffle manually:
1 In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices, and then click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Manually manage music.”
3 Click Apply.
When you manage iPod shuffle manually, you must always eject iPod shuffle from
iTunes before you disconnect it.
To add a song or other item to iPod shuffle:
1 Click Music or another Library item in iTunes.
