[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1804106, member: 110816"] I go through this process during Christmas time to load my iPod Nano with that music so I can play it. My process when doing this for the first time is the following - Open Itunes - Choose File->Import and select the folder that contains my music - With the "Music" selected I see Library and Music Playlists on the left. I now right click below the Music Playlists and choose Create Playlist. I name it Christmas Music - I now click on Recently Added and select all of the music I just imported. Once selected, I right click and choose Add to Playlist and choose Christmas Music - I can now click on the Christmas Music playlist on the left and get the same music listed. My work of getting music into iTunes is now done. I now plug in my iPod Nano and wait for it to be detected. Once detected, I do the following to remove all the music on it: - Click on the iPod icon to select the device - Click on Music in the left sidebar and uncheck all the existing playlists - Click Sync to force it to sync nothing, thus removing all the songs. Now to just get the Christmas music on there: - On the iPod Music page where I deleted all the music, I once again click Sync music and choose the option to say selected playlist/songs only. - I select the Christmas Music playlist and wait for iTunes to tell me how much of my iPod will be filled up with music. - I click Sync and wait for the music to transfer. None of these steps are complicated or hard to follow. Truth be told, I've been using these steps with iTunes for as long as I can remember. The only change I have with my normal music habits is that instead of a static playlist, I have a smart playlist that spans my entire album. That smart playlist is set to exclude all seasonal and occasionally used music and then I've applied a number of filters like play count, rating and recently played. With these filters, every time I sync my iPod, I get a new set of songs and variety to listen to. If any of this is confusing, please specify which step and I or others will elaborate further.
