Do you accept the bet? Well, then read how to sync iPod with iTunes through the directions I am going to give you and try to transfer your favorite songs to the Apple media player. It’s a real breeze!

If you want to learn how to sync iPod with iTunes, the first step you need to take is connecting the device to your computer using the supplied cable and starting iTunes (if it does not start automatically). Then select the name of your iPod from the Devices menu at the top right and go to the Music tab.

Now, put the check mark next to the Sync music item located at the top of the screen that opens and choose whether to sync the complete iTunes library on your iPod, putting the check mark next to the item All the music library, or if choose individual albums / playlists / artists to copy to the player, putting the check mark next to the item Playlists, artists, albums and selected genres and selecting the items to be synchronized from the list below.

Finally, click on the Apply button and the procedure for copying music from the computer to the iPod will begin. From this moment on, every time you connect the iPod to the PC, iTunes will synchronize the selected items between the PC and the device (eg if you download a new song and insert it into one of the playlists you’ve chosen to sync, the song will be automatically transferred to iPod).

By default, when you sync iPod with iTunes, video clips and voice memos saved on your computer are also copied to the device. If you want to disable this feature, go back to the Music tab of iTunes, remove the checkmarks from the Include music videos and Include voice memos items and click the Apply button to save the changes.

You can also make iTunes copy all the possible songs on the iPod until the player’s storage capacity is exceeded (leaving any albums and / or playlists in the middle). Just put the check mark next to the entry Automatically fill the free space with songs, click on the Apply button, and you’re done.
