You need to change your ipod from updating automatically to manually.\n\nFirst connect your ipod then in itunes click on EDIT then PREFERENCES locate the tab that says IPOD then the tab that says MUSIC and then change it to MANUALLY MANAGE SONGS AND PLAYLISTS then click on OK.\n\nThis will mean you have to drag songs onto your ipod in order to save them but you wont have any problems with losing songs you wish to keep.

By default, your itunes library is a mirror image of your iPod...so when you hook it up to your pc, it automatically updates...so to keep the songs on your iPod,  turn off automatic updating...it will make sure that when you hook up your iPod, the library wont update, and the songs on your ipod will stay the same...but,the only way to put songs on your iPod is to update the iPod again...which will delete the songs automatically...

ok this is kinda of hard but is can be done... open up "My Computer", then go to "Tools" and hit "Folder options" and hit the "View" Tab and make sure "Show hidden files" is selected then plug in your ipod...and then find it in "My computer" open it and open the songs folder and all that folders with "F" and a number are your songs and make sure u copy and past it somewhere "COPY"

TRY USING VIDEORA SOFTWARE TO CONVERT THEM..\nI STOPPED USING ITUNES BECAUSE IT SUCKS\nDOWNLOAD THE NEW WINAMP WICH HAS A PLUGIN THAT ALLOWS U TO UPDATE UR IPOD.  NO INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED AND PLUS, U CAN DOWNLOAD MUSIC FROM OTHER COMPUTERS AND IT DOESNT RESET WHEN U CONNECT IT

Well, you should disable the Limewire player from playing the songs. You can do this in the preferences menu.\nThen all you have to do is to click the downloaded song and it will be added to your iTunes library.

they kinda wrong. if u automatically get the songs on r iPod then u nckeck the songs u dont want and plug it in. Or if u put them in manually, u select the songs u dont want in ur iPod and left-click delete or i think itz clear.\npick me as best.:)

Install Itunes and Ipod software on your PC. Then connect the Ipod, when you connect the itunes software will ask "This ipod is linked to another library, would you like to replace the files and link to this librarry"... SELECT NO... if you say yes, then you'll lose all the songs.\n\nOnce you know the ipod is connected, copy the files. \n\nOr else, try this, dont know if it'll work, \nas soon as you connect your ipod, your system will identify it as an external storage device. once its connected, open it through "My Computer" and copy the files to any desired location

You cannot do it through Itunes or windows.  You need a third party program.  The one I used was ePhPod.\n\nYou install it on the computer you want to put the music onto and you plug your iPod into that pc.  Do not sync the music.  Open EphPod and then select the drive that your iPod is identified as and it will give you the contents of your iPod.\n\nYou can then transfer whatever songs you want.  I have had no problems with it.\n\nEdit:  EphPod is free.

you have to remove it from your computer library first by just highlighting and deleting then you re-sync your iPOD with the computer.

From what I understand, and unless you want to mod your iPod, the answer is no.  That's one of the chief complaints anti-iPod and anti-Apple users cite as the reasons why they dislike the iPod.\n\nFortunately for me, all my songs were ripped from the CDs I've purchased, and I always make hard copies of the songs I purchase from iTunes.\n\nI believe there might be a hack you can try; I think a popular website is ilounge.com- people there are doing all sorts of crazy things to their ipods.

Select the track, hit Apple-I to get at the Info, select the Artwork tab.\nClick on the image to select it (a blue border appears) and hit Delete.\nDone.
