Transferring Music to iPod mini
To set how music is transferred from your computer to your iPod mini, you connect
iPod mini to your computer, then use the controls in iTunes to change iPod mini
settings.
You can set iTunes to transfer music to your iPod mini in one of three ways:
• Automatically update all songs and playlists: When you connect iPod mini, it is
automatically updated to match the songs in the iTunes library. Any other songs
on iPod mini are deleted.
• Automatically update selected playlists: When you connect iPod mini, it is
automatically updated to match the songs in playlists you select in iTunes. Any
other songs on iPod mini are deleted.
• Manually update iPod mini: When you connect iPod mini, you can drag songs and
playlists individually to iPod mini, and delete songs and playlists individually from
iPod mini.
