iTunes help

Ok, so I just got an iPod after having 3 mp3 players go to shit on me...and I amnot very happy with how un-user friendly it is. Now, before I flip out and throw the thing out the window, I figured I would ask some questions since I am a rookie at iTunes and maybe I am missing something...

1) A bunch of song that I do NOT want on my iPod were automatically transfered and it won't seem to let me delete them...how do I remove them from my iPod?

2) Is converting all 15,987 of my music files to AAC format necessary?...is there another way to do it rather than iTunes itself, b/c it's taking for-fucking-ever!?

That's all I can think of for now...I will add as I go and thank you for any help you can give. My sanity is on the line, here. :)

  • you should be able to delete the songs on itunes and then when you sync it should remove those songs from the ipod, i've never had a problem removing songs.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    There is one setting where you have to change it to manual sync instead of auto sync, because auto sync will automatically make your ipod like your itunes. to get music off your ipod click the ipod picture thing in the left hand side of itunes, find the songs, right click delete them.

    As for converting to AAC, i think you can put them onto your ipod without having to do that, not sure though, it's been a while.

  • you don't have to convert anything... mp3's will work fine.

    I use WMA files and they don't work.

  • Is there a program besides iTunes that will convert the files faster?...I let it run over night and it's not even 5% done with my music library.

    You mean converting the files?

  • Day 2 of converting...only about 15% complete...but it will be worth it when it's all done.
