I got a Nano for Christmas. It's pretty cool. But When I started it up, I accidentally put about 100 Christmas songs on it.

Does anyone know how to get songs off an IPOD. I could figure it out, but it's not in the instructions.

    You can just go into your iPod while it is connected to iTunes and delete them.

    you are using iTunes correct?

    you can do 1 of a few things

    when you connect the ipod to your computer and you are about to sync the songs into the ipod...

    a) do what PBM said
    b) in your library, uncheck the blue boxes for the songs you do not want on your ipod

    Thanks,

    Honestly, I got excited to try it out, and plugged it in. Then my kids distracted me and I haven't looked at it since. Today on the way to work, I started playing around with it and assumed I'd find a delete function......

    Cheers

    Nope, no deleting right from the unit. You basically manage whats on it straight from iTunes and iTunes only.

    Playcounts sync up. I have a playlist of my top 100 most played (#1 RVM), and everything updates like it should.

    I have a Generation 3 and I was wondering about new models. Are you able to go from your iPod back into your library?

    I can't on mine, but I found this cool program called iPod Rip that allows me to do so.

    The one thing I don't like is that I formated my iPod at my work computer (eMac) and my home computer (PC) doesn't recognize it. I found another program to work around that, but still.

    I have a 4th gen iPod and you still can't go from the iPod to the library, and I doubt you ever will, without the aid of third party software. I can see why though, its basically welcoming stealing music by easily plugging your iPod into anyone's computer, taking what they have and putting it on yours.

    I was playing around with my iPod today to show my boss how to use it (he just got his daughter a nano for Christmas and was having issues) and if you format it on a PC, it'll show up on a PC or Mac without a problem, but if you format it on a Mac, its Mac only.

    Yeah, I know. I was thinking about backing up all my music on my iPod Rip and then reformating my iPod to my PC.

    Honestly, I usually just use my iPod Rip to bring songs back into my iTunes library to make Mix-Cd's. I don't share a whole lot, but I can see how folks would do that.

    Basically, once it goes into your iPod, you can't drag it back into your iTunes library.

    As Monster stated, this prevents folks from taking their iPod, connecting it to a friends computer and transfering all their music from their iPod to their friends computer.
