Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each iPod Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open, quit it.
- Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes. - In the dialog that appears, do the following:
- Click Create Library.
- Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your brand new library file.
- Open iTunes Preferences.
- Click the Advanced tab and then click the General tab.
- De-select Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library checkbox if it is selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicate copies of your existing media files in the new library folder.
- Add the specific media files you want on your iPod to iTunes either by dragging them into iTunes or using the Add to Library option in the File menu.
- Once you have the iTunes LIbrary just how you want it, connect and sync iPod.
- Once the sync is complete, quit iTunes.
- Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes. - Click Choose library.
- Choose your original iTunes Library and click Choose (Mac Users) or Open (Windows Users). You can now switch back and forth between the different libraries for different iPods.
