Hi all,
I recently purchased an Ipod shuffle. Here's my question via a scenario:
I transfer songs from my hard drive to Itunes. I then transfer the songs
from Itunes to my shuffle. I then delete the songs from my hard drive.
The next time I connect my shuffle to the computer to add different songs
the previous songs are deleted!
Do I have to keep songs on my hard drive?
How do I stop songs from being deleted.
Cheers,
Paul

Don't delete them from iTunes.

You can configure Itunes to NOT automatically update your IPOD everytime you
connect.
