-- ipod shuffle question...

ipod shuffle question...

whenever i delete something from the library it deletes it from the ipod shuffle. so how i do i stop it from doing that??? i like having my library empty.

my gf and i bought an ipod shuffle for my gfs mom for mothers day. i already have an 80gb ipod video and my gf has a 20 gb ipod. now ive never had problems with either ipod, but this shuffle is being annoying as fuck.

can anyone help? i really dont want to keep a bunch of songs in my library. grrrrrr

or can anyone recommend any other programs other than itunes with which i can manage the ipods? i have ipod access but i only use that to copy songs from the ipod to my computer.

thanks in advance.

isn't there something like media monkey or something like that...maybe try that

ideally, as much as i hate itunes, id like to figure out how to make everything work right there. but if theres no other options, then i guess ill try something else.

Is Automatic Synching turned on?

well thats the shitty part, theres no option. on my 80gb i have the "auto sync ipod" setting unchecked.

on the shuffle theres only "only update checked songs"... ive tried it both checked and unchecked and they both yield the same result.

fixed.

the solution is to stop the ipod service (so it doesnt detect when you plug it in) and ONLY use itunes when you want to buy music ITMS. otherwise use windows media player, winamp, or some other substitute.

Not the answer. All you need to do is delete the file, but keep there reference to the non-existent file in the library.

It sees the reference and doesn't check to see if the file is still there on the computer.
