IPod Shuffle help - using on different computers
Melanie858

I have a 2nd generation pink Ipod Shuffle. I have got music on it which I put on using my home PC. However when I connect it to my laptop it says that I can't have my iPod synced with more than once itunes library and my only option is to erase all the songs and sync it with the library of my laptop. However I don't want to erase the songs already on my shuffle (from my home PC itunes library) - I want to keep most of them on there and just add some extra ones from my laptop. Is there a way I can do this?

Thanks for any help .

It's ok. I've managed to figure out a solution. I have been able to access the song files on the iPod shuffle and transfer them into the music library on my laptop. I did this my accessing it through 'my computer'. Therefore I will have the songs on my laptop, even though they will be deleted from my shuffle when I sync it with my laptop.

Yes, get an MP3 player that's not made by Apple!

Good advice there. Mel: Make sure iTunes doesnt automaticly sync your iPod when you plug it in. Make sure it is set to manual on either PC, then you can put music on it from either PC.
