How to Add Music to iPod

Transfer music to iTunes

Open iTunes on your computer. It's an app with a multicolored musical note icon on a white background with a multicolored circle outside.

If iTunes asks to download the latest version, do so.

Connect your iPod to your computer. Attach the USB end of the iPod cable to the computer and attach the other end to the iPod's charging port.

If iTunes has automatic music sync turned on, you just need to open iTunes and connect to your iPod to add new music to your iPod.

Click on the management menu. You'll find the menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the iPod icon.

Click Music . It's the first option on the menu.

Click the "Library" option. In the "Library" section on the left side of the iTunes window, you'll see many options for organizing the music in your library as follows:
