iPods & Computers

[kia cat]

Have just bought myself an iPod - the classic - to store all my music on.

Daughter also has one - the touch - we both use the same PC but with separate logins.

Is there an easy way to stop either iPod downloading/synching with the other's music?

I thought - in my wisdom; or probably lack of! - if there was a separate folder each with our own music in, that would be a simple solution. But then for tracks we both want [few and far between] should there be a copy in each folder?

Are any of the guides printed worth buying? I guess I need iPods for dummies or similar! Thanks

Yes there is. You should each create a personal Playlist. Open iTunes and go to File/New Playlist. Name your Playlist, then drag and drop the music you want to hear to it. You can have the same track on multiple playlists. When you sync your ipod|(s) click your ipod under devices in the left column of iTunes, then go along the menu to Music.
Click the button by selected playlists, then choose the playlist(s) you want to sync to.

Thanks Milvus. That's helped hopefully I can stop my iPod getting clogged with MCR and she'll appreciate not having to listen to my stuff!
