first, you need to plug your usb which comes with your ipod into your computer, you need to use itunes to load your ipod up, when you load itunes you should see your ipod on the screen, best thing to do is to create a name for it so when you load or remove songs you will know what file to add or remove,if your burning songs from a cd onto itunes ,burn the cd, then choose songs from your main list of songs, its hard to explain, but play around to get the best results, i hope this helps, it took me ages to figure it out, good luck
