Our two girls have iPods, so has our son. I just pay for things...................
Each of the girls has her iPod set up on individual PC's at
home, with their own playlists & library etc in iTunes.
I have created my own playlist & purchased some songs on line, & stored them on Lizzie's iTunes.
BUT I wanna use them in Shirl when touring. That is, I'll take the radio transmitter & one of the girl's iPods away when next I travel.
So how can I put my play list into Lizzie's iPod without deleteing/overwriting all her songs? (she doesn't want my playlist loaded over hers, and Vice versa - which is fair enough, I reckon). Her iPod capacity is 1,000 songs or 4Mb.
Her sister, Georgie, has an iPod with 1,500 songs or 6Mb. This runs off the 2nd PC in the house. They are linked. Can I somehow send them to that PC & then into her iTunes?
If so, what would
the steps be?
.........................................................................Geez, I'feeling old
Wolfie, you can see that we're part way to the dark side.

Let's see if I got this right...
Lizzie has her own computer.
Lizzie has iTunes on her computer.
Lizzie has HER songs in iTunes.
YOU, also have YOUR songs in Lizzie's iTunes.
Create your own playlist, and it will simply import the playlist, as her iPod should already have all of your music on it, if it was synchronised correctly.

Arrr.. Yes 90%
Even if it all goes bad, just hook the iPod up and let it reload everything.
If the computers are all networked then you can pull songs from one computer and bring them over to the other computer/ itunes and reload them onto the other ipod and not lose anything.

Yes Ian, that is the situation
However I forgot to say Lizzie's iPod is full. So a synch will not put my songs on her ipod?????????,
or if it does it will at the expense of some of her songs?????????????
So can I store them (my songs) somehow & synch at a later date with a playlist that is
mine, without losing her songs?
Aha, Exploder, I think that is my issue.
how do I get them from one PC to another, from iTunes.
I & the girls can't see howe to save/swap data/songs/playlists
Thanks blokes

Damn!!
You are simply going to have to join your kids, and get an iPod.
There is far too much messing around, deleting songs off her iPod, replacing them with yours, etc....
Once you have your own, and you have your own iTunes Library, it will be so simple.
This, to me is the most user friendly solution.

I have only done it with Win-amp or music stored on the hard drive/ Cd’s on another computer as my computer is the only one with I-Tunes on it. So have not done it I-tunes to I-Tunes
Hear it is any way..
I Just go Import File or folder, Select the song or song’s I want from the location I.E My network place>D-Drive> Mp3’s> Bro’s Music> song then Hit Ok it and they appear in my I-tunes library.

got the same delema, if you go to the ipod site and go through to links you will find one
forum that (like explore oz) you can ask questions and look up threads. there was one i read from a guy but you have to download a program which i dont like doing. if you give it a go let me know the outcome
cheers

SUCCESS
Thanks to Exploder's suggestion!
I opened iTunes, selected my play list, went to import & created a folder in the shared file section, and presto, it's there on the other PC for me to download.
I still have to
test that it plays in iTunes on the other PC..............wait a bit,........................ it does! They are now in Georgie's iPod in my own playlist. Bewdy.
YAY
Thanks Exploder.
Nyah Nyah, Wolfie & Brew
