I have a quick question, sorry if this has been asked somewhere else, I didn't notice it..

I currently have a 20 gig ipod. I'm wanting to get an ipod mini for my gf, and would like to sync it on my machine for her (she doesn't have a computer).

So does itunes support multiple ipods? How can I sync to hers, when my itunes folder is much larger the the mini holds.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

many random e-thoughts on this MB.

By default, the iPod Mini will attempt to sync songs onto the iPod Mini, preferring songs you have higher play counts on.

Otherwise, you can always set up the iPod mini to synchronize only specific playlists instead of the entire library.

iTunes has always had the support for multiple iPods. This is because the information that handles syncing resides on the iPod itself, and not on your computer.

Oh really. Thanks for the good advice. Can you tell me how to do this, or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

When you plug the iPod in. You can click on the prefs for the iPod and enable which playlist you would like.
