Yeah, I appreciate the help. But, as someone else mentioned earlier, what happens when you use a single song in multiple playlists? How do you manage that?nohitter151 wrote:Huh? That's not what I'm saying at all. You manage your music library on a computer, including playlists. You then copy these playlists (and the accompanying music files) to the iPod, so that you have your library on the iPod and can listen to it from there.Rednroll wrote:....I don't need a playlist in MM that will play songs from my iPod when my iPod is connected to my PC.
So currently I have all my songs on a Hard drive on my PC. I select the ones I want to move over to my iPod. Once those songs are on the iPod then I want to create multiple playlists and many of those playlists will contain the same song. Does this copy method still work, or does it mess up the previous playlists that where created which may over write an identical song? Or does it create duplicates of the same song on the iPod?
This post pretty much summarizes my current frustrations:
I think, I may have found my solution that seems to be working the best for me. I just downloaded "Yamipod" and this seems to do exactly what I need it to do with playlists as well as allowing me to drag and drop songs from windows explorer to the iPod. This doesn't have the downfall of Sharepod that I mentioned earlier, because Yamipod will group songs by Artist and Album, so you don't have to sort through your entire music library to add a song to a playlist.CoolHandZeke wrote:
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to create multiple playlists for the iPod WITHOUT duplicating the songs!!! Extremely frustrating.
And I thought that if I were to simply put all the songs on the iPod using MM, that I could simply click on the iPod (while in MM) and add new playlists RIGHT THERE. But MM doesn't allow that option.
Simply put, how can I create multiple playlists in MM intended for the iPod, but do NOT duplicate the songs that pop up in different playlists??? Doest that make sense?
Please help.

I think, I'll just use MM for my ID3 Tag editor for music files that are on my PC, because it does a great job at this with it's auto-tag feature. It's managing of songs that are already on the iPod and iPod playlist creation and editing is something I'm struggling with currently when using MM. Hopefully, that stuff will improve in the future.
I'm kind of curious how this copy method would work, if I decided to remove one song from the playlist? So for example, if I have a playlist of 600 songs like I currently do, and I wanted to remove just one song from the playlist, then does that mean that the other 599 songs would need to get copied over to the iPod again??? Or can I just edit the playlist that is on the iPod within MM??? Sorry if these questions seem dumb, I'm kind of new to MM and things have been a little confusing when working with music files and playlist that are currently on the iPod so far.
