Transferring Songs and Playlists to iPod Manually
You can set iPod to transfer songs manually, so you can transfer individual songs
and playlists. This is especially useful if you want to use iPod with more than
one PC.
When iPod is set to transfer songs manually, iTunes won't update it automatically
when you connect it to your PC.
