Choose which songs to sync with your iPod
Many have mentioned that the iPod Touch’s disk space is too small for them. Abe Olandres in Pinoy Tech Blog mentioned that he found the 8GB and 16GB capacity “wanting.”
“I wish Apple had gone with the 80GB Classic and turned that into a touch screen. That would have been the clincher,” he wrote.
I do wish that the iPod Touch had more disk space, but the reality is that there is no such thing as having enough disk space.
The trick is to selectively download songs to your iPod. You do this but accessing your iPod menu and defining which playlists you want to download to your iPod.
If you find yourself struggling to create playlists, you can use iTunes’ “smart playlist” function (which I used to automatically keep all titles with the Jazz genre under one playlist) or get The Filter, which creates a playlist based on selected songs in iTunes.
You can use this technique in case you have two iPods. For example, I plan to get a 160GB iPod Classic and use that as a backup for all my media, and then use my newly purchased iPod Touch as my media player.
