ipod software

Hi,

I've recently bought a 15gb ipod and despite not being the most technically gifted person, have installed the software onto our computer. My husband is thinking of getting one of the ipod mini's. We're both wondering whether the software will be the same despite mine being an ipod and his being an ipod mini, because im worried something might happen to the songs i've spent ages loading if we have to install new software!

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

    I'm quite sure that the iPod and the iPod mini both use iTunes. Of course there are other software, but I have no complaints about iTunes.
