    Is the music going onto iTunes? and is it playing there?
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Then make sure that the sync option in the iPod options is set to 'automatically sync my music' and not manually manage it. if the songs are still not there then eject your iPod, remove it from the USB and reconnect again (but make sure iTunes is set to automatically sync before you eject your iPod).

    once you have your music in itunes you have to drag it over to you ipod and the
    do not disconnect is just letting you now that the ipod is talking/connected to the pc and there is a eject button in itunes so you can disconnect your ipod for your pc ,it's on the bottom right hand corner

    You don't need to drag anything if you set iTunes to sync automatically.

    you can syc with the ipod put there mite be some songs you do not want ,you have to high light the song you want and drag the over to ipod (it will be in the left colume above playlists ) or to move/copy lots in one go you click on a song and the press Ctrl until you have highlighted all the songs you want ,with out letting go off ctrl click on a hightlighted songs and move to ipod , you will see a icon and a red number in it when you move it ,that as just showing you how many songs you are moving/copying, they will say grayed out until you click on more songs
    there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff

    Click on the iPod icon on the left bar to open the iPod options page, Choose music from the top menu and then tick the 'automatic sync' box. Finally click apply and it should work.
