Ipod libraries
« on: September 23, 2009, 02:42:33 PM »
I now have two Ipod nanos (8 & 16gb) that I'd like to share on the same Itunes app on the same computer. Can you have two different libraries for two different devices using the same Itunes app?

not sure, but you can always create a playlist for each device and only sych the playlist.  that's what i do with my iphone.

yeah I think this is your solution. I don't think you can create two different libraries on the same computer.

I asked this question at the Apple Store before and creating a playlist for each device was the way they said to do it.

I sort of like it that way anyway. I have all of my MP3's imported into iTunes, so I can update the playlist for my iPhone and iPod as my mood changes.

You can absolutely have two libraries on the same computer, I do this with my ipod/iphone vs my wife's. All ya do is hold down shift when opening itunes. (on windows, hold down option if on a mac.) it will give you an option to create a new library and itunes will open with a clean slate. Then you do the same thing to choose between your libraries once created. More on this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589

if only iTunes could see both libraries concurrently though...

Another Ipod question:

I have a playlist of about 600 songs that I playback with shuffle>songs that I'd like to play all the way through but there's not enough battery power. Even though I have the device sync option set to off, I still lose the playlist sequence. So is there a way to charge the Ipod without losing the playlist order?
