Ok, after some more research this is some information I found about this issue.


The iPhone is designed to sync from a playlist. This article will give more information.

The playlists are very flexible and customizable in iTunes, this article gives more informaiton. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/513.html

Ok, I really wish I would have known that you can only sync playlists. I always have added my songs onto my ipod by putting them in the library first and then manually selecting and dragging the ones I wanted to add. I thought I found a fix-around to the playlist thing, but today all the songs I had added lastnight just magically disappeared!! So apparently if you do just sync the songs in your library you need to keep the songs there. Really stupid if you ask me!

This syncing playlists is all fine if all you want to do is sync to one computer, but if you want media from more than one computer, like a tv show that was purchased on a computer other than your synced computer it is not possible even if you move the media to the computer you sync to. You get a message that this computer is not authoriezed for this media or some such. I still own it. It's mine, who cares which computer I puchased it on. Apparently Apple does. I do not think this was through all the way.
