Hi, is there a way I can wipe all the music from my iPod classic and then reinstall from my iTunes with same songs? So it doesn’t affect my iTunes.
The reason I want to do this is on my iPod under genre I have songs of same genre eg rock split out into 5 separate lots and many more genres the same. I have tidied them up on my iTunes so that I have 1 for rock, 1 for disco etc. And want my iPod to be the same. Hoping someone can help
If the songs were synced from iTunes to the device then syncing again should update the metadata.
If you've been manually managing the device, and it only has a subset of your music you need to rebuild the playlist in iTunes. In some cases you may be able to export the content of the device as an XML playlist, then import that list to the library. If you run Windows you can also try my script ImportDevicePlaylists.

I have just synced the iPod with iTunes on my laptop but it hasn’t changed it. It’s still the same. Can I delete everything from my iPod and then install my iTunes again? If so how? I’m not very computer literate
See Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support to wipe the device and Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support to reload content to it.
