Moving music tracks

my comuputer is running Monetary o.s. I simply want to move a couple of tunes from Music on Mac onto my iPod. It appears the only option I have to get any music from my computer to my iPad is to have my iPod wiped clean and replaced with whatever. is on the computer. Not doing that!! Is there no way to move individual tracks? This is ridiculous!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0

music transfer Is it possible to move/copy my music library from iPhone8 to iPod nano? I just tried to purchase a new album from iTunes store while on iMac. When it synced to iPod all the previous library was wiped out. When I open MUSIC on the iMac I see the entire library including recent purchase. But I see no option to move all that to iPod Nano.

How to manage music on an iPod nano using "Music" For years, I have used the various versions of iTunes to manage music on an iPod nano. However, with my new iMac, Apple killed iTunes and replaced it with "Music." Using the new Apple "Music" application, I have not been able to find any way to add or delete music from an iPod. Has anyone done this?

Finder on Mac OS is not locating my entire music library to sync to an old iPod / old iPhone Hello! I am trying to sync music to both an old iPod touch and an old iPhone 4 to throw in the car - set it and forget it. Because they are older devices, they no longer sync through the 'new' Apple Music desktop app. You have to use Finder, device and when you click on the device, you can sync files to that old device through that finder window. However, the "music library" that the finder window is finding only has 17 songs and 6 artists. My entire Music Library is about 256 GB large - so much more than 17 songs. How can I get finder to correctly "see" my full library so I can transfer songs to my old iPod an iPhone devices. Is there some type of plist file or something else I need to delete or erase so that finder can locate the correct library? Thanks in advance!!!

If it is music you PURCHASED from the iTunes Store, you can download that directly to your iPod. However, it is music you imported from a CD or elsewhere, then you have to sync your iPod to your computer. Unfortunately,. syncing is generally the act of getting two elements in harmony - so both devices will have the same data files. That is simply the way Apple designed it. Sorry.
