Manage memory on iPod Shuffle
I am unable to manage the music on my old iPod Shuffle using Music. I cannot see any of the songs currently loaded so I am unable to manage and add new or remove old songs.

Hi Don Menchion,
We'll be glad to help you out. To sync your iPod, you'll need to use Finder or iTunes. This isn't done via the Music application. The following page will show you what to do, depending on which type of computer or macOS version you're using: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support
Cheers.

Thanks for those details Don Menchion.
Your options may be limited, as this type of iPod is no longer supported by Apple. You could try erasing the entire iPod and then syncing over the music you want, but without support available we wouldn't be able to suggest any other steps.
Hope that helps.
Hi - thanks for the response. Unfortunately this does not work either. Finder detects the iPod and I can select it but I have no ability to manage the media.
