It's difficult to say without a bit more detail.

Have you successfully copied the music into your iTunes library and does it play in iTunes? If not, post back with detail about the point at which the process is not working for you and we'll go from there.


Once the music is playing in your iTunes library, have you previously copied music to this specific iPod and was it by using Sync? If so, is the sync set to synchronise the entire music library, or only selected playlists, artists, albums and genres? The setting for this is found by connecting the iPod to iTunes and looking on the Device/Settings/Music menu (see the screenshot below. The display will show Device/Settings/Summary pane, switch to the Music pane by selecting the Music option, numbered 1. (the orange text) in the screenshot. The option to Sync Music (2.) should already be on. Finally, which option in 3. is selected?


If it's the option to sync only selected playlists, artists, albums and genres, then the music needs to be included in one of the lists that are set to synchronise with the iPod.
