iPod Nano 5G + Windows Laptop Help!

I need help with figuring out how to add music to an iPod nano 5th generation.

I’m using an iPod nano 5G, and an HP laptop with Windows.

iTunes only has podcasts and audiobooks, no music library. Music folder seems to be missing on the iPod from my files menu. If I add mp3s it will say it’s syncing but when I eject it there’s nothing on the device.

I’m getting increasingly frustrated and no articles I read seem to be working. I even tried using the service AnyTrans and, when it looked like it might work, did nothing at all.

help!
