Method Two

You may use multiple devices on a computer without the need to create multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music on, say, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle updated with only your workout music. Here's how to do this with iTunes:

1. Create new iTunes playlists that contain all the music that you want to sync to each device.
2. Learn how to sync your device.

Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.

Regards,

Have you tried from the phone itself, going to the orange music app then "Songs" tab at the bottom then swipe to the right the song on the desired song name and a red "Delete" button will appear on the right; this is the same for videos. It should work for ya :)

Hey thankyou so much for the "swipe right and a red delete will appear" tip! So simple but I never would have known that- or figured it out.
