Please advise...how does one put individual songs (not whole albums...pick and choose songs) into 1st gen. shuffle?

Hi diskgolfdad,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You are referencing the correct article for syncing to your iPod shuffle. What happens when you drag your individual songs from your iTunes library to the device in the sidebar?

- Connect iPod shuffle to your computer and open iTunes.
- Select the option to "Manually manage music" from the iPod Summary tab of the iPod settings screen.
- Select your Music, Podcasts, or Audiobooks Library or a playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
- Select one or more pieces of audio content and drag them to the iPod shuffle icon under Devices.
- If you have turned on disk use, disconnect iPod shuffle by selecting it under Devices and clicking the eject icon (iPod shuffle is ready to be disconnected when the status light stops flashing).
Cheers,

Hi judysings,
I tried to follow your instructions but can't figure it out (sorry I'm so un'techie'). There is no 'option to manually manage music' and no summary tab on my screen; thus I can't select any songs or even a playlist. I can't locate the iPod shuffle icon, so...you can see my problem. What can I do now?

Hi diskgolfdad,
What version of iTunes are you working with? You may need to update to the latest version. I believe you are working on a Mac. If so, you should be able to see the Sidebar on the left. If you cannot, click the View command on the menu bar at the top of the window. Then choose Show Sidebar.

I want to be able to choose individual songs to put into my 1st generation shuffle; however, I'm having much difficulty doing this. Any suggestions?
