    Sorry to take up so mucyh space, but here is the thing:

    - I see the list of songs on my iPod.  And at the top it is telling me that I'm "downloading 898 songs".

    - I tap on that line and the second screen appears with the list of songs appear with the moving circles next to each song.

    -  I guest that I need to keep the iPod attached for it to carry on downloading.  That's how I left for about twelve hours.  Nothing moved.

    - Is it stuck or does it take a long time to download 898 songs?  In fact I detached the iPod from the PC about an hour ago and nothing has changed:  Still downloading 898 songs and circles still moving.

    - In My MusicI go to the songs and there is an icon with a ticked iPod next to most of the songs.  What does that mean?

    -  When will I know that I can leave the confines of my network and listen to the songs offline?

    The rotating circle means it is trying to download from internet. Regarding the iPod icon:

    See the Music>My Music>Remove a song or album stored on iPod touch topic of the manual. The special characters do not copy and paste into a reply

    OK, the icon I see is for me to delete the song and the circles means the songs are still downloading from the Internet.  Is that normal to spend 12 hours trying to download. Sorry to say, but all this help is getting me no nearer to a solution. I still do not know if I can listen to my songs when I'm away from home.  You're sending me links to the official Apple  documents that are worth anything.  Anyone got any original ideas.  No app that I can just drag and drop? Why is there not a problem to listen to songs on an iPad? The iPod is build specially for listening to music and I'm having such a problem doing it. Tell me am I downloading too many songs at once or what?

    It should not take that long at all to download. Try suing the free iFunBox computer app to manual copy and paste media to and from the iPod. I have used it

    Now we are getting somewhere. Downloaded, attached the iPod, made my way to the Music folder in the Raw File System and found the files organised in various folders.  Even played a song or two. Now, that is not listening to streaming music. They are actual files. So why the the big commotion? Why are they still supposedly still downloading?

    I have no idea why they are still download. Is the iPod connected to the Internet?
