If you use Sync to manage your iPod, and you have Sync only ticked songs and videos turned on (checked), simply untick the song in your iTunes Library and then allow the iPod to Sync.
Alternatively, Sync selected Playlists, Artists, Albums etc. and don't select the songs you don't want.
I am having the same problem. I used to be able to just delete the songs by pressing the delete button/untick the songs but now I can't anymore. The tick boxes are greyed out and I cannot do anything with it. On the Music tab under On My Device option I also have the Edit Playlist option where I can drag songs into my iPod but I cannot delete the ones that are already in it. I have also tried to delete the songs using my iPod but they get copied right back in when I sync the device! It's very frustrating and I don't know how to get rid of my old songs. Please help.
I cannot thank you enough for this response. Like the others, I too have been having issues reducing the number of songs I have accumulated over the years. They are NOT checked in I Tunes but I was unable to get rid of them from the phone regardless of the number of times I tried.
