This is the scenario. I insert a CD (with mp3 songs) into the CD drive of my laptop. I drag and drop a few songs into an itunes folder (say 'favs'). I have not copied these to my hard drive. I open my ipod (in itunes) and update it with the songs in 'favs' (using autofill and un checking all the options). My ipod suffle now has songs in 'favs' folder. I eject the CD and load my CD drive with another CD. I drag and drop a few songs from this CD into the same folder - 'favs' or another one 'niceones'. I have not copied these to my hard drive as well. I go to my ipod (in itunes) again and use the autofill without replacing option to put the new songs into my ipod shuffle. itunes complains that it could not find the previously loaded songs (from the first CD). After the update is complete, the ipod now only has the new set of songs but not the old ones :( Has anyone encountered such a problem. Importantly, do you have a fix or a round about way of doing this.
Thanks much.

You can't just drag and drop straight from the CD. You have to rip the songs from the CD to your computer and then go to iTunes to load them on your ipod.
G'luck!

Your going to need to burn the songs from your cd to itunes first, then you can drag from your libary to your Ipod.
