How do i delete some songs off my ipod?

Question

I've deleted songs plenty of songs, but when i deleted some today, they were still on my ipod when it had been updated.

Answer 1

did you delete them from your playlists or from your music library? if you delete them from your playlists, they will still be there (just not on the playlist). Instead, delete them from the main music libary in iTunes. then re-sync your iPod.

Answer 2

That depends on if you want to keep them in your library on your computer or not.

If you want to keep them in your iTunes library, but take them off of your iPod, then you'll need to do a few things. Plug your iPod into the computer, and let iTunes load. When it finishes loading, it should be on the Summary page where it shows the info of your iPod. If not, click on the Ipod on the menu on the left side of iTunes. Near the bottom, there should be some checkboxes with some options next to them. Check the one that says "Only sync checked items" and click the Apply button. Now you can go back to the main Library, and start unchecking the songs that you want to take off of your iPod. Make sure they aren't in any playlists. Once you are done, just re-sync the iPod, and the songs will be removed.

If you want to remove them completely from iTunes, just open up iTunes, and go to the main Library. Right-click and delete the songs you don't want on it anymore. Once you are done, re-sync your iPod, and the songs will be removed.

Answer 3

You don't have to delete them from your music library. Just make sure they aren't referenced in any playlists. iTunes syncs your iPod with your playlists, not your music library. But, if you would like, deleting the songs from your music library would delete them from all playlists and, hence, from your iPod and syncing. You just won't ever be able to put them back onto your iPod because they will be gone for good.

did you delete them from every play list they are in
