synchronising an ipod

[jimmy two times]

I want to put some music onto a friends ipod shuffle from my itunes.I have about 2000 tracks on this but I can only put 200 onto their shuffle. Is it possible to make a playlist of 200 selected tracks and put it onto a shuffle from my library?

their shuffle needs to be set so it does not auto synch and that needs to be done through their itunes when it's hooked up. Then attach to your itunes and you can select exactly what you want.

I somehow have all my tracks duplicated on my ipod - anyone know how I can delete any duplicate track? - is really annoying. Thanks...

In iTunes hold down the shift button and click on File > Show exact duplicates. You then have to go through and delete every other one, not the easiest thing to do but it works.

Nice one Mark - thanks for that

My friend doesn't have itunes so they can't set their ipod shuffle up in the way you suggest. They were given the shuffle by a friend. I'm wondering if I can simply make a playlist then transfer that to the shuffle when I sync it to my itunes? Just worried that it may somehow cock up my itunes or delete tracks from it?
