Thinking of getting an second IPOD

How will this work with our itunes? I was thinking of a smaller memory ipod but wasnt sure how the itunes would recognize it. everytime I add something to itunes it automatically loads everything onto my ipod, but if I get a smaller ipod what happens? Can you set the settings for each one to be recognized? Its for the wife and she can do without the KING DIAMOND or SEPULTRA. IF its an issue I guess I'll try and find the 80GB again. I heard they stopped making it though when they released the new models.

just change the settings to manually add music instead of auto sync. I bought one for my wife for the same reason.(but she actually likes the sepultura, hates alot of my other stuff)

SO the settings are on the IPOD? I thought the settings were on ITUNES?

the settings on itunes that come up when you connect your ipod.

The settings you set in iTunes are individual iPod settings recognized in iTunes. You can have 500 iPods hooked up to your iTunes all downloading different playlists/artists than the other at the same time if you've already plugged in the iPod before and set it up.

^^^^^^^^^^ cool. When I get the ipod I'll see a "new Ipod" listing and be able to name it and shit and it wont F with my normal ipod? Thats cool. So I can choose to manually load music to the new one. Is that as easy as loading entire artists? Or do you have to go in and do individual cd's or songs? hope that ain't the case.

you do it exactly the same as you did your last iPod...you set it up how you want. Manually dump on music if you want which is the easy way I suppose but really not taking advantage of the intuitive nature of itunes...make generic playlists in itunes that only your new ipod will sync, make smart playlists that only your new ipod will sync...whatever your pleasure. when you click on the ipod and go throughs its summary/music/movies etc tabs that applies to the ipod you have clicked on only no matter how many are plugged in at once. those are ipod setting not global itunes settings.
