For some reason my itunes is only updating my Top 25 from the songs that I only play on my computer- shouldn't it be counting also the songs that I play on my ipod after I plug it into my computer too?

Anyone else ever have this problem?

I don't think it works like that unless you have your iPod and iTunes synced.

Flave is correct.

how do i do that?

you honestly never saw the check box on the itunes screen when you plug the ipod in?

is says if I do that then all of my songs on my ipod will be taken down and replaced with songs from my itunes. I only have an 8 GB ipod

You can set it so only certain playlists go on your ipod. Make a playlist specifically for your ipod with 8 gigs worth of music you want on it and set it to only take that playlist.

thanks cup, i'll try that

Sorry, just to be clear then, all I need to do is clear everything off my ipod, and then take the same albums that was on there and put them all in as a playlist and then just have that on my ipod? And it should work? I don't need to check any boxes or anything else?

Well when you click manage your ipod within itunes there should be a tab for the music on your ipod, in there you can choose between syncing your entire library or just specific playlists.

Cool- thanks Cut...

Next to every song in your iTunes there should be a check box. Every song that has a tick against it will try to load across to your iPod when you next sync.

The quick and/or cleanest fix is to select all the songs in your iTunes, uncheck all of them and then recheck the songs/albums/playlists that you want on there.

SWEET! Thanks Zeb!!!

I tried this and it didn't work. I unchecked everything and just checked a few different albums to see if it would work and this is what happened:

Under Sync Music: I checked "Entire Music Library" and it took songs from the entire library and put random songs on there that were not checked. So then I tried the 2nd option: Selected playlist, artists, and generes and it would only allow already made playlists or entire artists to be added. What am I doing wrong. Thanks again!

What I do is start a new playlist (I call it "songs of the NOW") and just dump the albums I want into that playlist. Then click Sync selected playlist and check the playlist I made. It all gets synced correctly.

It's counter intuitive because you think "hey man, I don't want a playlist there, I want my albums". But fact is you don't lose anything by doing a sync via playlist. Your albums are still organized and filed correctly. You still get Cover Flow and everything.

This is what I told him to do!

Fuck you, chud. Alright? Just fuck you.

I misunderstood your first post, thanks Cut

My method works every time. You must have done something wrong/different.
