How do I preview songs within iTunes list of songs on my iPod Shuffle?

I want to hear what songs are on my iPod shuffle with their listed title , so I know what to keep and what to delete.
Because, when you know you want to delete some songs, but do not remember all the titles.

Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  The next step depends on whether your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, or if it is 3rd or 4th (current) gen.  If you don't know, this article shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
1st or 2nd gen - Look over to the right and click on the Contents tab.  That screen shows the list of songs currently on the shuffle.  You should be able to play them off the list.  With a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, when you do this, you are actually playing the song file that is in your iTunes library (on computer), not the song file that is currently stored on the shuffle (but they should be the same).
3rd or 4th gen - Click on the little triangle next to the shuffle (in sidebar) to "drop down" the iTunes media categories (indented under shuffle).  Select Music.  Over to the right, you should see a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle.  If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music (on the shuffle's Summary tab), you should be able to play them off the list.  If you use automatic syncing, the song list should be visible, but "grayed out" (not accessible); you need to play the songs from the playlist(s) you sync automatically to the shuffle (in your iTunes library).

  • HT2905 How do I delete songs on my IPod Shuffle and start again?

    I noticed that I have the same songs on my IPod Shuffle 4th generation, how can I delete all from my IPOD and redownload again?

    This procedure applies if you are loading songs manually, not using automatic syncing.
    First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Connect the shuffle and find it listed in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Click on the small triangle to the left of the shuffle, to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Music there.  To the right, the list of songs currently on the shuffle is shown.  Select the song you want to remove on the list and press DELETE on the keyboard.  You can do this with multiple songs selected.  If you want to remove ALL song from the shuffle, do a Select All (from the menu bar or right click).

  • HT201269 how can I upload songs from my iPod shuffle to a new laptop with iTunes?

    Previous desktop crashed & replaced with a new laptop, so unable to backup my iPod shuffle to iTunes.  When I try to sync the iPod to the new iTunes library, it wants to erase the iPod completely and load the songs from the iTunes library on the new laptop.  How can I transfer songs from iPod shuffl into the new iTunes library without losing everything?

    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

  • How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to my computer or to my itunes library? Songs/playlists show up as being on ipod but cant move to itunes library.

    How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to either my computer or to my itunes library.

    Hello Christopher,
    There are 2 ways to go about this.  One is to use the manual method which is a little different depending on whether or not you use a Mac or a PC or you can opt to use a 3rd party software that can help you accomplish the task as well.  See this older thread for a list of possible software you could use.

  • I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

    I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists.  It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind.  It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position?  I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

    This worked for me.  I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

  • How do I transfer songs from my iPod to iTunes?

    Okay. At this point I am SO frustrated with Apple. I just hate the company so much right now. Such a simple simple question. How do I transfer songs from my iPod Nano (1st Gen) to iTunes. There is nothing about it in any manual. Apple has no way for you to contact them via email. And it appears the only way to get any answers is to sign up for this ridulous apple account and then sign up again for a posting id or whatever. Anyways. I would simply like to know, how do I transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes. Thank you.

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    What's so hard about asking for help here? It's one if the best support forums on the net.

  • HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs.  The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB.  How many songs will that hold aproximately.

    My Itunes library has 700 songs.  The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB.  How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

    To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom.  If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
    If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below.  If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

  • How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.
