You did it wrong? Don't you just sync the iPod and iTunes and it copies them over?

add the mp3s to your library first.

First off: wrong forum!

Did you add them to your library? If you add them to yuor iTunes library, you should be able to sync them no problem. I bought my Mom and iPod for Christmas and added a bunch of my non-iTunes stuff to it.

I don't think those work for the new iPods.

Ventis Media has released a new version of its award-winning MediaMonkey music management software that syncs with Apple?s iPhone 3G and iPod Touch v2. For music lovers seeking an alternative to iTunes, it is the only application capable of syncing to the new iPhone 3G and iPod Touch.


SWEET! thanks guys

MediaMonkey is very good. a bit intimidating at first as it has TOO MANY features, but otherwise good software

Then you're doing it wrong.

I think you need iTunes to set your device to be use as storage then you can throw them on there. Now I am not sure if it will play them tho... I thought iTunes does some sort of conversion before hand. I hate that tool.

You are not supposed to drag anything. You just add the song to your library and itunes should do everything else.

Then rightclick on the iPod Touch when it is connected and click sync.
