48 ipod & itunes: the missing manual
There are two ways to open the Options box that lets you change your syncing
preferences, as shown in Figure 2-10.
Once the Options dialog box is open, click the third tab, labeled Synchronization.
Whether you’re using Mac or Windows, the dialog box before you lets you control
how the autosyncing of your music library goes:
Complete automatic synchronization
The wording is a little different—“Automatically update all songs and playlists”
(iTunes) or “Complete library synchronization” (MusicMatch Jukebox)—but the
effect is the same. Your computer’s music collection and your iPod’s are kept identi-
cal, no matter what songs you add or remove from the computer.
If you have a PalmPilot or PocketPC, you may be thinking to yourself: “Ah, sweet
synchronization! I won’t have to worry about losing any data, because everything is
updated all the time no matter where I input them!”
There is a difference, however: Unlike a palmtop, the iPod’s synchronization with
the computer is a one-way street. If a song isn’t in iTunes or MusicMatch, it won’t be
on your iPod. Delete a song from iTunes or MusicMatch Jukebox, and it disappears
from the iPod the next time you sync up.
Tip: One exception to that last remark: MusicMatch Jukebox offers an autosync option that never whacks
tracks on the iPod, even if you’ve deleted them from the PC. It’s the Ignore Content Deletions checkbox
shown in Figure 2-10.
This, of course, is the iPod’s system for preventing music piracy. If song copying
were a two-way street, people could wander around with their iPods, collecting songs

Left: Click the circled button to
call up the iPod Preferences
dialog box. (The second button
provides access to equalizer
settings; the third controls screen
displays. The last button
dismounts the iPod from the
computer.)
Right: In the iPod Preferences
box, you can choose to have the
iPod update everything
automatically or just certain
playlists. “Manually manage
songs and playlists” lets you
move just the songs you want to
the iPod.
