My sister is going on tour with a band as a PA & wants to buy my 30GB off me so I can get the 40GB. The problem is, she hates half of my music. How do I load only what she likes from my eMac onto her iPod & maintain my music on my new one? What's the best way to do it?

one way of doing it is to set itunes to manual upload and simply deleting the unwanted songs and copying the nice ones. same for your ipod.i?m moving this to the mac fora, so them mac-heads ;) can give you better insight into your little problem. :)

I would set your ipods to only update selected playlists. Then make playlists in itunes that go on her ipod and the playlists that go on your ipod. According to apple faqs each ipod will be recognized individually with not problems. You can add your names to comment line in music files to help the smartplaylists make playlists that get your music onto your ipod.From apple faqs:
Question 6: Can I update more than one iPod with my computer?
Answer: Yes. Each iPod communicates a unique device identification number to your computer, allowing you to take advantage of automatic music transfers to your iPod even if you share a computer with another iPod user. You can choose to automatically update your entire music collection on multiple iPod players or choose to update selected playlists, allowing you to transfer custom playlists to individual iPod players.

I am using playlists to update two separate iPods right now using the synch playlists trick.Unfortunately this results in a large number of playlists that are quite a mess and take time to navigate in iTunes and on the synch menu.
Does anyone know how I can nest playlists into a 'folder' to keep them organized? I'd like to have a few larger playlists with a bunch of sub playlists that I can use to listen to music on one iPod.
This would also be convenient for keeping playlists of CDs that I'd burned or even organizing broader sets of music into categories.
