Hello:

This may be discussed elsewhere, although I have searched and not found an answer just yet.

I have iTunes on an iBook, and I have an iPod to go with it. All was great, and I had 2800 songs, around 11GB of music.

When my wife officially took the reins of the iBook, I switched the iPod to manually update, then deleted about 2500 of my 2800 songs. The plan was to get an external USB or FireWire hard drive and move my iTunes Library to that drive, then go back to automatic updating.

HOWEVER: The iBook now says that if I switch back to automatic updating, it'll delete the 2800 songs on my iPod and replace them with the 300 or so on the iBook.

Is there any way to have the opposite occur? Delete the 300'ish songs on the iBook and replace them with the 2800 or so on the iPod?

Thanks for reading, and thanks for answering. :)

James
