How to Sync My iPod With Windows Media Player 10
- 1). Download a sync program. Because iPods are specifically made to exclude non-Apple software, the iPods are not intended to sync with Windows Media Player, thus a third-party program is necessary. Most programs will charge for the full version but offer 30-day free trials.
- 2). Plug your iPod into your computer. Windows will recognize the device.
- 3). Open Windows Media Player.
- 4). Click on the "Quality" tab.
- 5). Confirm that Windows Media Player will not automatically convert files into .wma format. The files need to be in .mp3 format, or they will not play on the iPod.
- 6). Select the "Sync" tab.
- 7). Click and drag the songs you wish to place onto the iPod.
- 8). Click "Start Sync."
- 9). Select the "Safely remove hardware" tab from your Windows task bar, and remove the iPod.
