IOS13 - IPOD CLASSIC

Hi,


1) It looks like after downloading iOS13 and iTunes becomes Music, there is no way to alter any song on my iPod Classic when using Music which in the old days we were able to add or delete song on iPod Classics menu. Anyone can help?


2) I am having hard time to sync one of my playlists on my Music Library to iPod Touch. I do not know how to add that playlist on my Music Library to my iPod Touch. Need help. Thank you.

  1. Catalina provides reduced support for manual management of devices. You cannot play or edit what is already on the device. You can still add or remove content. Adding is managed in Music, removing is via Finder > Device > Manage Storage. Syncing with selected playlists will actually give you better control.
  2. See Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support.

When you're manually managing a device you use Finder > Device > Manager Storage to remove individual songs.

Thanks for your help. My understanding is better now.

One last question: Through Catalina and Finder, let's say I want to remove certain albums from iPod Classic, I cannot do this. Either I have to sync what it is in my library onto the iPod or nothing else. Right?

I retrieve my question above. Through Finder and Manage Storage I do delete songs or playlists.

Thank you so much for the help.
