Can you delete songs off the itunes library on a computer without deleting them next time you connect to your ipod?

I think you can but i find you need to be careful. You can experiment by deleting a song you don't want and see if it also deletes it off the ipod next time you plug it in. Failing that back up your songs to cd. You can get about 120 songs I think on one cd in mp4 format but I think it will only play on a computer.
I've managed to delete my ipod before somehow -still not sure how- but usually leave it on on the computer as I only have 2gb nano ipod and I change the music alot.
Thinking about again after i have loaded the ipod in the music section of the ipod on the computer I uncheck the boxes so that when i plug it in next time it doesn't automatically sync the ipod. Hope that helps but experiment first with something that doesnt matter! Sometimes there is a glitch and its best to restore the settings. Good luck.

connect your ipod to your pc and open up itunes. go to ipod options and uncheck "automatically update ipod". if you can update your ipod manually you can choose what songs to add/delete from your ipod yourself so theoretically you can delete songs from your computer without them coming off your ipod. good luck!
