I got one of the durn things yesterday-ipod shuffle- and somehow, in the installation it must have downloaded everything in musicmatch on my computer . I don’t want all that crap on here.
I’ve spent a couple of hours with the “help” button, tutorial, etc. trying to find out how I can just delete everything on it, that seemed simplest to me, delete it all, and start over. I delete the stuff, but it’s still there!!! I hate it.
I didn’t sync it with musicmatch, it did it all by itself. That’s the problem, and I want that stuff off!
I don’t want itunes right now, i’ve got good stuff on this computer but not that musicmatch stuff. Grrrr.
Mr. D, the shuffle I got was the same price as a Sony , I got this one because it was the smallest-space is at a premium in my work jeep-it seemed the least likely to be in the way of my working.
My suggestion would be to check the settings for Musicmatch and see if there is an auto-sync option anywhere for mp3 players. That needs to be turned off so you can manually manage what goes on the ipod. If it’s set to on it throws everything in there.
Well, I looked and didn’t see anything like that…but! , I did see how to get that crap off there(it’s stuff that was automatically there, not mine) and it’s off that spot anyway, now on maybe getting it off the ipod.
In the itunes app on your computer, uncheck all the stuff you don’t want, and then synchronise your ipod. When it does, only the tracks that remain checked will will still be on your ipod.
I’m about ready to call it a night on this. A computer person(daughter’s beau) tells me that I need more memory on my computer, he fooled around on here a long time and hopefully, it’ll be working better, and I’ll be learning what I need to do with this ipod thingy in the meantime.
scream.
