How do I synch with 2 PC's that have different libraries without losing songs on my iPod?

You can't actually sync to more than one computer, because then you'll be out of sync with the other, right?

What is it you're trying to do?

I do most of my iTunes stuff at home, but occasionally I may want to buy a song while I'm at work, so the library here will be very small in comparison to my home library. I believe that if I set the preferences on both PC's to update manually then it would work, but I lose the nice automated sync.

I don't think so, I think you can only connect 1 iPod to 1 iTunes library.

You would have to copy the song from your work onto your iPod as Data, and then copy it off the iPod onto your home computer.

Then you can get it loaded on the Ipod as audio.

There are workarounds I believe... but this is the simple legal option.

I checked the Nano manual and it says this will work.

I stand corrected.
I have even done that with my old 1st Gen iPod...

I should think before I type next time.
