Hey. I just plugged my shuffle into my PC, opened iTunes, and my iPod is now empty… I know what happened: I loaded the songs onto my iPod, then deleted them from my Library. When I plugged my iPod in today, iTunes saw that the songs weren’t in my Library any more, so it deleted them from my iPod 😑 WHY?? I’ve looked around on the internet, and apparently there’s an option to ‘Manually update my iPod’, but I can’t seem to find it. I think the Shuffle has difference Preferences to regular iPods…

Help?
