if you put it on automatic, then everything on your itunes library will go to the ipod, and if you import more songs, they will automatically go to the ipod every time you plug it in. but on automatic you can't connect it to more than one computer.
all of these settings are in preferences in itunes [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]
