I understood that this is an Apple Ipod..and you are trying to connect it to a windows bassed computer ..so ..there is no driver for apple product in windows...the connection and sync is made by Itunes...Download and installl Itunes for windows..and after that when you wil connect the Ipod..this will be visible in the Itunes and will let you add music in the Itunes Library ..and after that ..click on the ipod..(by name or device ...will be in list ) ..and on its category ..choose audio ..and sync...in this moment it will sync the music from the Itunes library into the Ipod..and every time you will want to add new music..just add them into the library and after that when you press sync ..it will sync the music that is added...but remember ..there is the possibility that if you delete some tune from library ..when you sync and if it is not there anymore.it may delete it from the Ipod..or may restore it in the library ...It is a little more strange than the usually mp3 players ..but this is the only way to work with Apple in wondows..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes lets you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. Video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format can also be added to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes From the File menu, choose one of the following choices: Mac Add to Library Windows Add File to Library Add Folder to Library Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library", iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. Then adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes preferences.
