IPod nano (3rd generation) not syncing
This is the advice I tell everyone.. Don't use the iTunes library!
There are times when you do need to use it, but 98% of everything you need to do can be done right on the iPod.
When you plug-in your iPod, you should see an icon for it appear in the left window pane. You can actually edit the song info, sort, categorize, or whatever right there.
The only thing you can't do is get iTunes to automatically download the artwork for you. But, to be honest, even when I do use the library to get my artwork, the artwork never "sticks" when I move it to the iPod, and I end up manually adding it every time.
I've had an iPod in some form for at least three years now. I've never had a problem editing directly on the iPod itself, and I don't miss the library one bit.
Hope this helps.
