You can put music on an iPod shuffle using iTunes, or you can purchase songs directly from the iTunes Store. You can also transfer music from your computer’s hard drive onto the iPod shuffle.

What you need

Connecting your iPod Shuffle
To get started, connect your iPod shuffle to your computer. If it’s your first time connecting the iPod shuffle to your computer, iTunes will open automatically.
iTunes will ask if you want to sync your iPod shuffle with iTunes. Syncing means that iTunes will copy any new music, podcasts, or other audio files that you add to your iTunes library onto your iPod shuffle. It also means that any changes that you make to playlists on your iPod shuffle will be copied back to iTunes the next time you connect your iPod shuffle to your computer.
Click the “Sync” button to start syncing. If you don’t want to sync right now, click “Cancel.”
iTunes settings
There are a few different ways that you can put music on your iPod Shuffle, but the most common way is to use iTunes. You can either sync your entire iTunes library with your iPod Shuffle, or you can choose specific songs, albums, or playlists to put on your iPod Shuffle.
To start, connect your iPod Shuffle to your computer using the USB cable that came with your iPod. Once it is connected, open up iTunes. If you don’t have iTunes, you can download it for free from Apple’s website.
Once iTunes is open, click on the “iTunes” menu and then click on “Preferences.” In the Preferences menu, click on the “Devices” tab. Make sure that the “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” checkbox is not checked. If it is checked, uncheck it and then click “OK.”
Now that iTunes is set up to sync with your iPod Shuffle, you can either sync your entire iTunes library or just selected songs, albums, or playlists. To sync your entire iTunes library, click on the “Library” option in the left sidebar of iTunes and then select the “Music” option. A list of all of the music in your iTunes library will appear in the main window. Click on the “Sync” button in the upper-right corner of iTunes. Your entire iTunes library will now be synced with your iPod Shuffle!
If you want to only sync certain songs, albums, or playlists with your iPod Shuffle, click on the appropriate option in the left sidebar of iTunes (songs, albums, or playlists) and then select the items that you want to sync. Once you have selected everything that you want to sync, click on the “Sync” button in the upper-right corner of iTunes and only those items will be synced with your iPod Shuffle!

Troubleshooting
There are a couple of ways to load music onto your iPod Shuffle. The first is by using iTunes, and the second is by using the Apple Music app. If you’re having trouble getting your music to transfer from your computer to your iPod, there are a few things you can try.
First, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can check this by opening iTunes and going to the “Help” menu. If there is an option to “Check for Updates,” click it and follow the prompts to install any available updates.
Once you’ve updated iTunes, try connecting your iPod to your computer and syncing again. If that doesn’t work, try resetting your iPod. To do this, disconnect your iPod from your computer and turn it off by holding down the power button for about 5 seconds. Once it’s turned off, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on by holding down the power button again.
If resetting your iPod doesn’t work, you may need to restore it using iTunes. To do this, connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes. Then, click on the “Summary” tab for your iPod and click the “Restore” button. This will erase all of the content on your iPod, so be sure to backup any files you want to keep before doing this.

Then, simply drag and drop the files or folders you want to transfer into the iPod shuffle window.
