How to Set iTunes to Automatically Update Songs on an iPod
iTunes, a software program for managing audio files, and iPod, an audio player, were designed in such a way that they communicate with each other right after get in contact with each other. When you connect an iPod to computer, the synchronisation process begins automatically, and the synchronisation process makes the iPod’s library match the library in iTunes. This means that it is possible to set iTunes to automatically update songs on the iPod, and make it easier for you to manage your songs lists. You just need to update the list on your computer using iTunes and the list on your iPod will automatically get updated every time you connect it with your computer.

After you are done with downloading iTunes, you need to install it. For that purpose, you will have to double click the downloaded setup file and you will see the installation window appearing on your screen. Follow the onscreen prompts and select “I Agree” at the “Terms and Agreement” section, or else, you will not be allowed to install the software program on your computer. Complete the installation and launch the program by double clicking its icon on the desktop, or in the “Start” menu.

Now you need to enhance your library by adding your favourite songs and creating different playlists. Here, you should only try to add music files that you legally downloaded, or ripped from your personal CD. You can use different applications to legally download music files.
However, it is recommended that you download music files directly from iTunes, as this will ensure compliance of the music files with your iPod device. -
