Anyway...

I'm adding songs to someone's iPod for them, and when I update her iPod, it adds my library songs to her iPod. I have certain songs from cds that I want to put on her iPod, not the songs from my library. Can I add songs to her iPod without having all my library songs update instead of the ones she wants?

An iPod can only be linked to one iTunes library, so you'd have to add the songs from the CD's to her library, and then update the iPod.

When you hook up the ipod to the computer, you have the option of manually updating your ipod or having your ipod automatically updated. Having it automatic adds your whole library, when you do it manually, you just drag the songs to the ipod icon.

But even if its set to manual, it can still only be tied to one iTunes library.

aren't there free third party softwares that will let you do that?

If you can, put the songs from the CD onto your library. BUT, dont update. Instead, COPY the songs from your library that you want to put on your friends IPod, and then PASTE them in the IPod.

Theres one made by the same company that did irivirum explorer> Red Chair.
