iPodders: If I dump the iTunes library on my Mac >

[mr_hat]

to reclaim disc space, then say add back one CD, will updating my iPod cause it to dump the library, too?

Seems like it shouldn't -- there must be a way to prevent that, right?

1. Make sure you have synchronization turned off

I never sync my iPod with my library for a number of reasons, so I have complete, albeit manual, control over both.

2. no, you can do it

I hear. something to do with disabling auto-updating.
