Loading to a different IPOd

[qwertyqwerty]

I have an I pod and my parents do also.

What is the easiest way for me to load songs from my computer (assocaited w/ my IPOD) on to their Ipod (asocaited w/ their computer) while still allowing both of us to maintain the normal relationships btw. our computers and our ipods?

I am asuming that I cant simply plug theirs into my computer and have everything be fine and dandy....

Actually you can just plug it in and all will be fine. If you use different computers to sync music after that thoughyou will need to put the iPod into manual sync mode in iTunes. Hope this helps.

if the iTunes is set to auto sync, as soon as you commect any 'foreign' iPod, the contents of that iPod will be replaced by what's in iTunes. if you want to start swapping tunes between different iPods and different computers you need to make sure that syncing is always set to manual, or you try and manage it through playlists. try doing as search in the forums as there have been numerous people that have achieved this, across all platforms. also check out the 'help' section at the top of the page for these links...
