How to Sync Music to an Ipod Nano

The iPod nano allows you to take your music with you wherever you go and will sync songs, audiobooks and podcasts from your computer. This process is possible through the iTunes software application. When you plug your iPod into the computer, the iTunes application opens and you can begin to create your music collection and sync tunes from the iTunes store, CDs or other music already on your computer.
