Find the files you want to put on your iPod on your hard drive. Select them. Drag them directly to your iPod within iTunes.
That works. Thank you, Bitt!
Now if there were only a way to just treat the iPod as a USB drive, create my own directory structure on it and drag and delete files with Windows Explorer...
Does anybody know why my audiobooks, even though I defined them in iTunes as audiobooks (see posts above about getting the iPod to remember file location when recharging) and they show up in iTunes in the audiobook category (as opposed to "Music"), in the iPod itself they still show up in "Music", and the "Audiobooks" category (which I had to enable in "Settings") is empty?
