...If I've already synced an iPod with one computer's library, can I sync it with another computer's library without erasing the media that was already on there?

inb4ipodssuck, it's not mine, my younger brothers.

If it means anything its a current gen 4GB Nano

kthx

I am pretty sure the whole concept of syncing it with a computer means that whats on the ipod = whats on the computer.

In other words, anything not on the computer you sync with is erased.

That is exactly what happens.  Pretty rubbish but you just have to put up with it.  Not sure if there's a program or hack of some sort that would get round it.

i've never actually used this myself so i'm not sure if it will do what you are looking for, but give it a try, it works with ipod's:

This man knows what he is talking about.  Just uncheck the automatic sync in your update options.

The easiest solution.

And if you don't want to use iTunes, use ephPod.

Hmm I'll try that.

Thanks for the help everyone, but I've just erased and re-synced.

Cookiez for everyone

When you plug your ipod in go to settings and turn off auto sync, then you can take music off of multiple computers.

While not the best option... in the area where you choose what to sort by (artist, album, ect...) you can right click and add/remove a catigory...

One of the categories available is "Date added"
Once you get things up to date you can just periodically check the most recent stuff on your itunes against the most recent stuff added to the ipod.
