Sorry for my silly question but what is hot men? Is it a song you want?

If the song is already on your computer and you want to transfer it to your iPod, you can always count on iTunes.

The next guidance will show you how to transfer music from computer to iPod with iTunes.

1. Connect your iPod to PC via matched USB cable. Then click the iPod icon on the left corner of the interface. To manage your media files manually, you'd better go to "Options" under "Summary" tab, cancel "Automatically sync when this iPod is connected" and check "Manually manage music and videos". Don't forget to click "Apply" when it's done.
2. Import music into iTunes library from computer by clicking "File" and then "Add File to Library". Once transferred successfully, you can select the music icon on top to see all the songs.
3. Click "Music" under "Settings" tab. Choose "Sync Music". You can either sync entire music library or selected playlists as you like. Then click "Sync" button at the bottom to transfer music from computer to iPod.

If you don't want to use iTunes, please take a look at this guide for an alternative method.
