Generally speaking, people will clean up their iPod with iTunes to erase the old songs and add new songs. iPod users have two ways to delete music from iPod with iTunes, and they can be helpful when iPod users want to get rid of the unwanted songs. iTunes provides automatic and manual methods to help iPod users manage the songs in their devices. When you are using the automatic way to manage iPod music, every time you connect iPod to computer with USB cable, your iPod will sync with iTunes Music library. If you have your iTunes Music library organized, you can delete unwanted music from iPod with this easy method. If you want to manually edit your iPod music, you can check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically in iTunes by clicking Edit > Preferences > Devices. Then you can manually sync the songs and playlists to your iPod with iTunes.
<p>While the album artwork is an essential part of non-digital
albums, is also useful for digital versions of music. This is especially true
of songs from the iPod Touch from photos, also known as album art; add to the
visual appeal of the songs played on the iPod Touch. If you noticed that your
songs are missing images playing on the iPod Touch, you can solve this problem by
obtaining the art in iTunes. <br />
<p><br />
<p>1. Connect your iPod Touch to your computer using the USB
cable for iPod. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Click "Start" then "All Programs" and
"iTunes." Click the "Music" option under
"Library." <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Click "Edit" then "Select All" on
iTunes. Right-click and choose "Get Album Artwork." Then click
"Get Album Artwork" when asked if you want to get the album cover. <br />
<p><br />
<p>4. Wait for iTunes to download artwork. This may take
several minutes depending on the number of albums that defect art. <br />
<p><br />
<p>5. Write the songs from iTunes to your iPod Touch. If your
iPod Touch is automatically set to sync with iTunes, iTunes automatically
copies the music. <br />
<p><br />
<p>6. Disconnect the iPod Touch after iTunes has copied the
songs. Press the "Music" on your iPod Touch and play a song to iTunes
to see the pictures added. <br />
<p>If your iPod touch is filled with songs you do not want to
hear it or not, eliminating each number is the quickest and easiest way to get
a clean slate, so you can synchronize the device with just the songs you want.
Although you do not immediately delete all your music from the device will
connect your iPod to your computer and use iTunes to delete each number to
delete all songs on your device without the songs in iTunes. <br />
<p><br />
<p>1. Connect your iPod touch to your computer and open iTunes
if it does not open automatically. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Click on your iPod touch in the iTunes window under
"Devices." <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Click "Summary" and click the box next to
"Manually manage music and videos" to check one place. <br />
<p><br />
<p>4. Click "Apply." <br />
<p><br />
<p>5. Click the arrow next to the iPod touch to the left of the
iTunes window. <br />
<p><br />
<p>6. Click on "Music" and a list of all the songs on
your iPod touch to open in the right pane of the iTunes window. <br />
<p><br />
<p>7. Hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and
click on the top of the list in iTunes and click the last song in order to
select them all. <br />

Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable. The USB port on most keyboards doesn’t provide enough power. Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your computer
Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content. Your computer must be connected to the Internet. By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.
When you get back to France, you'll need sync it with your PC. Download the latest version of iTunes then sync your iPod with your computer.
Download iTunes at apple.com/itunes Go to the iTunes store and register with Apple. Start Downloading music from iTunes. The music will be in your iTunes library after downloading the songs. Plug in your iPod to your computer. Drag the songs you want on your iPod to the name of your iPod on the left hand column. The music should be on your iPod.
ipods are only designed for itunes so windows shouldn't recognise media player, any way, the new software for ipod touches is greater, meaning your computer/windows media player wont recognise it, only itunes will.
