- 3). Open iTunes and let the program find your iPod Shuffle. It appears in menu on the left side. Click "File" in iTunes and click "Add Folder to Library." Select your music folder, where all of your music files are stored. Wait for the selections to automatically import into iTunes.
- 4). Highlight the songs you want to import to your iPod Shuffle in your iTunes Library by clicking "Ctrl" and your left-mouse button simultaneously. When done, drag the collected files to the iPod Shuffle icon on the left-hand menu. When a frame is made around the Shuffle icon, release the button and let the import begin.
