Open the folder the files are in ... the shared or saved folder i would imagine and select and drag the files into iTunes in order to add them to the iTunes LIBRARY, or alternatively add the folder to the library from iTunes> file > add to library.

I hope that helps :)

The music must be added to the iTunes library from your save folder. Having it in a shared Frostwire tunes section will not sync the tunes with iPod.

I hope that helps ..please let me know if you need any more help :)

I just bought an Ipod. How do I migrate my work tunes to my home computer without overwriting? I downloaded itunes on both my home and work computers, but every time I plug in my ipod, I get a question about overwriting current ipod folders with the new ones. Someone tell me there is a way to marry my home ipod tunes with my work ipod tunes.

@deannali,

Please tell us your operating system, on both computers. There are a few options for you :)

The simplest thing to do is to set your ipod options to manually manage music and videos, but in the long run this could become confusing.

So .... Personally, I would enable disc use on the ipod, load the new "work" tunes on the ipod as data. Go home .. import the new songs into "home" itunes and load the ipod from home.

I believe you can sometimes sync both computers' itunes, but not sure how .. They may both need to be macs ... a possible investigation looms :-)

I just want to share also a very useful free application that I use as alternate program in transferring songs to your ipod. Its is called Floola. Tried it and 100% safe.

You must move the files from your save folder not the Frostwire library. It is described in the first post ... again .. to find the saved files .. select and highlight an item in your Frostwire library. That will take you to the file itself.
