However, you may be worried about losing all of the music on your iPod if you sync it to a new iTunes. Luckily, there is a way that you can sync your iPod to a new iTunes without losing any of your music.

Once all of the songs are selected, click on “File” in the menu at the top of iTunes and then select “Add File to Library.” This will add all of the selected songs to your iTunes library.

Tips for syncing your iPod to a new iTunes
If you’re moving to a new computer, or if you’ve lost your iTunes library, you may be wondering how to sync your iPod to a new iTunes. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. If you have an iPod classic, nano, or shuffle, you can use Apple’s iPod Migration feature to transfer your music and other media to your new iTunes library.
2. If you have an iPod touch, you can use iTunes to transfer your music and other media to your new iTunes library.
3. If you want to start fresh with a new iTunes library, you can create a new one and then sync your iPod to it. This will erase any existing content on your iPod, so make sure you’ve backed up any files that you want to keep before doing this.
4. You can also use iCloud to sync your music and other media between multiple computers and devices. This can be a convenient way to keep all of your devices up-to-date without having to manually transfer files between them.
Troubleshooting syncing issues
If you’re having trouble syncing your iPod with iTunes, there are a few things you can try. First, check to see if you have the latest version of iTunes. If not, download and install the latest version from Apple’s website.
Next, try restarting both your computer and your iPod. If that doesn’t work, try resetting your iPod. To do this, hold down the “Menu” and “Select” buttons simultaneously for about 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Once your iPod has rebooted, try syncing it with iTunes again.
If you’re still having trouble, there may be an issue with the content on your iPod itself. Try deleting some of the content on your iPod and then sync it with iTunes again. This will update the content on your iPod with the latest content from iTunes.
Conclusion
Once you have your new iTunes account set up, you can connect your iPod and sync it to your new library. If you follow these steps, you shouldn’t have any trouble syncing your iPod to a new iTunes account without losing any of your music.
