You get things on and off the iPod the same way you do with the iPhone. You can choose in iTunes to not have anything automatically sync to the iPod. iTunes will show that you have two devices and you can select the one you have plugged in and only put certain things on it. You do not have to enable mail on the touch. I would strongly recommend, however, that you consider saving up for the iPod Touch 6th generation. I don't know how much longer Apple will support the 5th generation and as one who has owned both, the 6 is worth it. For your mp3 books, are you using Voice Dream Reader or just treating them as books through iTunes?
Audio described movies will show up in the video app if you are transferring them with iTunes. Or, are these just mp3 files from Blind Mice or somewhere? If just mp3 files, again, Voice Dream Reader would handle them fine and you can get them on your device through DropBox rather than going through the pains of iTunes. I too have an iPhone and an iPod for similar reasons. I wanted to have a device dedicated to listening to music and reading books. I find I do other things with it, but those are the main two things.

I do not want the latest one, because I feel I just can't afford it. But also, I don't think I need all those features. So here are some questions I have. Do I have to activate male on the IPod. I receive my mail on my phone, and I really do not want it in both places. Also, I have a lot of audio described movies, is there a way to add these to the IPod? If so, how would I do this? Would they go in to a certain folder? Also, I have a lot of audiobooks in MP3 format. Would they have to go in to a certain folder as well? I guess my main question is, can any MP3 file be put on the IPod? Once I add something, is it easy to remove? Also, how do I keep photos off the IPod? Again, I want these to stay on my phone. My reason for wanting to purchase an IPod, is so I can listen to stuff without interruptions.. For instance, I have a Spotify account. I want to put the app on my IPod, and listen to the music from my Bluetooth speaker. Right now, when I listen with my phone, even though I mute the phone, some notices still come through. Even with the screen locked. So I am tired of this, and do not want it anymore. Any help with all this will be much appreciated. I may have more questions to come. Especially when it comes to ITunes. I really dislike that program. Thank you, Terri Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
