When you sync a blank iPod to a library filled with songs, does it erase the songs?

Question by John S: When you sync a blank iPod to a library filled with songs, does it erase the songs?

I once synced a full iPod to a blank library and it erased the library’s songs without downloading them to the iPod! Stupid, I know. But “sync” implies “synchronization.”

No, the iPod is a one-way sync, except for iTunes purchases (like you have another computer and you synced a purchased song, it will sync back to your other). Your iPod will just be loaded with your songs from iTunes.
