Richard,
The default iTunes mode is for the general simpleton who has to have iTunes sync everything automatically. Turning off sync everything clears the iPod ready for manually updating.

Yeah, people keep saying that, but I've spent only an hour
trying to discover how to "turn off" this "feature". The UI
design drove me so crazy that I gave up after an hour.

If this is really possible, surely someone has published a web
page that shows how to remove the fangs from iTunes.

When you connect you iPod to the computer iTunes will open at the iPod summary page. There are several tabs at the top of the screen, Summary, Music, Movies, TV Shows etc. Click on a tab then uncheck the Sync option. Do that for all the types of media you want to Sync manually by going to the relevant tab and unchecking Sync its sync option.

Uploading is simply a case of selecting the tracks from the list view or even dragging an album cover from the cover view area to the iPod icon in the devices area of the blue column on the left of the iTunes window.

To delete from the iPod just click on Music (under the iPod icon) and the tracks will be displayed in list view. Select the tracks by the usual means, cmd-click for multiple or shift-click for a range, then hit delete. Job done..
