Question: I am getting a second iPod and I want to sync it with the content I have bought from the iTunes store. Do I need to have a separate account for this and do I face limits?
Answer: Absolutely not. If you purchased music tracks of videos, you can sync them all with your new iPod from the same account once the content has been paid and downloaded. The files are free from digital management rights.
If you want your playlists to be different on the devices, however, your settings should favor manual management for content.
The way to do this is to connect your iPod to the Mac with your USB cable. In the iTunes application, you will see the device in the left column. Click on the device name or icon once. Then click on the Summary tab. Scroll to the Options area and make sure to check the Manually manage music and videos checkbox. This will allow you to set up different playlists, and perhaps entirely different content, on different devices.
Enjoy!
