In case your wondering why I want to use my Ipad; All my music from Itunes is on my IPad and I dont know how to transfer to my wifes IPod. Also the IPad does more in case my wife gets board when were anchored.
Should work fine, but be a lot easier to just turn on home sharing in Itunes and then you can share the files to the Ipod after syncing the Ipad. You used to be able to have five devices share from one library but haven't messed with it in a year or so.
