After you have listened to all the songs on your iPod nano, you might want to delete some to make room for new songs. The iPod, a portable music player made by Apple, has a touch-sensitive display and has a capacity of 8GB or 16GB, depending on the configuration. You cannot delete songs using the device; you have to connect your iPod Nano to your computer and launch Apple's free iTunes application to add or delete music.
