Okay, it's been a while for me, so I suppose this is no longer accurate, but when you attach the iPod, it shows up on the left column in iTunes. As I remember, either I could click on the iPod and drag music from the filesystem into the iPod's playlist area, or I could just drag music straight from the filesystem to the iPod icon. I did not have to do anything in order to enable that feature.
