How to managing multiple iPods in one computer

If you have more than one iPods and want each iPod have different content, the only way that I found is managing your iPod content manually:
Step 1: Run iTunes, select main menu->Edit->Preferences, switch to Device tab, check Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods.
Disable iTunes automatic syncing for iPods

Step 2: Connect one of your iPod or iPhone to computer, select iPod or iPhone in the iTunes’s Devices list, check Manually manage music and videos and press Apply button.
Manage multiple iPods with in one iTunes

Step 3: Now you can managing your iPod and iPhone content manually. For add songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your iPod or iPhone, just drag the item to the iPod or iPhone icon in the Devices list on the left-hand side of the iTunes Window:
Manually add music to iPod

Repeat step 2 and step 3 for your other iPod or iPhone.
