Ipod shuffle silver 2 gb questions. I just bought it today, and trying to upload from itunes to my ipod shuff?

I synced it to my ipod, and it told me how many gb's I had left on my ipod. I then hit the option where it says make it in smallest form or whatever. I hit apply and then it amke it so I had alot more room on my ipod left. I still have yet to see if my songs are on my ipod because my ipod is charging at that time. Right after I went and turned my ipod on and I got nothing. Messed with it a bit and got nothing. Is the green light usppose to be solid, because it was not. But it was making different light colors as i pressed ons. I am getting no sound of my speaker, but it said I have stuff on my ipod because it says I only hav a certain amount left in space. But I have barely used any of the 2 gb. Ummmm, should I restore it and then sync all the 125 videos that I have and not hit the form in the smallest as I did before which made it so I had alot of room left. Any ideas on why I am not getting any sound out of my speaker. My ipod is still charging, so I am gonna wait a bit before I mess with it. I am hopeless on this..thank you.
