Get ANYTHING except a ipod and you'll have no problems syncing or transferring mp3s. I recommend getting a cheap $20 player, so when it breaks(and it will) you're not out a crapload of money. Also, you don't have the problem of itunes deleting your music like it has been known to do.

You will have to put into the itunes program. Then you can put them on the ipod. They have to be in itunes first because it converts the songs into the type of format that the ipod can use. The can't read MP3s.

The main reason I got this is because I didn't want to have to deal with Apple and their 'exclusive' itunes. I had my library set up in Windows Media Player, so it is nice this device works with it. I'd say it is a great alternative to the ipod. Only problem I've ever had was after 6 years the headphone jack wore out.

With any iPod you have to first install iTunes on a personal computer. Then you load you cd into your iTunes program. Then you plug your iPod into the PC and download your music files. So the answer is yes.

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

So this means whatever music I have on my compute I just have to transfer to Itunes? Not to bad....I can do that!!

Also, you can download iTunes for free from Apple to try without having an iPod. Take a test drive with it and see how it works. This may help answer some of your questions.http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/

How ever you can drop and drag your music. I buy tunes from amazon then export them to windows where I can sync the Sandisk and drag the music I want to it.

What is the difference between MP3 downloads and ITune downloads? Can they both go on an Ipod Classic? Thanks.

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

I usually use windows media player, but you can use anything really. Itunes works and just copying from windows explorer works also. Hope that helps.

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

I just bought my first apple product and talked to the sales person about that very thing. From what I understand you can only use itunes downloads on apple product. However, if you can make CDs from your itune files you can turn around and load them on your computer and put them on an MP3. I have every CD I every bought on my computer and put them all on my MP3. However, I can not recommend buying this product because mine never worked right. I can't turn up the volume enough to hear it well through headphones or speakers. I have bought one of these brand new and they are a good product but this one is reconditioned and it must not have been done right. :/ I just bought my first apple product and talked to the sales person about that very thing.

So can you just drag your computer's MP3 files over to load them into your iPod? Or at least specify which files rather than getting the Winamp program and plugin?

I am not sure and they might have changed but isn't iTunes for IPods only as they use a different format. The Mac OS X version of iTunes can also synchronize with a small number of discontinued digital music players,[47] while the Windows version will support only the iPod.[48] The synchronization is limited, however, in that the iPod is the only digital music player compatible with Apple's proprietary FairPlay digital rights management technology, and thus most music purchased through the iTunes Store can only be played on an iPod.

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.
