You need to get on Apple.com and download I-Tunes for PC. This will allow you to put CD's and buy songs offf the I-Tunes store also.Good Luck

I found the Ipod nano 5generation to be the best Ipod I've ever owned. Have been through 5, why five you ask? The other couldn'tm keep up with my sports. Ipod works and will be with me for a long time. Highly recomend. Cost might seem high, but you sure do get what you pay for!

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

Thanks for the info, guys. I use Windows XP, plan on downloading well over 4GB in musical CDs, audiobooks, and mp3's, so, if I'm reading you right, I SHOULD reformat to NTFS. Is this correct? And thanks again for your help.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

I realize this may not work for everyone, but I have 2 daughters and we all three share the same i-tunes library on our desktop computer at home (which is backed up to an external hard drive for extra storage). We set up folders for each of us (Mom-workout, Mom-Old Jams, S-Country, S-Old Stuff, V-Disney, etc) and selected the "manual sync" option on our Ipods. You can have several Ipods on a library so it's really easy.... Then, we can drag and drop the songs from our library onto our individual play lists as we choose. When you plug in your Ipod, you select the playlists you want to sync only. It's pretty simple and convenient for us. AND, we are not purchasing duplicates or uploading CD's multiple times. Good Luck!

Mark thanks for saying that you hadn't tried it, cause I was feeling really stupid that I had not put an audio in mine either. The kids' music is all on iPod and hard drive (streamed, when it works...). I hardly get to play all my CDs any more and after all this $$ just spent, I think I deserve it. Maybe I will just burn a bunch of Blu-rays of the CDs now that they came out with a burner/sw to do so on the Mac. Spending $ as fast as I earn it, but what is money for? Oh yeah, college...

I have both a Dell laptop and a MacBook. All of my music is on the Mac therefore I use the Mac's iTunes to setup play lists and download music to the Shuffle. You can download music from you PC, but you will need to go to the Apple website and download the iTunes first (it's free). Next you will need to set up an iTunes account (it's free too, but you will need to register a credit card - they are hoping that you will eventually buy music from Apple but you don't have to). Once you have iTunes and an account you can manage music for the Shuffle. I don't know if iTunes will automatically pull music from your PC or if you will need to import your music. You can check the Apple website for help on that or do a quick Google search to answer that question. Both my children enjoy their Shuffles. May I will give you one more piece of advice with putting the music onto the Shuffle? Don't simply transfer CDs straight to the Shuffle - instead create individual playlists in iTunes and have them transferred onto the Shuffle. That will give you the power to have the specific playlist "named" when you wish to listen to it. If you simply transfer CDs onto the Shuffle the music will play but you will not be able to have each CD named when searching. (I hope I am making sense here - this is harder to put into words than to tell people in writing.) If there are any more questions you can ask and I will see if I can answer them.

Unless your gift is going to someone who has (or wants to have) an HUGE collection of music files, or is likely to buy or rent a lot of Apple iTunes movies, 16GB should be more than adequate for the "average" person's onboard library storage needs. On the other hand there is no way to upgrade to more flash memory on any model iPod touch, so an extra 100 bucks if you can afford it for an additional 16GB of storage space may come in handy some day. You can always externally store a larger number of tranportable file from a MAC or PC if your storage capacity exceeds 8 or 16GBs in the older model touches.

I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.

The Gemini Doctor himself says that you need a CD player as an audio source.... what is this world coming to? You're actually going to need a full blown record player as a source, as digital is for losers. Digital isn't really for losers, it just seems like there's no reason to get an analog amp if you're going to use a digital source. Generally analog people don't like their signal being converted back and forth and losing some of that sweet, sweet warmth to the digital mittleman. Sure you could use a .flac recording that's "lossless" but is it really? I'd rather not find out and spin the black circle when I want a really rich music listening experience and leave that .mp3 malarky for when I'm on the go. From here on out you won't find me without my record player in my place of residence. Anyway, you're going to need 1) a record player 2) records to play on that record player 3) speakers or headphones 4) this device or something that accomplishes the same task

Do the LPs transfer directly to CDs? Or do they need to go into a computer and get burned to a CD. (I don't even know if my computer has a CD burner.) If can email me it is:j sidwell at Tampa Bay dot rr dot com

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)?
