Do Ipods only use Itunes to add music?

Well, to answer your question very directly, no, you don't necessarily need iTunes to add music to your iPod; there are many alternative ways of doing so, for example, the iPod plugin for Winamp. I hate iTunes and its invasive memory footprint, so this is how I did it when I actually used my iPod. Although, your question seems to assume that iTunes would force you to buy music in order to put it on your iPod. You can still use iTunes and use it to load all of the hundreds of CDs you've already pirated. :D It gives you the option to purchase things from the iTunes store, but I don't see any point in doing so; if I'm paying for music, I want something tangible, not crappy 128kbps AAC files. And of course, I've pirated a lot more music than you have, but please try your best to heed the digital pirates' honor code and purchase any music that you find you really like. I have tens of thousands of MP3s, and I listen to maybe a few hundred of them on a regular basis. These are the albums that I have bothered to purchase, and I can say I never would have found them had I not pirated them first.

A USB CONNECTOR. I transferred songs by buying them on iTunes and syncing the iTunes to my iPod. It would load my songs that way. You can ask Questions under help feature to walk you through

I've never used iTunes. I primarily play music via my SamSung Note II with a couple players, including 2Player although now and then, I also use Media Player from my laptop and "play to" my speakers.

I have never used iTunes so I can't say. I usually but my digital music through the Amazon site. Sorry I could not be more help.

no, just make sure you leave the song in your itunes playlist (and stop it deleting automatically in your options settings). it will have a little exclamation point next to it but as long as you dont actually delete it from the playlist it wont delete it from your ipod. I dont have space to hold all the music on my ipod on my pc so i did exactly this.

I don't use I tunes but it will allow it from media played which is obviously native to most of the PC operating, sorry not an apple fan!

I'm pretty sure these early generation iPods won't run the versions of iOS that have Siri. As far as getting the music on, you can sync this with iTunes just like your current iPod.

I never tried to use ipods with it, but it has an AUX input, I guess you can plug any music player into it.

Ipod Shuffles must be used in conjunction with the iTunes program but moving your music files over to the iTunes program should be pretty quick and easy. If you have any trouble there are guides online that explain the process well. --Underwater Audio Customer Service

Yes you can add your CD's to your IPOD without the internet. You will need ITunes though. If you have the program already, it's very easy. Go into your preferences under "Edit". Hit the tab for Advanced, than within this section, key on the tab for Importing. In this section is where you tell your computer to copy the songs to ITunes. There are 3 drop-down menus you need to change to allow this. Once there you just move them to your IPOD.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I have used other programs to find music and then I tell itunes to add that folder to it's library. Then itunes simply converts whatever music files it is "allowed" to convert into it's own format so it can be used by the ipod. I've only had a few music files that could not be converted for whatever reason, copyright protection I suppose.

No. You can only download iTunes for the iphone, ipad, ipod, or your computer or laptop! I owned this player in the past and I do not recommend it. It's junk and very slow.

Yes, you do. Once it is entered into iTunes, it stays. Sometimes iTunes will even add the album art, but not if the songs are not already in their library.

I'm not sure, as I have not used Windows media. I have only loaded music using my itunes library. I would perhaps check on the Apple website to see what is says about Windows media and the iPod shuffle, as whatever you can do withe the land-based iod shuffle, you can do with this iPod.
