Can you put CD's onto an iPod without having the Internet? I am thinking about getting an iPod, since I have well over 1000 CD's and would love to put my favorites on the Ipod. However, I have gotten rid of my landline at home (and just using my cell phone) and got rid of my Internet. So my question is, if I get an iPod (like the Apple Ipod Nano 8GB), can I put my CD's onto my iPod without using the Internet (like iTunes)? Or is there a way to put my CD's on their through my computer without using the Internet? Please help!!! Can you put CD's onto an iPod without having the Internet?

I believe that Itunes will not identify the tracks without internet access. All the tracks will be in digital code. You do not need highspeed but do need internet access of some kind when you import the cds to id the songs, the album, and get album cover artwork (if you want it). I believe there is a way to manually enter the track information, but this will take forever even if you have a small number of albums that you want to import 15-25.

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.

No, ITunes will not label the tracks for you. But it doesn't take all that much time to type in the info on your own. I do it all the time because my ITunes store will not connect or let me log in. Yes, a nuisance, but worth it to have my CD's on my IPOD.

My experience has been that if you try to put a CD on iTunes w/out being on the Internet, iTunes cannot access Gracenote, which will label the tracks for you on iTunes. Otherwise they just come across as "Track 1, Track 2, Track 3", etc. Supposedly you can go back and label them but I haven't figured out how to do that. Also, I found out the hard way that accessing Gracenote isn't a guarantee that it actually can label the tracks; with some older CDs I've got the "Track 1, Track 2", thing anyway. Laurie

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

It is my understanding that you must convert the CD to an mp3 format. And then you have to get it into I Tunes. Do yourself a favor.....buy a Phillips mp3 player and then loading tunes from anywhere (and most formats.

I don't believe that the device has internet capability so you can't use i-Tunes directly. However, you can download from the internet to your computer and then upload music from your computer to the device through a USB port. It acts like a flash drive.

No CD needed. But you just need to have Bluetooth (a special wireless) your computer. If you don't, you will have to buy an external USB Bluetooth adapter, and it may or not use a CD.

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.

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

You don't need the CD in computer when you play the game. You can copy the CD in your hard drive, or start game from CD then you can take the CD out while continue playing. Please let me know if any further questions.

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.

Call up Itunes. Insert CD into the CD drive. Itunes will ask if you want to import the CD. You answer yes and Itunes will copy the CD. Next step, attach your IPOD to the computer and Itunes should automatically sync the CD to your IPOD. A very easy process.

I have never used it. I plug in my IPod to the aux jacks, so I have no need for the cd, sorry.

Well, no and yes. No, not the way it is here, but yes, if you buy something called a Wave Connect Kit. It costs about a hundred bucks, but as I see it, a person who usually listens to music on an ipod is not as likely to need a 3 CD changer, so you could buy the Wave System without the 3 CD changer (at about half the price) and then add the hundred dollar Connect Kit and play your ipod on it. And you'd still have a CD player, but you would only have one CD at a time in it. Probably not a problem for most people who listen to ipods. I don't have an ipod or any kind of MP3 player, Well, I have one, I've just never taken the time to learn how to use it and since I don't listen to music except when I'm at home or in my car, a CD player works fine for me. But the basic Wave system (without the CD changer) and the Wave Connect Kit might be just what you need.

You can not load a CD collection. It has a single CD drawer you can use like a standard CD player. It has AM/FM radio and a dock for the older style Apple products. I plug my iPhone 4S into it and use iTunes. It looks quite nice and adds a lot to room.

It does not have any place to put in a CD. Only way you can listen to a CD is if you have a portable cd player, and then you can take the output through the Aux cable and connect it to this one and listen to music through the speakers. It can act as a speaker for a cd player using the Aux. cable, for someone that does not want to use the headphones, or if multiple people want to listen to the cd over the speaker.

If you are using it to download music or play music you've stored in the cloud you will need an internet connection. If you are simply using it as a media player I believe you can use it without an internet connection. To be honest I've found it to be rather bulky and kind've clumsy so I've only used it to download music and then uninstalled the app

I can only give a guess because I dislike iTunes. I had it once on my computer and it took over everything. Possibly the program to play the songs on your mp3 have to be played through a program on your computer, provided by iTunes. I have loaded hundreds of songs off CD's and never had a problem. Can you make a CD from your iTunes on your computer, and then do a 'copy of that CD to your mp3?
