First, make sure you have iTunes on your computer. Open it up and insert your CD of music. iTunes should pop up a little window asking you if you want to import the songs. Once you tell it to go ahead, it will take the songs from the CD, convert them into the format the iPod uses and save to your computer. Then, you can hook up your iPod and sync your music to it. Hope this helps.

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

Great Queston! My Wife gave me an Ipod for Christmas, I have around 1,000 cd's, I've almost loaded all of them on my computer. My Ipod is less than half full, my computer is maxed! I want to load more!

You can indeed add the Nano to your existing Itunes account. It will recognize it as a new Ipod and you just have to answer a few set up questions and you will be good to go.

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

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.

Mine was broken, it never worked. You suppose to just put in ipod mode and it will start playing. I chucked my broken devise in the garbage. I regret ordering it only throw Amazon.com but it was the same price as in the store 9.99.

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

I have heard of ITunes but never was on that site yet. You would download from Lime wire to Itunes web site??? How?? We have MP3s now so I just dowload from Lime wire to my Library on my computer so with the Ipod you go from Limewire to Itunes Library???? Or is there 3 steps with the Ipod? Limewire then Itunes then your computers music Library???

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.

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.

After you downlaod the itunes software into your computer it is simple. Load the cd's in your computer. Download the cd to your itunes program. Then hookup your Ipod to your computer by the USB cable and start downloading. It's that simple. The Itunes sotftware will tell you and ask you certain questions. Your Ipod has certain setting features that you can play with to make downloading eaiser. But she's 12, I think let her have it and well, she will be done in no time.

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!
