Can you put music on from CD's and not just itunes? Can we load songs from CD's she already has, or do you have to purchase songs from itunes only?

iPods can play a variety of different media types, not just material downloaded from itunes. You will have to "rip" your CDs, which will basically copy them to your computer. After that is done, they can be loaded on the iPod. I have a mac, so I can't speak for PCs, but when I insert a CD, itunes gives me the option to import (read: rip) the CD with the click of a button. Importing a CD should take less than 5 minutes. One thing I have done is change the default encoder (itunes preferences -&gt; advanced -&gt; importing tab) from AAC (apple format) to mp3 (which is more common), but that's entirely up to the user. I'd recommend you swing by an apple store, they'll be able to answer any other questions you may have and can probably give you a demo.

Yes, I've. Taken songs off my cd's and are now on my itunes account. I tranfered my music to my computer then opened them to play in itunes, itunes does the rest and stores them in your itunes account

No, but you can import your CD music into your iTunes and listen to it that way. I've done that with all my old CDs as CDs are simply old technology.

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.

iPods can be filled w cd music. You just upload your CDs to your iTunes account and then sync your iPod to iTunes. My iPod is probably 70% music from CDs.

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.

if the music cd is readen by the unit, you can copy music from the cd to the usb (Only in that way) but it is very basic you can`t choose bit/rate or format... I prefer Itunes or any other ripping program in a computer...

Don't remember which songs were on there. I just put ones on that my granddaughter likes. Easy to transfer from itunes or amazon cloud. Just drag and drop.

"I use the itunes store to download FREE video and audio PODCASTS. I dont buy my music from itunes because if something happens to my computer, I'm afraid I'll lose all those tunes I bought."You can back up your songs from iTunes on a disc.

I used iTunes and it was easy for me. You should be able to just load the cds you want to listen to onto iTunes and then drag them over to the shuffle (within iTunes).

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 :)

First off, Itunes stink but I did have many songs that I downloaded from them. The easiest way is to get a CD that you can rewrite to. You burn the CD with your desired songs. Then you RIP the CD with Windows Media Player (select MP3 format before ripping), then go and rename the files to the original song titles. Since you can only fit so many songs on a CD, you then have to erase it do the process again. I now use Amazon to download music. You don't have to go through the hassle of converting to MP3.

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.

Actually yes you can. I bought two for my daughters and anywhere including itunes that they find music the download without a problem.I don't know the technical differences besides brand name. However, the sound quality is good, also has files that can be stored so you can add more music.

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.

Yep. You should be able to import the tracks from the CD to your iTunes library.
