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!

You might want to try the shuffle if you don't have a lot of music (it's 1 gigabyte, 240 songs for $79) or the nano (4 gigabytes, 1000 songs for $149, 8 gigabytes, 2000 songs for $199) if you don't want to pay 300 or 400 dollars for the iPod touch.

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

I second the motion towards Rockbox. I just got an 80gb 5.5 on ebay specifically to put Rockbox on it, and it's fantastic. If anyone out there has a 5.5 and you're at all annoyed by iTunes, and/or by its limitations on file formats supported, and the fact that it doesn't actually let you transfer your own files onto the player, you should seriously consider checking out Rockbox and upgrading your player to a digital powerhouse. Even after you've put Rockbox on, you can still boot into the original Apple firmware rather easily, if you're concerned about that.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs. Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

yes, you can usually tranfer up to 80 min.of music onto one CD. We love ours. Nice to have option to listen to albums 30 yrs old in the car. They sound great.

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.

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

Hey Deanna, I purchased this item on Sept 9th, and I am still using it. I am happy to share with you my experiences thru which you will find the answers to your questions. Firstly, I would care to let you know why I purchased this item. I love to listen to my favorites musics on the go. I had used transmitters of the other so-called brands, and ended up using a tape adapter, but I was not satisfied because they died earlier. So, I purchased this device. Secondly, I tell you the good things about it. Whatever channel you choose, the transmission is 100% clear with no intercession with the others. The transmission goes widely to a point that another car can stick on your musics with no interruption. It reads everything mentioned, and even a flash drive. It plays alphabetically, so you can choose what music must be played first by naming the music with an A...or a number 1..2..3... I can't tell about the MP4, because I don't have any file in that format. Overall, I would just suggest that you give it try...and then...tell me whether or not my answer was reasonable to you. Thanks!

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.

An MP3 Player is not a ridiculous gift for a 6 year-old. My son is getting IlluStory for his B-Day and he has an iPod Touch as well. One thing does not affect the other! The world now offers us many possibilities and I am sure kids that have parents aware of what is around will be successful and learn to use all the tools they need now and in the future!

I purchased the 30gb ipod and had all sorts of songs (over a 1200), movies (at least 15), tv shows(over 25) podcasts (countless) and games. I then realized 30gb wasn't enough for me so i'm going to purchase the 80gb. I guess it depends on the individual. I hope this helps!

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

I added the optional 8 gig card. I must have about 600 CDs on it. I use it all the time.

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.
