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!

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!

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

I have both a Dell laptop and a MacBook. All of my music is on the Mac therefore I use the Mac's iTunes to setup play lists and download music to the Shuffle. You can download music from you PC, but you will need to go to the Apple website and download the iTunes first (it's free). Next you will need to set up an iTunes account (it's free too, but you will need to register a credit card - they are hoping that you will eventually buy music from Apple but you don't have to). Once you have iTunes and an account you can manage music for the Shuffle. I don't know if iTunes will automatically pull music from your PC or if you will need to import your music. You can check the Apple website for help on that or do a quick Google search to answer that question. Both my children enjoy their Shuffles. May I will give you one more piece of advice with putting the music onto the Shuffle? Don't simply transfer CDs straight to the Shuffle - instead create individual playlists in iTunes and have them transferred onto the Shuffle. That will give you the power to have the specific playlist "named" when you wish to listen to it. If you simply transfer CDs onto the Shuffle the music will play but you will not be able to have each CD named when searching. (I hope I am making sense here - this is harder to put into words than to tell people in writing.) If there are any more questions you can ask and I will see if I can answer them.

es open your door, put In the CD and once you have your Intunes account set up It open Itunes and ask you "DO YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE DISK" Well If you want the entire CD In your Itunes say yes. IF NOT and want a single or 2 off the cd? Say no , then slide just the tracks you want Into where It says "Music" on the top left on the Itunes page. And you only use space for the tracks you really want In there. Itunes Is VERY user friendly.

***********David W. Wilkins says:What is the difference between MP3 downloads and ITune downloads? Can they both go on an Ipod Classic? Thanks. ********The biggest difference is that most music on iTunes (and most other download services) has activation DRM on it. You don't own what you're "buying".You're MUCH better off buying MP3s from Amazon's music store, which doesn't have DRM. (Note that Amazon's video store DOES have DRM). Or of course the best choice is buying a CD, which has no DRM, and the highest audio quality, and can be easily ripped at any bit rate or format you want for your iPod. ***********David W.

No it isnt just for kids..we have a blast with it. You dont need an ipod to use it...it plays regular cds as well as cd+g cds (which is usually what karaoke cds are formatted as)

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. :/

you really don't need it you can put all your music on a thumb drive and just plug it in to the face of it. I never used the CD player function since i bought this. i have a 64 gig thumb drive plugged in to mine which is more music than you can fit on 6 CD's. you can also plug in an ipod and any other mp3 player as long as you use the power and data feature.

Hello Jim just wanted to tell you this one does not do CDs. I do not know if this is a big deal it does do credit cards so maybe it will do a cd just did not want you to order something for nothing. Good luck have a good summer....

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device.Hope this Helps.Brian

I agree with you on that one. You can store a lot of music on this. I have two videos and about 1500+ songs on my ipod and have about 6.50 gb used up. 60gb would be nice but not really necessarily important unless you want tons of music and videos. If you want a couple video files and your music library it also depends on how much music you have.I have still plenty of room to put stuff on there and I have about 200 cds left. I would say if you truly need 60 gb spend the 70-80 bucks extra for 60gb but really you should only need 30.

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.

Hmmm.... why only 60?My 40G player I got 3 years ago has 36G full. And my music is on a machine that does not run windows. But, of course, I'd "upgrade" to a Zune if I weren't such a fanboy. Instead I'm going to pay an exhorbinant $100 (40%) more, and get almost 3 (267%) times as much storage because that's the kind of stupid thing we fanboys do.Further proof of my fanboy lunacy is that I'm investing more dollars into a "closed" ecosystem when I could buy something that works on a multivendor platform like Plays For Sure.But hey, it makes me feel cool and pretty.

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.

For this changer you can load 6 CDs that will be played one at a time. Strongly suggest getting extended warranty for this product as it has been unreliable. Do an online search for this model and you will see all the problems that it has.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.
