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.

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

you can't. All you can do is skip song by song, typical Apple. If you like loading your Sandisk you'll hate iTunes for sure. It's hard to just load songs by selecting them randomly. I have 25gb of music so I can't sync my 2gb ipod with iTunes - I just get the first 2gb.

I beI'd've you need to download the cd to iTunes then download from there to your iPod.

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.

From what I've been able to determine, you have to have OSX 10.5 or above (which means you should be okay since you have 10.10.1) the thing is that the info also states that you need a software download for your Mac to properly see and utilize the flash drive (not sure if the download is provided by PNY, Apple, or a third party, the info does not stipulate). This is info that I acquired while searching, as while I own several Apple products, my main computer is a PC and not a Mac of any kind. Update, the info is from the PNY website, so there is a high likelihood that the download is provided by PNY.

Since the ipods don't have input connections, the only idea that I can come up with is to import them into iTunes and then sync up the ipod to get them onto it. To import them into iTunes may require that the home movies be put on a CD in an old format (If you are lucky it might be able to read DVDs and the newer formats, but iTunes seems so persnickety)

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver.

Yes, it was easily downloaded off a mini disc. I've converted a couple cassettes to mp3 on my iPod. It's pretty easy to work.

First you have to import the CD into iTunes. (If you just put the CD in the slot and have iTunes installed on your computer, iTunes should automatically ask if you want to import the CD. Just click OK.) Once you import it, you can search your iTunes library and see all the songs from of the CD (they may or may not be accurately named, depending on the CD). Then you connect your iPod to your computer. There should be an iPod icon that appears on iTunes. From there, you just click and drag the songs you want on your iPod from the library onto the iPod icon.

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 :)

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.

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.

One program that I recommend is CloneDVDMobile by SlySoft. You do have to pay for it, but I've had it for over a year, and I've never had a problem ripping a DVD to the iPod. It's really easy to use, too.

I used iTunes. I just opened them both up and grabbed them over to the New file

I would like to help, but I don't own an iPod. I bought the drive to backup the files on my computer.
