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.

It is my understanding that you must convert the CD to an mp3 format. And then you have to get it into I Tunes. Do yourself a favor.....buy a Phillips mp3 player and then loading tunes from anywhere (and most formats.

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.

Not much, I put it on my Ipod and it was like any other playlist. However, when I transferred it - from my computer to ipod, all the tracks had weird blips so I listened to the CDs instead. Not sure if it was my computer (it was old) or the actual CDs as it says you can transfer them no problem. I tried it twice and it always had the same problem. I think you can buy the MP3s directly on the website, so might do that to avoid any frustration with a good transfer. Or go to radio shack for a portable CD player =)

Yes, you will need to use iTunes. It comes with a CD software (iTunes) and they you will need to update online.Amazon: you should write this detail in the description product.

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 can only give a guess because I dislike iTunes. I had it once on my computer and it took over everything. Possibly the program to play the songs on your mp3 have to be played through a program on your computer, provided by iTunes. I have loaded hundreds of songs off CD's and never had a problem. Can you make a CD from your iTunes on your computer, and then do a 'copy of that CD to your mp3?

I have never used iTunes so I can't say. I usually but my digital music through the Amazon site. Sorry I could not be more help.

Most of the songs on my PC have been purchased through Napster or someplace similiar. Any music can be added to the itunes library and then in turn added to the Ipod Shuffle. They do not have to be purchased from ITUNES.

Hi megan, it does burn CDs for me. To burn songs from within iTunes you'll need to create a playlist, then burn the playlist to cd. You will need two free USB ports to power this device, it does not use a wall plug. It works really great for my laptop and on my desktop. ~david

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.

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

Yes, you don't HAVE to buy on iTunes, but you will have to use iTunes to upload these songs to the iPod.

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

Help - anybody. I bought an 8gB i Pod so I could copy music to my hard drive using i Tunes and then copy to the i Pod, so that i could listen to my music, already bought and paid for.When i Tunes captures the CD, if it shows the title and all the names of the tracks I can successfully get it onto the i pod. But if it simply shows eg. 10 tracks with no artist or track names it will not copy to the hard drive.Question: are some CDs copyright protected in some way? If they are it seems a shame as all I want to do is play the music on a different medium

Not that I'm aware of. Loading music seems to require an ITunes account. Could be wrong though.
