Can I download music directly from my PC? I already have music on my computer, in my music library. I do not want to purchase music from iTunes.

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.

No. Imagine that this laptop is similar to your browser. While you can download things onto it, the only things that you can 'run' are apps and the Chrome browser. You can put your music on it, depending on how many songs you have (or keep it on a usb stick or external hard drive). There are many solutions to this (Google play, iTunes is starting to have a similar cloud backup for music). While you can't run iTunes, you can still keep your i-devices up to date using various apps available for Chrome.

There are multiple apps that you can find in the app store that are used to download music. You can also use a micro SD card or a USB flash drive to play music or even transfer music files to and from your device.

I think itunes only works on apple products. But am not sure. I can play all my music files on it.It's pretty much like a laptop PC. Hope this helps.

I have not even needed to bother with iTunes because when you pluge these in it opens like a thumb drive and you can just drag and drop your music into it from whatever folder you have your songs in. iTunes would be a separate download though.

Don't know if you "have to" use iTunes. I did because it's where all my music is located.

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.

You can transfer a song from the card to a computer. I did it. The instructions are in the manual on mixing and saving to the card. The machine makes a .wav file. iTunes and other programs can convert .wav to MP3.

JW485, I tried what you are describing and everything in my existing music library played fine. I streamed over my 2006 Macbook Pro(802.11g). To set it up in Itunes go under edit &gt; preferences&gt; advanced and change the location to your external HD. The problem I had was with downloading new music. Itunes failed to authorize and completely download any newly purchased music, and it took a day of email exchanges with the Apple support to redownload the music. Ultimately, I changed the library location back to default to my local laptop HD so that I could purchase new music without the headache. I was a bit disappointed in the process considering the cost of the router and Apple's reputation.

I did not download music only ripped from cds. The included software should make it pretty easy though. Sorry not more help.

Yes you can. The music saves to a file in your computer and you can easily then copy it into iTunes.

Once you have Plex on your PC, do you have to drag all your itunes movies to Plex? Or does Plex automatically retrieves all its movies from the PC, including itunes? Thanks for your help.

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.

***********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.
