Can you put CD's onto an iPod without having the Internet? I am thinking about getting an iPod, since I have well over 1000 CD's and would love to put my favorites on the Ipod. However, I have gotten rid of my landline at home (and just using my cell phone) and got rid of my Internet. So my question is, if I get an iPod (like the Apple Ipod Nano 8GB), can I put my CD's onto my iPod without using the Internet (like iTunes)? Or is there a way to put my CD's on their through my computer without using the Internet? Please help!!! Can you put CD's onto an iPod without having the Internet?

I believe that Itunes will not identify the tracks without internet access. All the tracks will be in digital code. You do not need highspeed but do need internet access of some kind when you import the cds to id the songs, the album, and get album cover artwork (if you want it). I believe there is a way to manually enter the track information, but this will take forever even if you have a small number of albums that you want to import 15-25.

Yes you can add your CD's to your IPOD without the internet. You will need ITunes though. If you have the program already, it's very easy. Go into your preferences under "Edit". Hit the tab for Advanced, than within this section, key on the tab for Importing. In this section is where you tell your computer to copy the songs to ITunes. There are 3 drop-down menus you need to change to allow this. Once there you just move them to your IPOD.

No, ITunes will not label the tracks for you. But it doesn't take all that much time to type in the info on your own. I do it all the time because my ITunes store will not connect or let me log in. Yes, a nuisance, but worth it to have my CD's on my IPOD.

My experience has been that if you try to put a CD on iTunes w/out being on the Internet, iTunes cannot access Gracenote, which will label the tracks for you on iTunes. Otherwise they just come across as "Track 1, Track 2, Track 3", etc. Supposedly you can go back and label them but I haven't figured out how to do that. Also, I found out the hard way that accessing Gracenote isn't a guarantee that it actually can label the tracks; with some older CDs I've got the "Track 1, Track 2", thing anyway. Laurie

It does not require an iPod, you can use a USB flash drive with music on it and it will play just fine. or you can connect whatever device of your choosing to it via USB.

No. It doesn't have a CD player. You can only listen to the radio and plug your IPod/IPhone.

t should have come with a cd. if i remember correctly, the cd may not be necessary for most computers. it is plug and play. it worked strait away on my tablet. nothing works on that p.o.s.

if the music cd is readen by the unit, you can copy music from the cd to the usb (Only in that way) but it is very basic you can`t choose bit/rate or format... I prefer Itunes or any other ripping program in a computer...

the simple answer is yes, you can load them. you dont have to pay for what you already have on cd. and its very easy. also, i recommend using limewire to download music. i have more than a thousand songs on my ipod video and i've never paid for anything on itunes. you just download. and its legal. technically.

It doesn't come with a CD player! But you can connect and charge your iPod to it and also the Bluetooth feature to play music from your phone is pretty cool!

it all depends on how you rip the music from your CD's. if you use standard MP3 codecs you could very well put every song you have on your iPod. the higher the bit rate for the music files however increase the size and reduce the number of mp3's you can store. the iPod and all its other iterations are just players. You need to get your CD music onto your computer and you use iTunes to organize the songs and then you can sync the music to your iPod.you might want to goto a larger capacity iPod. if you only care about the music I would recommend one of the iPod Classics - they can store up 10x what an iPod nano can hold. it all depends on how you rip the music from your CD's. if you use standard MP3 codecs you could very well put every song you have on your iPod. the higher the bit rate for the music files however increase the size and reduce the number of mp3's you can store. the iPod and all its other iterations are just players.

I have never used it. I plug in my IPod to the aux jacks, so I have no need for the cd, sorry.

you can use a cd player, i use my Ipod if i want music. but you do not need one to make it work. There is two wires that come out and then three if you use a device for music. At first i got tangled a little.I am used to the wires now. In the instructions they say you can program different exp. Have not tired that yet but I am going too. Hope this helps you.

I used iTunes and it was easy for me. You should be able to just load the cds you want to listen to onto iTunes and then drag them over to the shuffle (within iTunes).

My husband had downloaded cds on the computer and my son was able to transfer those among other music to his ipod. So i would say yes if your tech savvy!!

I listen to audiobooks on my iPod all the time, you just import the CD's as MP3s into iTunes, and then drag them onto the shuffle. I find the audio quality of the library editions and Audible to be unacceptable (similar to am radio). The iPod also bookmarks your last position when you turn it off as long as your battery is charged. You do not have to use "aac" (Apple audio file format) files on the iPod, you can use MP3s, which is the standard format.

Yes you can copy from your CD's to iTunes and then sync it with your iPod. You could probably find instructions for doing this on the internet or at Apple Support.

Itunes only allows to sync to one computer at a time. As far as the cd question goes, to transfer music to any apple product you need to first transfer the songs to iTunes an use their software to transfer the songs to your iPod.

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.
