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.

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.

Call up Itunes. Insert CD into the CD drive. Itunes will ask if you want to import the CD. You answer yes and Itunes will copy the CD. Next step, attach your IPOD to the computer and Itunes should automatically sync the CD to your IPOD. A very easy process.

Yes, just use the cd output. You can pick up.the audio cable at walmart for your ipod.

A USB CONNECTOR. I transferred songs by buying them on iTunes and syncing the iTunes to my iPod. It would load my songs that way. You can ask Questions under help feature to walk you through

I realize this may not work for everyone, but I have 2 daughters and we all three share the same i-tunes library on our desktop computer at home (which is backed up to an external hard drive for extra storage). We set up folders for each of us (Mom-workout, Mom-Old Jams, S-Country, S-Old Stuff, V-Disney, etc) and selected the "manual sync" option on our Ipods. You can have several Ipods on a library so it's really easy.... Then, we can drag and drop the songs from our library onto our individual play lists as we choose. When you plug in your Ipod, you select the playlists you want to sync only. It's pretty simple and convenient for us. AND, we are not purchasing duplicates or uploading CD's multiple times. Good Luck!

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

I don't own an ipod. But the only input is from the small end of the standard USB cable. I am not aware of any dapter that would do accomplish this. However, I would assume you be able to use iTunes straight from the computer . The nicest function of the gb-10 for me is that you can actually upload the music right to the unit, which kind of makes it your ipod. The sound is great also.

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.

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

Mine was broken, it never worked. You suppose to just put in ipod mode and it will start playing. I chucked my broken devise in the garbage. I regret ordering it only throw Amazon.com but it was the same price as in the store 9.99.

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

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).

If you're using iTunes just plug the iPod in and load the CD and it'll ask you if you want to import the CD click on the button that says yes it will import the CD into your iPod music online and also loaded into your iTunes music library I hope this helps

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!!!

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.
