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.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

You have to "rip" the CD into mp3 format but there are several free programs that do this. The one I use is freeripmp3. Then just put the music into whatever sync program you are using (iTunes or Windows Media Player) or just put the songs into the music folder on the iPod and you are good to go. You can purchase mp3s through Amazon, too, and sync them the same way. Amazon mp3s are DRM free.

You need to upgrade your operating system on the iPod touch.It costs $10 to upgrade. After you do that, you can install I talk.

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

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.

I have heard there might be some third party software that you can use, but I think the easiest and best way is to add your windows media player items to iTunes and then sync the iPod.

Yeah, personally I can't imagine trying to use a shuffle for books or podcasts even. I also had a second gen shuffle die on my in only a few weeks. IMO you really want at least a nano.

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.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

Sorry, but don't know what you mean...I am a 63 year old swimmer with very basic tech knowledge. I just know that my previous swim unit was an MP3 player formate and much harder to download. All I do with this unit is connect it to my computer (Macbook Air) and download what I want. Just like any other I-Pod
