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.

es open your door, put In the CD and once you have your Intunes account set up It open Itunes and ask you "DO YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE DISK" Well If you want the entire CD In your Itunes say yes. IF NOT and want a single or 2 off the cd? Say no , then slide just the tracks you want Into where It says "Music" on the top left on the Itunes page. And you only use space for the tracks you really want In there. Itunes Is VERY user friendly.

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

Since the ipods don't have input connections, the only idea that I can come up with is to import them into iTunes and then sync up the ipod to get them onto it. To import them into iTunes may require that the home movies be put on a CD in an old format (If you are lucky it might be able to read DVDs and the newer formats, but iTunes seems so persnickety)

You can't do it directly but, you can to a usb stick...then, to your ipod using itunes

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.

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!

HiI'd say that there's a 99% chance that the tags will work. Which program did you use to rip the cds? Most programs use ID3v2.3 which is what ipod uses so there shouldn't be any problems. And even if your tags aren't recognized by the ipod, you can use a freeware program like mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) to change it to the appropriate tagging scheme. This process should be very painless and should take 5-10 mins at most.

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

I think so by using the itunes program. The ipod accepts any digital files including videos, cd music,photos,etc

For me it's a 3 step process ... Cassette to Flash drive, Flash to computer, computer to music CD. So, for you the last step is computer to ipod.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

Great Queston! My Wife gave me an Ipod for Christmas, I have around 1,000 cd's, I've almost loaded all of them on my computer. My Ipod is less than half full, my computer is maxed! I want to load more!

Rip your CD into MP3's and then make a direction for you USB stick . Then copy the favorite tunes to you USB stick . Also, make you tunes into MP3 allows more tunes on you USB stick

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.

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

One program that I recommend is CloneDVDMobile by SlySoft. You do have to pay for it, but I've had it for over a year, and I've never had a problem ripping a DVD to the iPod. It's really easy to use, too.
