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.

Using iTunes you can move music from any Apple type device to another. You would have to sync the nano first and go through the setup but as long as your iTunes has the music you want on the nano on there you can do it.

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

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.

The best and simplest way is to go through Itunes and just drag and drop. Sync it from there.I must warn you though, not all iPod videos come out the same. Some don't sync properly, for some reason (still working on that one). But 95% that I've sync'd played just fine.You can than use the DVD player/dock and watch them in widescreen!

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

With any iPod you have to first install iTunes on a personal computer. Then you load you cd into your iTunes program. Then you plug your iPod into the PC and download your music files. So the answer is yes.

Yes it will work. If i can operate this, so can you. Go to Itunes. com set up an account. Place your cd in the drive of your computer/laptop. Itunes will automatically read all the songs on the CD and ask you if you want to download it (you can uncheck any songs you want to) and bingo, they are put onto your ITunes library. Now plug your IPod into your computer/laptop and it will automatically sync the songs to your IPod, easy peasy!

iPods can play a variety of different media types, not just material downloaded from itunes. You will have to "rip" your CDs, which will basically copy them to your computer. After that is done, they can be loaded on the iPod. I have a mac, so I can't speak for PCs, but when I insert a CD, itunes gives me the option to import (read: rip) the CD with the click of a button. Importing a CD should take less than 5 minutes. One thing I have done is change the default encoder (itunes preferences -&gt; advanced -&gt; importing tab) from AAC (apple format) to mp3 (which is more common), but that's entirely up to the user. I'd recommend you swing by an apple store, they'll be able to answer any other questions you may have and can probably give you a demo.

Sure. Install the apps "Voice Memo" and "iTalk" (or they may have come with the most recent upgrade, $10 from the Apple site), and just leave some memory in the iPod.

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

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.

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.

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!!!
