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 have any place to put in a CD. Only way you can listen to a CD is if you have a portable cd player, and then you can take the output through the Aux cable and connect it to this one and listen to music through the speakers. It can act as a speaker for a cd player using the Aux. cable, for someone that does not want to use the headphones, or if multiple people want to listen to the cd over the speaker.

You need to install it but no I do not use the cd. I play it without being on the internet. It puts a i con up and you go to it and it comes up for you to play.

Most of the songs on my PC have been purchased through Napster or someplace similiar. Any music can be added to the itunes library and then in turn added to the Ipod Shuffle. They do not have to be purchased from ITUNES.

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.

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.

You can download music from Amazon on your computer, copy it into iTunes and then sync it onto the iPod. The iPod itself doesn't connect to the internet or to cell phone towers, so you can't download directly onto the iPod like you might with a smartphone.

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.

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!

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

It sounds to me like you are talking about burning an MP3 disc, a disc with MP3's burned directly as data files instead of converting them to cd audio files. Yes, in that case you can get a couple of hundred songs on a cd compared to about 20 with a normal audio cd. With this receiver, you can save MP3's and other audio file types on a flash drive and plug it in to the USB port and not have to use any discs at all. I read that other people have been also able to use external hard drives!

For my purposes (to back up elderly LPs), I use CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) in my machine, then transfer them to my computer (into iTunes). Then, I can move them to my iPod, if desired.

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.

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!

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.

Also, you can download iTunes for free from Apple to try without having an iPod. Take a test drive with it and see how it works. This may help answer some of your questions.http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/
