I had to do a bit of head-scratching to figure it out, but once it fell into place, it's very easy. You load this from your iTunes library on your PC/Mac. Your library list has check-boxes for the tracks you want to put on your iPod (in case you don't want to copy your entire library). Click on the iPod tab on your computer screen and "synch" your iPod to your computer to copy the checked items to your iPod. (Be sure you don't accidentally click the "eject" icon, which is also on that tab. I learned that the hard way.) It's very similar to copying documents to a flash drive, just a little more menu-intensive. You control the whole thing from your computer, with the iPod plugged into a USB port.

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).

It should be. I got this for a gift for my nephew. He has loaded music CDs so I am sure you should be able to load course CDs.

Yes, I was able to just click and drag songs on itunes ad add them to the ipod.

Yes, there is. It can only load one cd at a time (the last, quite dated Sony stereo system we had a 3 disc cd changer. But the cd seems to be dying a slow, gradual death at the hands of the USB port). Other than that, it's a pretty good, clear sounding stereo. Hook up a few more speakers to it if you can and I imagine it being stellar on some high quality speakers.

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

I am not sure, I gave this as a present so I have never used it myself but from what the person I gave it to has said it is very easy to use, maybe no disk is required.

There is a CD to load. It was the only one out of 3 that I bought that worked with my Windows 8.1 and gate program for our storage business. I entered the phone number into my gate software. Hope this helps answer your questions.

Since it is a plug and play device I never had need for cd. But really put in a quick Google search and it will pop up for you

So far so good. I have a mac so they didn't send a cd to download, only for windows. I had to call and do it on line with a rep which was unusual but worked. I haven't used it a lot yet so not sure about everything. I have been using the scanner and regular copier and that works good. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Hope this helps! Karla

I found the device pretty intuitive. Probably the only thing that was a bit challenging was loading the software onto the computer, but, not really that tough. Then, when plugged in, you just need to look for the courses you want to play, check them off and sync with the program. It will load them onto the device. Then just play with it using the menu items (access this from the lower left button that looks like a scroll) and the other buttons on it. Really, it is quite simple. Hope this helps.

I did not download music only ripped from cds. The included software should make it pretty easy though. Sorry not more help.

The song loading time is actually quite good, even when switching to different artists. The only slow part, is when you initially select USB as the input. It takes close to 10 seconds to actually load my 8gb flash drive. But after that it's fairly fast. I have not yet played any videos from the USB input, but I wouldn't expect it to be any different from songs.

I would have the CD handy. I found that I had to use the CD for the software install. Thanks.

Sorry, but we no longer have this unit. It went bad on us and we ended up ordering a replacement model (different brand/model). Don't remember how the cd's loaded.

There's no CD drive on this, but you may be able to use an external CD drive. If you're looking to use CD regularly then this is not the product for you.

You can load this software on as many computers you need, BUT you can only use it on one computer at a time. Also be aware that the install process requires some extra steps to prove that you are a student. This is not in any of the documentation.

You should be able to use it. I just put the cd in and followed the instructions. It is a good program and fun.

I am not an educator. I bought the education edition and install it easily without a problem. It is a good program.
