Services that load CD collection on iPod I have a rather large collection of CD's and it would take me weeks to get them all on an iPod. Some of the services I have seen out there that will load them onto your iPod for free or nominal cost are looking for only those CD's that have resale value. Many of my CD's are lecture series or books on CD and would not be worth much on the resale market. Does anyone know of a cheap reliable service that I can use?

There is a freeware that rips CD's to mp3 called audiograbber. it will hardly take few minutes to rip a 80 min cd. this should help you a lot.

I've never understood those services... sure they can put the music on your iPod for you, but what happens when you have to restore your iPod and you don't have all of that music back-up in iTunes on your computer. Do you have to pay someone to do it all over again?

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.

You can only load one cd. It takes mp3 cds though so you can have a lot of songs. My solution is to put a bluetooth adapter then i can manage the songs much easier wirelessly.

Is the Rhapsody-to-Go w/ Sansa Fuze just like the $9.99/mo Rhapsody service w/ PC? Or is it more like iTunes in that if you want to take it with you then you would need to buy it per track/album?

I'm a big fan of my iPod touch as well (in fact, I'm typing this on mine right now). To download movies or TV shows, I normally just use iTunes. It's not only easy, but it's also legal. Paying two dollars per episode is outrageous for some, but I don't mind because of the ease and convenience...Just my two cents :-)

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

1. If you download karaoke songs from itunes onto your ipod and then plug it into this system, do the lyrics appear on the screen? I would be wary of CD+G from iTunes, for the simple fact that Karaoke music is comprised of two separate files. IF and only IF you download the music and the data file which is required from iTunes as one (and I doubt it), then you should have no problem. Also, in order to make a CD+G disc to use in the device, you need Karaoke Software like Karaoke Studio which is capable of making discs from the two files. I think most complaints that you'll read where people are saying the lyrics are not showing up are people who are unaware of Karaoke files actually are and what's required. When they burn a disc and press play, the music comes on and the lyrics don't because you have to use specific software. Karaoke is an investment for sure and the Music +G is never cheap. 2. Do all karaoke cds work on this system, and do the lyrics always show up on the screen as well? I've purchased several Karaoke compilations from Amazon and they've all worked so far without problem. As anyone who knows Karaoke will say, it's best to try and master three or four songs and really develop your ability. If you really want to make those songs the way you want it, like adjusting the lyrics as they're sometimes wrong or inserting background pictures, Karaoke software is the next step.

Yes, I've. Taken songs off my cd's and are now on my itunes account. I tranfered my music to my computer then opened them to play in itunes, itunes does the rest and stores them in your itunes account

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

Well, no and yes. No, not the way it is here, but yes, if you buy something called a Wave Connect Kit. It costs about a hundred bucks, but as I see it, a person who usually listens to music on an ipod is not as likely to need a 3 CD changer, so you could buy the Wave System without the 3 CD changer (at about half the price) and then add the hundred dollar Connect Kit and play your ipod on it. And you'd still have a CD player, but you would only have one CD at a time in it. Probably not a problem for most people who listen to ipods. I don't have an ipod or any kind of MP3 player, Well, I have one, I've just never taken the time to learn how to use it and since I don't listen to music except when I'm at home or in my car, a CD player works fine for me. But the basic Wave system (without the CD changer) and the Wave Connect Kit might be just what you need.

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.

To add to what everybody has already said below, for best results, I only use MUSIC (as opposed to DATA) CD-RWs, b/c they (CD-RWs) can be used over and over again. They are more expensive of course, but I'm fine with that.

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. :/

Thanks.For some reason it took about two weeks to work after doing the exact same steps.The same thing sometimes happens with music. I will rip some music and add it to my library, but will have to sync it several times before it sees it. Doesn't always happen, but I have noticed it.

First I would ask, "Outdated HOW?" Everyone has needs and desires. Many people want to still play CD's such as myself. So to me it is not outdated.

Mark thanks for saying that you hadn't tried it, cause I was feeling really stupid that I had not put an audio in mine either. The kids' music is all on iPod and hard drive (streamed, when it works...). I hardly get to play all my CDs any more and after all this $$ just spent, I think I deserve it. Maybe I will just burn a bunch of Blu-rays of the CDs now that they came out with a burner/sw to do so on the Mac. Spending $ as fast as I earn it, but what is money for? Oh yeah, college...

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).
