You need to get on Apple.com and download I-Tunes for PC. This will allow you to put CD's and buy songs offf the I-Tunes store also.Good Luck

I found the Ipod nano 5generation to be the best Ipod I've ever owned. Have been through 5, why five you ask? The other couldn'tm keep up with my sports. Ipod works and will be with me for a long time. Highly recomend. Cost might seem high, but you sure do get what you pay for!

No it isnt just for kids..we have a blast with it. You dont need an ipod to use it...it plays regular cds as well as cd+g cds (which is usually what karaoke cds are formatted as)

Unless your gift is going to someone who has (or wants to have) an HUGE collection of music files, or is likely to buy or rent a lot of Apple iTunes movies, 16GB should be more than adequate for the "average" person's onboard library storage needs. On the other hand there is no way to upgrade to more flash memory on any model iPod touch, so an extra 100 bucks if you can afford it for an additional 16GB of storage space may come in handy some day. You can always externally store a larger number of tranportable file from a MAC or PC if your storage capacity exceeds 8 or 16GBs in the older model touches.

How many CD's do you listen to at one time? It only holds one...burn 'em to your I-pod or MP3 player and use the convenient connection. If you are even considering this stereo, GET IT! It is b@d@ss.

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device.Hope this Helps.Brian

I only tried it on Music CD-R then downloaded to my Mac without any trouble. It made recordings just the way the unit played them and I was satisfied with them. But the unit stopped making CD's while on number 45 and it wouldn't eject the last one. So I returned it and got a refund. The unit is very cheaply made and I have about 800 records and cassettes to convert. I don't think you can get 50 CD's made before it would fail. I did request a replacement but they quit carrying it for a while and refunded my money. Now they are stocking it again with a sizable price increase. If you get one I would use it a lot quickly and if it goes bad Amazon return policy is very good. i would like to have another one if I knew the quality was better but it doesn't seem like things are made to last anymore. I hope your question was answered and good luck on your decision.

hmmm thanks for all the points y'all. this will help a lot of people too. By the way. speaking of FLAC I'm now looking into it. (I'm on the Mac.)How do you get your FLAC files? Do you rip them from CDs? also... I assume that it makes no sense to buy mp3s (lets say on iTunes) and then convert to FLAC as the mp3 is of lesser quality. Therefore to have FLAC files you would have to buy all your music on CD am I correct?if I can only buy iTunes music then hopefully the 256kbps files they sell will do these cans justice.Please enlighten me because having higher quality audio will definitely help my HD595s deliver their best.

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?

Hey Deanna, I purchased this item on Sept 9th, and I am still using it. I am happy to share with you my experiences thru which you will find the answers to your questions. Firstly, I would care to let you know why I purchased this item. I love to listen to my favorites musics on the go. I had used transmitters of the other so-called brands, and ended up using a tape adapter, but I was not satisfied because they died earlier. So, I purchased this device. Secondly, I tell you the good things about it. Whatever channel you choose, the transmission is 100% clear with no intercession with the others. The transmission goes widely to a point that another car can stick on your musics with no interruption. It reads everything mentioned, and even a flash drive. It plays alphabetically, so you can choose what music must be played first by naming the music with an A...or a number 1..2..3... I can't tell about the MP4, because I don't have any file in that format. Overall, I would just suggest that you give it try...and then...tell me whether or not my answer was reasonable to you. Thanks!

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!

Do the LPs transfer directly to CDs? Or do they need to go into a computer and get burned to a CD. (I don't even know if my computer has a CD burner.) If can email me it is:j sidwell at Tampa Bay dot rr dot com

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.

Hmmm.... why only 60?My 40G player I got 3 years ago has 36G full. And my music is on a machine that does not run windows. But, of course, I'd "upgrade" to a Zune if I weren't such a fanboy. Instead I'm going to pay an exhorbinant $100 (40%) more, and get almost 3 (267%) times as much storage because that's the kind of stupid thing we fanboys do.Further proof of my fanboy lunacy is that I'm investing more dollars into a "closed" ecosystem when I could buy something that works on a multivendor platform like Plays For Sure.But hey, it makes me feel cool and pretty.

Thanks for the info, guys. I use Windows XP, plan on downloading well over 4GB in musical CDs, audiobooks, and mp3's, so, if I'm reading you right, I SHOULD reformat to NTFS. Is this correct? And thanks again for your help.

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!
