sure you can, just take the music from the cd (rip, it won't do anything to harm the cd) and add it to your itunes library and then synch it to the ipod.

I beI'd've you need to download the cd to iTunes then download from there to your iPod.

I'm not sure, as I have not used Windows media. I have only loaded music using my itunes library. I would perhaps check on the Apple website to see what is says about Windows media and the iPod shuffle, as whatever you can do withe the land-based iod shuffle, you can do with this iPod.

You can drag music files over to you iPod, but you won't be able to play them. iTunes or another program is required to changed the files the way the iPod likes them and to update it's internal database. Another option is to use RockBox. It replaces the firmware that the iPod came with and allows you to drag files over to it, leaving them unchanged. RockBox is also VERY customizable.

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.

iPods can be filled w cd music. You just upload your CDs to your iTunes account and then sync your iPod to iTunes. My iPod is probably 70% music from CDs.

Not directly. You have to transfer your cassette to itunes on your computer, then you can make a CD.

If you can download the podcast, then yes. The shuffle is old school, meaning you need a source for the music and then you put it on the shuffle.

If you bought the music from iTunes the easiest way to convert it is to record the songs to CD and then rip them to a compatible format such as MP3 or WMA.

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.

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.

Yes you can. I can't get itunes to work so I can't rip the songs but I can still listen to them.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

You have to use iTunes to load cds onto your iPod. Got to iTunes.com and download the software. There is a walk-through that will help you.

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
