the simple answer is yes, you can load them. you dont have to pay for what you already have on cd. and its very easy. also, i recommend using limewire to download music. i have more than a thousand songs on my ipod video and i've never paid for anything on itunes. you just download. and its legal. technically.

Yes, using Limewire is legal, but using it to distribute or receive items to which you do not have the legal right to do so, can hit you with fines from the RIAA/MPAA in the (unlikely) scenario that you are caught.Furthermore, Limewire, along with any other filesharing program, can open your computer to a world of viruses, spyware, and other unwanted items. Please carefully configure your program if you do choose to use a file-sharing utility, and do not share content which you know you shouldn't.

Just remember with Limewire, you have to download things via limewire and them import them into iTunes. So you will have two copies of these songs on your disk. Also, you can set up all the limewire songs to go to a specific folder and have iTunes monitor that folder. Then when iTunes starts up, it will automatically ask you if you want to import those songs or do it automatically.Limewire has a strange new setup where they charge you $25 for unlimited "legal" downloads. I'm not sure how this differs from regular limewire where people are downloading all the time for free. I guess if you believe them, they claim to pay royalties on the tracks you download and give you priority in terms of bandwidth.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

After you downlaod the itunes software into your computer it is simple. Load the cd's in your computer. Download the cd to your itunes program. Then hookup your Ipod to your computer by the USB cable and start downloading. It's that simple. The Itunes sotftware will tell you and ask you certain questions. Your Ipod has certain setting features that you can play with to make downloading eaiser. But she's 12, I think let her have it and well, she will be done in no time.

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.

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

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.

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).

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.

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.

I do not know the answer to this. My granddaughter only has cd's at this point. She is very young and doesn't do the app thing yet.

I have used other programs to find music and then I tell itunes to add that folder to it's library. Then itunes simply converts whatever music files it is "allowed" to convert into it's own format so it can be used by the ipod. I've only had a few music files that could not be converted for whatever reason, copyright protection I suppose.

you really don't need it you can put all your music on a thumb drive and just plug it in to the face of it. I never used the CD player function since i bought this. i have a 64 gig thumb drive plugged in to mine which is more music than you can fit on 6 CD's. you can also plug in an ipod and any other mp3 player as long as you use the power and data feature.

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.

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

Yes, any mp3 can be put on the iPod line, you use iTunes fir the connection to the iPod, iTunes will also let you buy music from the apple owned iTunes store but you need nit do that if you already have the cd, it will put the songs in iTunes and then let you add to an iPod.

You can only use Ipod and Iphones 4th generation or older, no other :( you can look at the amazon recomendations for music cds. I hope this helps you :)

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!
