How To Transfer Music To iPod

By Davion W

If you have an Ipod, one of the first things you would want to do is to learn how to transfer music to iPod. Even if it is your first time to hold such an advanced technological gadget, you will find that it is not overwhelming to learn how to transfer music to iPod at all.

Here is how to transfer music to iPod: First, you need to know that you have a couple of sources from where to get the music which you will transfer to your iPod. Your CD collection of songs is one source, while your other source is to download music from the reputable sites on the internet.

You must know, however, that you are still not able to download music directly from the internet to your iPod, although Apple is already working on its possibility in the near future. Your only option then is to download the songs to your computer first, and then from there, you can learn how to transfer music to iPod.

It is very important that you look for reputable sites where you will download music from. You have to understand that there are plenty of free sites available, but if you want to go for quality, then there is no better place than paid and trusted sites. Besides, downloading from free sites increases your chances of malicious spyware invading your system, and you really would not want this at all because spyware can do more harm to your system. Downloading from reputable sites can cost you only 99 cents for every song.

After verifying that the site is reliable and spyware-free, download iTunes from Apple using this link, http://www.apple.com/itunes/. iTunes is an essential software that will let you drag the music from your computer into your iPod.

When you already have the music files ready, and your iTunes already installed, connect your iPod to your computer. The songs which you have in store will begin playing automatically.

Another music source you can make use of is your CD collection. If you have quite a lot of that, you can certainly take advantage of it as well. All you have to do is to transfer the files from your CD to your personal computer. Assuming that you already have iTunes installed in your system, you can now drag and drop the music files to your iPod.

As you can see, learning how to transfer music to iPod is not difficult at all. - 15275
