hi,
I was thinking of purchasing a ipod apple. is it true that u can only download music from I-tune? of will i be able to download it anyway eg limewire, kazaa etc. pls advice because if i can only download music from i-tune i will probably not buy it.

If you'e talking about purchasing music via iTunes yes you can do that. But for the non-copyright mp3/4's being shared, yes Limewire is a tool to use to share with others. Depending upon your OS platform, for mac OSX: As soon as an mp3 had dwnlded, it will be copied into the iTunes own library. Once you connect your iPod, iTunes will copy your iTunes song list across to the iPod. I'm not sure about the present version of Windows Limewire, but I think this process will be happening very shortly (I read some time ago that this was being introduced) if it isn't already existent. But the process of copying from iTunes to iPod (I should imagine) will most likely be equivalent. There's plenty of people very happily using the LW-iTunes-iPod combination!

If you have Window XP, then yes, you can transfer music to an ipod. All you have to do is download itunes from the apple website. Then, when the song is downloaded in your library, click explore. It will take you to the song's file. Right click, and open it with itunes. The song will be added to your itunes library, and then you can download it to your apple.

Heh, that's a good one. As if having a Mac won't do or it won't offer the same compatibility.

thank guy i have bought the ipod and yes it can listen to non-copy right music. i am quite happy with it .it is much better and cheaper than my old Net-MD player by sony.

ok, a computer moron here! could one you nice people who enjoy limewire music on their ipod please tell the simple people how to do it. i've downloaded the music and it is in my itunes "shared music file" but i cannot transfer it to my library. i called "apple" and a nice man in India said ipod does not support limewire.
please help the downloading challenged people-thank you

This says it all I think: How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes)
The limewire playlist you see in iTunes is simply a playlist. The actual songs still remain in the LW downld folder. So what you need to do is actually add the songs to iTunes Library.

now is this all free you dont have to pay for it right? like you have to pay for i tunes

sorry if this has already been asked but i'm new and confused!!!!

iTunes is free. If you want to buy music through iTunes then you're going to have to pay.

so how can i get limewire songs on my appple ipod? and can i get it for free?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes its free. drag the songs into your itunes library, plug your ipod on, it will appear on the left, then drag your songs over from your itunes library to your ipod.

If the music is mp3, m4a and aac, you can directly transfer them to iPod.
If you'd like to put limewire videos to iPod, you need to convert to mp4 format and then put onto iPod following this guide: http://www.dvd-tool.com/limewire-to-ipod.html

Transfer via disk, network the computers, whichever options you have. eg: you could burn them to a dvd/cd - RW. Or use a jump drive. Or external hard disk drive.
