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

ok some help b appreciated :) i have limewire on this computer and no itunes, on the other computer i have itunes but no limewire. firstly how can i get my downloaded tunes to the other computer n then to itunes?? please help, ta

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.

thanks, but can i not transfer via memory stick?? n wats the 'network computers' bit mean? the computer idiots need help!lol

A jump drive is a memory stick. Network computers means connect them together via ethernet cable. You'd then need to configure the settings so they can see & communicate with each other. So 2nd computer appears on the 1st computer like another drive.

Hello, I am new to the iPod world. I was just wondering if there is any way to download music without having to share it? I know there is iTunes, but something free would be nice. Any advice would be extremely HELPFUL!!!! I am just so confused. Thanks in advance. :)

iTunes is free. Unless you want to buy music/videos from their online site.
What's wrong with sharing? p2p = sharing from one to another. If nobody shared then nothing to download via gnutella network.
