Nope, that easy to use

Jessel you cant use an iPod without itunes-so download that first and then you should find it pretty straight forward-if not post on here and i'll explain

Ok, this "itunes," free to use. Seems quite complicated so far, thought it was a case of bung the Ipod to the usb port and copy and paste the songs

 

[drummindefender]

you can download itunes from here apple http://www.apple.com/itunes/

basically itunes is the programme which you use to manage your ipod-you can import you music from cds into itunes and then you can drag and drop your music onto your ipod( or you can have a setting where anything that is on your itunes library (where you import you music too) will be automatically uploaded onto your ipod). you can also use itunes to delete songs of your ipod.

Bet you can

There are various programs out there that you can use to manage an iPod other than iTunes.

 

[drummindefender]

Bet you can

you probably can

but it would be retarded to do so

but it would be retarded to do so

It's retarded to buy an mp3 player that won't just let you use it as though it was an extra hard drive.
Apple deliberately did it the way they have to make people use itunes, so they can earn money from the sale of music.

 

[drummindefender]

its even more retarded to think your going to pay to download music just because you have itunes

 

[Tamworth Fox]

Ok...now i've got " itunes, " installed what do I do now?

 

[Macky]

its even more retarded to think your going to pay to download music just because you have itunes

and even more retarded not to believe that Apple isn't a cynical corporation that has tried to bind the iPod to iTunes in an effort to extort more money out of its users.

I refuse to get an iPod on principle.
It is a portable hard drive end of story, there is no other possible reason that they have attempted to lock down their hardware to the software.

Apple have sold millions of songs though itunes, how many do you think they would have sold if it wasn't for people with ipods?

 

[Macky]

Sell the iPod on eBay and get a decent MP3 player, then uninstall iTunes.

This IPod was given to me for free. At the moment its pissing me off, why can't I just copy and paste ****ing songs, FFS.

All you need to do is install iTunes, add songs to library, connect iPod via USB or Firewire, click 'yes' when pop-up box appears saying 'do you wish to sync your library with this iPod' or something similar, sit back and let iTunes put all your music in your library on your iPod.

What could be easier?

 

[Jeff]

What could be easier?

Dragging and dropping like most mp3 players will let you do.

Put the i-pod in a stout package. Send it to me. It's obviously far too complicated for you.

Is easier than just connecting and clicking 'yes'?
