Free music download to Apple Ipod  email this discussion to a friend?

My husband won an Apple ipod on the AngelBeat-networking seminar. He gave the device to me. I was very happy to have "a new toy". So I have started to search on the internet to download the songs. What I found out, I was not so exited anymore. The outcome is that, to enjoy the ipod in full I need to pay for a couple more steps- honestly I was not aware of it (what If I had to pay for the ipod-is it not enough?). So basically the ipod is useless without purchasing the music(unless I am missing something).
First I paid for the iTunes $34 per year, and than when I had opened the software I realized that I need to pay for songs I like. I did not check even the prices. Anyway I was trying to find online any free song downloads but no success.Some of the website try to get you by different tricks.
Soon a new offer is coming online : http://flytunes.fm/ - they claim the service will be free. I do not know if I should believe it.
Does anybody have more info on a free song download to ipod?

I'm just wondering why you paid for Itunes? It's a free program to download. I do know that itunes has one free song per week you can download, as i have previously downloaded them, but they are usually new artists, not very well known.

There is a program you can download called Limewire and all the tunes are free, it's basically sharing with other users and they share with you, but you have to be careful as i caught a few viruses from the files and ended up deleting the program as i wasn't sure if it was worth the pain of having to scan my computer every day for new viruses. I know there is also Napster so maybe you should give those programs a try for free mp3's, videos etc. They are about the only way you will be able to get free downloads.

You can also rip the music from your own cd's through itunes, and they go onto your ipod. So basically you put a cd in the computer and let itunes make mp3's of all the songs and transfer them onto your ipod. There should be directions on how to do it in the user manual. That way you can borrow friends and family's cd's, rip the music and listen to a wide variety on your ipod for free.

Good luck with it :)

Thank you very much for the tips. They are helpful. I will try them.
Regarding to iTunes, I followed the instruction I got together with Apple ipod.I went to www.apple.com/ipod/start, and than I was asked to pay first before download (I think I should do more research and learn about apple ipods before taking that first step). My husband said that Apple charges for everything, opposite to other brand name ipods. So maybe the Apple ipod is not the best choice to buy.

Webmom, your iPod isn't useless because you can put your whole CD collection on it! Just download iTunes (free), then import your CDs to your computer and sync to your iPod. Don't be sucked in by 'free' downloading sites such as Limewire or Napstar (I think this has been shut down now anyway) - as they are illegal, and you'll probably just get a virus for your trouble. You can also borrow CDs from friends and family and pop them on your iPod as well ... plenty of choice there! Have fun!
