Free music download to Apple 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 :)

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!
