Do you have to use iTunes to download music onto your iPod or can you use another site?

Answer 1

with an iPod, you have to use itunes to mess with your music. you cant transfer it to your iPod any other way, so unless you allready have, dont get an ipod. they are ****, when i saved three hundred dollars i bought an iPod 20GB video and it was very dissapointing, i returned it and got this http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zen... best choice i ever made, iPods become vegetables after about a year, a zen will last forever. iPods dont play WMAs while the zen does, WMAs take half as much memory as MP3s. so yes the zen holds twice as much as an iPod, plus it comes with more memory for less money, its alot more then twice as much. plus creative doesn't force you to use itunes. you can just open the "my computer" window and drag and drop any file you want and the zen will play it flawlessly. when i had an iPod, there was always something wrong with it, almost none of my files were compatible, you have to buy multiple expensive programs to make some files compatible. and plus the customer service ignores you when you call. the zen also has FM radio while the iPod doesn't. the creative customer service is great, not that i've ever had to call for this product. customer service from apple just constantly tells you to buy more and more programs by quicktime, it never ends and you just fork over more and mroe money. for a product you will have to replace in a few months. apple sucks, get a creative.

Answer 2

You can use any program or website to actually download the music, but only iTunes will update your iPod. I download from all sorts of websites, including Limewire and even MySpace, but iTunes is sort of like the hub of iPod organization.

Answer 3

You have to use iTunes to transfer the songs to your iPod but I'm pretty sure you can use other programs then import the songs into iTune, then put the on your iPod. I use Limewire to downlod then I just drag the songs into iTunes. Hope this helped. If it won't let you drag the songs to your library in iTunes, then click import on the file menu of iTunes. Hope this helped!

Answer 4

You can use absolutely anything, as long as you convert it to MP3 format, which you can do on iTunes, or, if you have any problems, simply google "MP3 converter" on the internet, which you can usually download for free. Hope this helps :)

Answer 5

I don't believe that there are any other programs that update the music on your iPod such as iTunes does.

Answer 6

No, you can use www.limewire.com and download the program (which is free) and you can download all the free music that you want. Once you've downloaded your music, drag the songs to i-tunes and it should upload to your ipod.

Answer 7

You can use almost anything. But I prefer iTunes best!:)
