I'm looking into buying an ipod or an mp3player. I would like one that can transfer songs from my computer/CD music. And then organize it into folders. Anyone help me ???

iPods are Apple's version of an MP3 player. The main difference is what file formats are supported. iPods will support MP3, uncompressed WAV and Apple's AAC files, which are either M4A for unprotected or M4P for protected, which is what you get if you buy music from the iTunes music store. iPods will NOT support WMA files, protected or not, which is what you would get from Napster, Musicmatch, MusicNow, FYE, and others.
Other brands of MP3 players will support MP3, WMA, and most will support protected WMA files as well but will NOT support the Apple AAC files.
My advice - stay away from iPods - the batteries can't be changed by the user - unless you "buy a warranty" you're gonna pay big buck$$$ to have a repair center change worn-out batteries for you. Go with a SanDisk M200 series model. Although you're doing this mostly with CD's that you already have, just make sure that when you rip the CD's into the computer, choose a file format that will be supported by your player - this is done via the "rip" settings in Windows Media Player.

IPOd is a brand. Regardless of what king of Mp3 player you getl, you will be able to transfer cd's to the MP3. The only exception are some fo the cellphones with built in MP3, where you may need to purchase songs exclusively from the cellular music store.
most mp3s gave a folder system
What makes the
Ipod unique?
With an Ipod you can purchase songs for as low as 99 cents from itunes which will only work on the ipod. They can offer these low prices, becasue patent holders are willing to trust the security of the ipod and not elsewhere.
the
All sorts of neat gadhets that the ipod has. For instance you can attach all of the following: an fm radio, voice recorder, remote control, exteranal battery pack, special boomboxes, special speakers and lots lots more.
Sound quality is awesome.
Most other MP3 players, you need to send the sound information to speakers via the headphone jack. That method of sending the information is not the beast for quality. You know that data connection on the ipod? It is a more effective method of sending the audio information and so the sound sounds better. Thats why you see so many speakers that are made specifically for the ipod data connector

ipod is an mp3 player, it is just one brand.
I would spend the extra for the ipod, just because you have the apple name backing it up, and it is very simple to use
