Need ipod nano help!?

Question

I just bought a new iPod nano (the newer pink one). I usually download my music from limewire and have it transferred to my iTunes. But obviously my iPod doesnt recognize the songs because theyre not "purchased". I already have the latest iTunes version. Does anyone know how I can get all of my "illegally" downloaded music onto my iPod? I always see many people do it. Please help.

I think if you transfer your music just as files (not through iTunes) to the iPod, it won't recognize it as music. I believe you MUST go through iTunes. I don't know what format your music is in from limewire, but you might just try dragging those files from your Windows Explorer into iTunes and seeing if it can convert them. Otherwise, you need to find some tool on the internet that will convert those files to a format supported by iTunes. Then let iTunes sync your music to your iPod.
