You can't put music into your iPod without iTunes. You don't have to buy music from iTunes but you must use it. You can download music from LimeWire.
TO GET SONGS INTO YOUR iPod:
First, download iTunes, install it and blah blah: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then if you already have music, drag the song files (highlight, click+hold, drag into iTunes and let go) into your iTunes Library.
------------------------
TO GET MUSIC INTO iTunes [that you already have]
After you download music go to the folder where the song files are and highlight (1). Then drag them (click and hold) into your iTunes Library and drop (let go) them (3).
You should be able to see a faint image of the highlighted stuff as you're dragging it (2).
Screen shot: http://i18.tinypic.com/2mwxmp1.jpg
------------------------------------
If you don't, you can download (then drag) some music or Import CDs (insert a CD into your computer, open it in iTunes, click on the CD icon, make sure the tracks are entered correctly, and click on the Import button at the top right [ http://i10.tinypic.com/403afih.jpg ]) into your iTunes library.
After that, use the USB link thing to connect you iPod to your computer. Open up your iPod [ http://i10.tinypic.com/2lu3m2x.jpg ]. It should look similar to the whole iTunes thing except it has your iPod's name at the top instead of "iTunes" [ http://i17.tinypic.com/490e4go.jpg ]. Then, drag songs into it [ http://i13.tinypic.com/3zqfqdc.jpg ]. You can see from my screen shot that I'm dragging Jay-Z - Izzo into my iPod which is named <3. Your iPod will automatically "Update."

The best way to do this would be to use limewire, which is illegal but there are millions of people who are now doing this so it might be hard for them to catch you lol. Just go to limewire.com and press download for free and thats all that there is to it. Then once you have downloaded the music save it into a file and then open the files using itunes and drag it into you iPod.

Downloading copyrighted material for free is illegal. You are stealing the artists work. It has the same effect as stealing a CD from a music store. Programs like Limewire are legal, but downloading copyrighted material from it for free is IlLEGAL.

There are quite a few programs out there that offer free and totally legit downloads for your iPod. The one I use is called Blubster. All you have to do is google it and it will pop right up!

u can download limewire.com or bearshare.com I think limewire is better
when u download the songs u want. they should be in a folder in documents. when u find them just drag them into itunes, maybe a new playlist.

You can't. Well, without breaking the law anyway.
If you're down with that though, Limewire.

you can use limewire, but watch out for computer crashes. can kill the whole system. almost not worth it. and it freezes up so much.
