Is itunes the only program you can use to download songs onto your ipod?

Question

I'm thinking about getting an Ipod Nano, but i was wondering if you can only download songs from Itunes onto the Ipod and not from other programs. I'm not planning on spending a dollar per song to put on my ipod. So can you use other free programs like limewire or mp3rocket to put songs on your ipod? Thanks

Answer 1

You have to have itunes to put songs on your ipod, but you don't have to get the songs from itunes. I use limewire myself. You just have to transfer the files over to itunes before you can put them on your ipod.

Answer 2

Yes. You must use itunes to put songs on your ipod. You can import songs from cds you have or use a free program in which case the songs would also have to be imported as a file. I wouldn't be surprised if itunes has circumvented this with ipod updates, since they are a monopoly (itunes is all you can use to put stuff on your ipod). Good luck. I also think paying 1.00 for a song is kind of a rip, but better than 18.00 for a whole cd that has only 1 good song on it.

Answer 3

Yes, download limewire and then upload the song to itunes.

Answer 4

Getting songs throught limewire will not work. I have tried and my computer slowed down dramtically. I stick with itunes. every once in a while I buy music cards
