You need to download and install iTunes. After iTunes installation is complete, open it. It will come up with a few dialog boxes then it will search your computer for songs. It will find any .mp4 (iTunes format) .mp3 and even .wma (windows media format). It takes the .wma and converts it to .mp4 so it can play on your iPod. There is no way to use Windows Media Player to transfer songs to your iPod. Also, if you have protected .wma files you will not be able to convert them to the needed .mp4 format for the iPod. iPod's can play only .mp3 and .mp4 music files, so anything that is .wma must be converted to one of the two. iTunes automatically converts .wma to .mp4, but if you do some additional research and looking you can find programs that can convert songs to .mp3. Since you are new to this, I would doubt that it matters what your file extension is to you, so just stick with the easy route of using iTunes.

After iTunes is done finding and converting your music files (this may take some time depending on your computer's hardware) connect the iPod to the computer using the USB or firewire cable. iTunes will find your iPod and automatically transfer any songs it can to your iPod. Since your friend gave it to you, it will likely come up with a dialog box, telling you that you will have to format the iPod to associate it with your library. Once you do that everything should work just fine.

You can download ipod music from http://www.ipod-vibez.com they have a list of good sites you can use. To transfer windows media player music to itunes you must first make sure the music is in MP3 format and not WMA format as WMA will not play on an ipod or in itunes. Once your music is in mp3 format you can then load the music into the itunes libarary

You wouldnt transfer it to iTunes, youwould just sync it to your iPod.And just a little secret Limewire is sooooo much better than iTunes. First of all because it is free (unless you get pro) and second because ummm... ITS FREE!!! But to bring songs from WM to your iPod you do this:
First you have to:
Plug in your iPod (duh!)
Then you have to open WM and click the SYNC button. Mine is on top, but i dont know if it would be different for you. Then you click EDIT PLAYLIST and you can put the songs you want, then you click START SYNC and depending on how many songs you put, it will be done in a while!! Hope it helps!!!

Answer 5

Do you have Windows XP?
If the song is in .wma format all you have to do is highlight it, right-click, click on 'convert' , then click on the format you want to convert to, then 'OK'.
