Ares How To: Making Sure That the Transfer from Ares to Your iPod actually Works

Transferring music from your Ares file-sharing program to your iPod or MP3 player isn't difficult. Nonetheless, it can be a bit tricky if you aren't familiar with either file-sharing software or loading music on your mobile player. Here's a brief guide which will have your music mobile in no time.

Search the Ares Download Directory for the Correct File Format

The area where most people run into trouble trying to transfer music onto their iPod or MP3 player is downloading the wrong file format and attempting to load it onto the device. Obviously, MP3 players will only play files in MP3 format. iPods are a little more versatile and will generally play a wider range of file formats.

If you're trying to transfer music onto your iPod, your device will automatically convert most music file formats into the form which iPod "likes." If you're trying to transfer a movie onto your iPod however, you may have to manually convert the file into the proper format. You can easily find a file format compatibility guide for your particular listening device by doing a quick search online.

When you've determined the file format you need, simply make sure that you download that type of file when you select files to download from the Ares network. Ares conveniently lists the file format types in the main search results screen to make this choice easier.

Locating the Directory Where Ares Stores Your Downloads

Once you've download the files onto your computer in the proper format, the rest is fairly straightforward. All you need to do is locate your Ares download folder on your machine and drag and drop the files onto your iTunes or MP3 player program. You can locate the Ares download folder either by right-clicking on the song you want to transfer and selecting "Open File Location" or by viewing the download path in the "Settings" tab of the Ares program.

Properly Loading Files from Ares onto Your iPod

Once you've located the Ares download folder, open up your iTunes or MP3 player program and connect your music device to your computer. Either drag the files you want to transfer from your Ares folder and drop them directly onto the device icon, or just drop them into the open program window and they will copy automatically.

If you're using iTunes, your new music may sync onto your iPod automatically as well, depending on the settings you have in place. If it does not, simply locate the newly placed files in iTunes and drag them onto your device icon as before.

Troubleshooting Ares if You're Transfer Doesn't Work

If you've followed these steps and still have trouble completing a successful transfer, there are a few things you can do.

First, triple-check that the files you've transferred are in the right format. Again, this is the most common reason for transfers to fail!

If the file format is correct, open the Ares program and see if you can listen to or watch the files in the Ares built-in media player or in another media player you have installed on your machine. If you cannot, you have downloaded corrupt files and simply need to delete them and try again. If you can view the files on your computer just fine, it is likely that your iPod or MP3 player is malfunctioning. Consult your manufacturers and/or the Ares technical support staff for further assistance.

Above all, enjoy your Ares downloading experience! There's nothing better than being able to pull anything you could ever want to watch or listen to off the Internet and immediately be able to take it with you wherever you go!
