subject: Top Tips About Loading Ipod Music [print this page] Look around and I bet you see at least one iPod. These little devices hold hours of audio including music. It makes it convenient to have because you can listen to your favorite music as well as a favorite show. All you need to know is the loading iPod music or audio process.
There are different services that offer music for your iPod. There is Apple download service known as iTunes. It is found at iTunes.com. The program itself is downloaded for free while the items for download are only available for purchase. Other audio items available are videos, books and TV shows. Nevertheless, it is not a requirement to use this service. There are other options as well that cost less. Loading iPod music with this system can cost up to $30 with various prices in between down to a dollar. Most of the music on iTunes costs 99 cents a song. It is convenient because you can download an entire album for the set price or choose your favorite songs from the album. This can save money because you do not purchase a song you do not like.
Memberships are an option. These are sites that require a small fee for lifetime membership. Instead of purchasing each item separately such as with iTunes you pay the membership fee then have unlimited downloads. Another program has downloads available for a monthly fee. You pay the fee and for a month you have unlimited downloads with the site. Then if you want to use it another month there will be another monthly fee. Many of these sites are located on the internet. A precaution is to check the fine print before committing. Also, make sure the site will offer what you want. It will not be worth it if it only has music you will never listen to and would not want to load onto your iPod.
There are some sites that have free downloads. It might be a limited offer. Others may offer free downloads, but they might not be good quality and might even harm your computer or iPod. Just keep that in mind when considering a free download.
Start loading iPod music by inserting the cord that comes with the iPod into the computer USB port. Everything is right there for you to help make the process easy. Music downloads quickly on whatever program you are using, especially if you have high speed internet. Then you can add your music to your iPod, but still have it saved to your loading program. That means you can take it off the iPod, but still have a copy so you can put it back on some other time.
You can also add music from CDs you already own. Place the CD into your computer CD drive. A program shows up allowing you to click on the song and place it in your iPod music folder. It will then be able to be placed on your iPod and still remain on your CD.
