Dear flist:

Does anybody know anything about downloading sites for iPods? We have a gentleman in the house who needs to know.

So I am abusing my resources. :D Anybody?

Wait, what do you mean?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

He says he's getting his daughter an iPod for Christmas, but one has to be signed up with a site for downloading music to use.

Me, I know nothing about all this. XD

[snowyofthenight.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. You mean iTunes and such? I'm pretty sure you sign up with the site once you actually have the iPod, and are connecting it to your computer and such. At least, that's what we did.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Really? Okay, I think that's what he wants. Rock. <3 Thank you

I have an iPod, but I didn't sign up at any sites o.O perhaps he means iTunes? I think I just got that on a CD-rom that came with the iPod itself.
But I'm not sure. I'm not exactly an expert xD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes! Was iTunes. ^__^ --Does it come a CD-rom? There's a site and everything, too, where it can be downloaded.

[allyness.livejournal.com]

I think it came on the CD-rom, because I don't remember any sites. But. maybe it's this ->

http://www.apple.com/itunes/ ?

Yes, um. When one installs iTunes, then the application can connect to the internet to download songs, but one needn't ever visit the site on a web browser. At any rate, yes, iTunes is the thing, each song costing $0.99.

And, one can survive without ever using the iTunes store, by loading CDs and whatnot onto the computer and putting them on the iPod, too.

[OMG!!! Marius! Just came on the radio!]

Wonderful. ♥ Thank you both.

For music? (I have a very sketchy idea of what iPods do. Do they do things other than playing music?) I don't think you need any software or to actually own an iPod to use iTunes. (My teacher downloaded it onto the school computer the other day. I am going by that.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

For music, but it's okay. <3 Snowy and Ally and Memise and lasucette figured it out for me. ^_^;;; I fail at knowing anything about modern technology.

Hopefully I can be of use, though I'm not 100% positive of what you're asking:

iTunes comes with your iPod when you get it and is the default program for playing music on your computer and putting it on your iPod (same basic idea as realplayer, etc. but specially synchronized with the iPod).
There is also the iTunes Music Store, which is a web site where you can buy ($0.99 per song as mentioned above) music to put in iTunes and thereby on the iPod. You can get to the Music Store from iTunes but they are actually 2 different things.

Most people just put the music they already have on their iPod. Once you've installed iTunes, just stick a CD in your computer and iTunes makes it very easy to import it. Or, for music already on your computer, just drag songs into the Library on iTunes.

All this is in the instructions with the iPod and, like all Apple products, it's extremely user-friendly and easy to learn. In conclusion, your gentleman friend doesn't need to buy anything other than the Pod itself!

Great! Thank you. ♥ ♥
