Learning how to transfer music to iPod is one of the initial things iPod users would like to do. After all, what use does an iPod have if you are unable to listen to music with it? If you are scared of the process, don't be. The ABCs of how to transfer music to iPod is not as complicated as you think.

Here is how to transfer music to iPod: First, you need to know that you have a couple of sources from where to get the music which you will transfer to your iPod. Your CD collection of songs is one source, while your other source is to download music from the reputable sites on the internet.

However, downloading music directly from the internet to your iPod is still not possible at the moment, so what you will do first is to download the songs from a reputable site and save the music files on your personal computer. Then from your computer, you can now learn how to transfer music to iPod, and it is really fairly easy.

It is highly recommended that you look for reputable sites to download music from. Perhaps, you may be tempted to go for free sites, especially if you wish to download hundreds of music at one time. However, you must be aware that free sites are often not safe to download from. There is always the danger of getting infected with spyware, for instance, and you must know very well how spyware can cause damage to your system. Always go for quality, paid sites, even if they charge you almost one dollar to download a single song. In the end, you will realize it is the better option.

Once you have found the site where to download the music from, you need to download iTunes so you can drag and drop the music from your PC to your iPod. Downloading iTunes is free, and the site can be accessed by following this link http://www.apple.com/itunes/

Now that you have the files stored in your computer already, attach your iPod to your computer, and the songs you have downloaded will automatically play.

As already mentioned, you have another music source, and that's your CD. If you do not wish to download music from the internet, then you can make use of the songs from your CD collection instead. Just copy the files into your computer and make sure that you have iTunes installed there as well. Then plug your iPod into your computer and enjoy listening!

As you can see, learning how to transfer music to iPod is not difficult at all. - 15478
