Apple iPod n00b

[Robb]

Quick question people, fancy buying an ipod as ive advanced my reading skills and finish the paper halfway through the train journey to work, and then have to amuse myself by other means. Only looking for something simple, smallest capacity but has to have the colour screen. Anyone know the best place to buy one?

What i need to know is, say i have an album on a CD can i copy them onto the ipod via itunes or whatever?

or do i need to buy them all again via itunes?

Gracias...

Get an Ipod Nano........Pick them up for around 90quid in argos......

I got the silver one which is like 2gb and I got 600 songs on mine......

You just upload the CD via itunes and it saves it to your computer and then when you connect your ipod...you just click sync ipod and it adds all the checked songs to your ipod....even technophobe me can work it

[Karl]

yeah there is a Rip from Disc button Robb,
click that
and Magic :D

[Robb]

silver nano = ghey.

pinks where its at...

so once its ripped it creates it own artist folder and names all the songs and stuff, i dont need to do anything?

[AdamW]

Ipods are for gays


Ooooohh how the tables have turned

[Karl]

Yeah;
puts it into a folder in My Music\ITunes something along those lines.

With copied CD's though you may get a few "Unknown artist"'s though; but you can edit these manually.

All the song names and shit are done automatically......

They only do the 2gb one in silver....you got to pay extra for different colours with only a few more gb........600songs is plenty imo

[RootDogg]

the is a nano on the forsale section

[Robb]

naa they'll all be legit cds, so no drama there.

what about illegally downloaded songs that adamwales sends me, that just copy and paste in ipod folder yah?

[AdamW]

You can also play games on the nano....guess the intro is good lol

[Karl]

drag and drop them into iTunes.

[AdamW]

Yeh, they will alll be saved in your documents....so in itunes just go to File-Import-My Documents-song.

Then it will be in your itunes library....when u finished adding all the songs...just make sure you either go to File - Sync Robbs Ipod. Or update ipod in the ipod menu on itunes

I bought the iPod video,
the video funtion is silly hard to use, you need a convertor.

I'd go for the 4gb, 600 songs is easily filled.

[Robb]

style > price

true stylewhore tbh.

[AdamW]

Extra 70 odd quid for a black one which no one will see as it will be in your pocket......good work.loser.

[Chris]

I got my iPod whilst I didn't have a PC at home, so I had to keep going down my Mum's house to loads stuff on to it.... now I have a Laptop at home.

Is there a way that I can transfer the iTunes from my Mum's PC to my Laptop?? iTunes keeps telling me that Only one iTunes can be asigned to each iPod, so delete the old one and load up new one on the laptop..... but this will lose all my songs won't it????

Cheers for any help.

Chris :)

[Karl]

yes it will Chris.

You could burn all the songs to a DVD-R (or more than one)
and then re-import them?

its more for peace of mind. so i know myself im not one of those gays that has a silver one.

[AdamW]

Masking tape and black spray paint tbh

[Brat]

I've got a 2nd generation pink Nano.. Best colour :D

[Scattle]

I got a Blue Ipod nano which is 4bg for about £120 from Amazon luckily it still works after going through the washing machine, it holds about 1000 songs depending on size, then I will get a lead to plug into the back of my CD player in may car.

[Karl]

I used to own a Pink iPod mini 4gb,
sold that peach.

[Robb]

ebuyer ftw (http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/117645)

[AdamW]

Cant complain at that price tbh........Ebuyer is a great site.....tis where I bought my TV

[Robb]

tempted to get one of the shuffles, but dunno if i could be dealing with no screen tbh...

[Brat]

Shuffles are for gays.

[Karl]

Shuffles are nasty.

[Robb]

depends, i wouldnt be one of those people that wore it on their sleeve, would be kept in the pocket.

but purely for capacity as id probably on keep the equivilent of 10-15 albums on it. and it would become unused once i get a car as i will just use CD's...

[Brat]

Just plug your Ipod into the Headunit in your car, saves messing about with CD's.. I never use CDs.
