grocery_mony 9 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Every year about this time I buy myself a Christmas present for working hard for the year. This year I am considering an I-pod. How would I go about getting some of my massive CD collection onto the I-pod? Is there some sort of software or hardwareI need to buy to accomplish this? Is it an easy accomplishment for someone who only uses his computer for poker,porn and news?Also which I-pod would you recommend, Is the touch worth the dough?TY Link to post Share on other sites
rocketpoker828 0 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 All you need to do is download iTunes from apple, then import your cds into iTunes. That's all.As far as which iPod, since you said you have a ton of music, I would recommend the Classic, either the 80 GB or the 160 GB. If you plan on watching movies at all, suck it up and get the Touch, because the screen on the Classic is worthless for movies.</radioshackemployeebit> Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 9 Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 are you comfortable using windows and creating/opening/deleting folders etc.?I do as little as possible on windows besides click to go on the net or Pokerstars. I was fairly knowledgable about computers in my teen years(end of DOS begining of windows era) but for a couple of years I stayed away and came back clueless. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have one, but they should be simple to use. If you have any questions, they can help you in an Apple store or I'm sure that a lot of people here can help too.

Suited_Up 2 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 It's almost as simple as drag and drop into Itunes.If you don't know how to download songs illegally, that's a minute or two learning process, but it's really not hard. Link to post Share on other sites
Ouch-8s 5 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'm very computer saavy, and just got my first ipod.I hate it.Well, that's a little strong but the ipod fuss is a bit much imo. I do, however, hate iTunes. But I figured out how to use winamp to manage my ipod and I'm much happier now.That said, much of my ipod frustration stems from a) my perfectionalism, and b) my understanding of how it could be better. My wife, who is not particularly computer saavy at all, LOVES her ipod, and had it set up and working flawlessly in minutes with no help from me. Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't hate itunes any more unless it started crashing every time I opened it or something.You mean your itunes doesn't? Latest version of winamp (5.5) has built in ipod support, but it isn't as good as the third party plugin ml_ipod (just google it). Easy to use (pretty much as easy as itunes) but waaay faster and more stable, and more features too. The only thing that's missing is the itunes store.... shrug. Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 9 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bump. Ok I just picked up the Ipod classic 80gb today after a week or so of uploading my CDs onto I-tunes. Now I have another questio. Do they sell chargers that you can just plug into the wall instead of the computer? If I go on holidays for a week it would be nice to be able to charge it without having to plug it into my puter.TY Link to post Share on other sites
