How can I get freebie downloadfs for the Ipod? I prefer my own style of music(rock from my favorite artists so I can exercise to them). I knew of Napster but never used it.
How difficult is it to copy my CDs onto the Ipod?
The Ipod will be wrapped under the tree as a present from my autistic son to myself and we'll share it-he likes the same music I do

I believe iPods use a proprietary file format, so I don't think you'll find any freebies that you can download unless it is a freebie offered on iTunes. However, iTunes makes it very easy to copy your CDs on to your iPod - assuming you have a CD drive in your computer.

I've heard that there are ways to hack around the proprietary file format, but I'd be too afraid of screwing up my iPod to try it.

Ipods use MP3's. I have about 1000 songs on my puter . Its very easy to add your own music to it. I use Limewire, but use at your OWN risk! you can copy your cd's to your drive and then move them to Your Ipod.

It's very easy to put your CD's onto your iPod. Unfortunately, most of my music collection is on vinyl, but that's another story. I love epitonic.com for free music, but it's mostly from bands you've never heard of. Still, many are excellent, and very worth hearing.

In order to copy CD's to your iPod you have to download them to your computer and then put them on iTunes and that is what the iPod uses to convert music to it. I also use Limewire to download music for free.
