Ipods have to be one of the pivotal products of this decade, in that the western world at least has become swamped with them but in a positive way. They allow us to listen to music of our own personal style with ease and also if needed serve as a very handy file transfer tool.
One of the most basic requirements for one to be using an Ipod successfully is to have the ability to download music for to be played on your Ipod. There are many ways in which this can be achieved and I will briefly outline them one at a time.
The first is free, but the selection is by far the smallest and often of the least quality. By this point in time everyone has heard of myspace, and how up and coming bands will often showcase their tracks in order to get their publicity rolling and their name out there. You can often download very original songs from different myspace sites, and who knows, that band might even turn into the next big thing.
The second way to get your hands on quality songs for you Ipod is to subscribe to a download site which will contain limitless amounts of music and movies for you to download and listen to at your pleasure. Most of these sites charge a nominal one time registration fee and after that you then get unlimited access to all their content, which for the good ones is absolutely amazing. At the end of this article I'll give you a small list of recommended download sites, as finding the really good ones can be quite hard seeing as smaller copy cat sites are popping up all over the place, offering far less quality for money.
The third way to get songs for your Ipod doesn't specifically require downloading, rather converting your existing cd collection to mp3 format enabling you to then put those songs onto your Ipod. You will need a certain kind of file conversion software to do this but as of the writing of this article, most of the download sites mentioned above offer this kind of conversion software as a bonus for your registration.
On a side note if you have any trouble at all actually downloading the songs from your computer to your Ipod then I would suggest checking out my other article on this site which explains the process in a simple and effective way.
