Downloading iPod music online can be a tricky business if you are not careful. You may wonder whats there to worry about. Everyone else, even your neighbors dog is downloading music for iPod while he is watching TV, right I encourage you to join me in a quick walkthrough on the pitfalls, tips and tricks of downloading iPod music.
Sure, if you are downloading from iTunes, then every worry that you may have can be laid to rest. However, if you are a little adventurous and want to try new iPod download sites, or perhaps tight in your pocket and just want to get some free music to enjoy, then the following information is important to you.
You may have probably heard of Kazaa, or similar free sites like that, or even are downloading iPod music from them. Then I have some alarming news for you. Despite claims by these free download sites that downloading iPod music is safe, users are unknowingly downloading bundled adware and spyware when they use the download client to access these music files online. Lets face it, the free sites need some form of revenue to keep their sites running isnt it The endless streams of pop-ups when downloading music are also extremely annoying.
The legality of downloading iPod music from these sites is controversial. While it is fair to say that downloading shared files produced by amateurs that are home-made, ie not commercial and copyrighted audio files is legal, you are still treading in grey areas because you never know when you are downloading pirated music. If you can live with all these uncertainties and vulnerabilities, then go ahead and download music from them by all means.
Since there are so many problems associated with downloading iPod music from these dubious sources, a logical conclusion would be most people would download iPod music at stores such as iTunes, eMusic, etc. Strictly speaking, if this is the only safe option other than the free download sites, then most folks would be getting their music there at $0.99 per piece or anywhere between $0.70 - $1.99 per track. This is after all cheaper than getting a CD that only contains 1 or 2 tracks you like since you can download 10 of your favorite songs from different singers instead of entire albums. But by todays standard, this is not cheap at all. I will explain why.
What if there are download sites that offer you a lifetime access to download iPod music for a one-time fee We are not talking about expensive country club memberships which only the well-heeled can afford. Consider this offer these sites make; a full lifetime membership for downloading iPod music unlimited music, songs and music videos at anytime at any place in a totally secured environment free from viruses, adware and spyware at the price of a few cinema tickets and snacks thrown in. All these sound too good to be true but whether it is real or not, the music community is the best judge for it. In case you are not informed, many music enthusiasts have opted for this alternative as the mainstream resource for downloading iPod music. If you are curious and want to learn more, read my blog to get the scoop of what is happening in the music community and where people are flocking to download incredibly cheap music for their iPods.

iPod Downloads - Review of the Top Sites For iPod Downloads
There are many iPod downloads sites out there in the market but you may be wondering which are the ones that score well in terms of usability, pricing, etc. I have reviewed 3 top iPod downloads sites based on the criterion set in my earlier article on "iPod Movie Downloads 11 Tips On Finding The Best Download Site". I have promised to reveal those sites to you and they are covered in this article. Only the best download sites can make it here. I have made it necessary to check out the testimonials of users of each site and have ranked them accordingly.
Here's the summarized details and benefits of each site:
MyiPodownload - No. 1 Choice iPod Downloads Site of Most iPod Users
Most sites charge additional fee for DVD iPod downloads and extra cost for software, but not this one. They offer lifetime membership fee at $39.95 only. There is also the option of subscribing to 1 year or 2 years of their service. With over 96 million media files, MP3, MP4 and other free software provided, the price is very reasonable. The movie downloads are all full length DVD quality movies. iPod Music and other media files are of digital quality as well. They even provide a wide arsenal of iPod games, wallpaper etc.
Their 24/7 technical support is superb, as response is fast and they are able to troubleshoot your problems quickly. Some download sites claim to provide round-the-clock service but in actual fact, it is just part of advertising gimmicks and when you really need them, the help is not that forthcoming.
MyiPodownload also gives a bundle pack of downloading and DVD/CD burning software, spyware and adware removal applications. The software supports Windows/Mac/Linux. If you are not satisfied, there is a 60 day unconditional satisfaction money-back guarantee that you can fall back on.
FeedMyiPod - No. 2 iPod Downloads Site
This iPod downloads membership site comes in close as second. Lifetime membership is $38.95 and they also offer 1 or 2 year subscription. But it is only cheaper by a few dollars. The membership comes with a 58 day satisfaction money-back guarantee.
They have a huge iPod media library of more than 95 million media files to download to your iPod. As for free software, members are given free DVD to iPod Converting software.
Every other aspect of the site is comparable to MyiPodownload except for its interface which is not as user-friendly and the download speeds are not as fast.
iPod-Downloading.com - No. 3 iPod Downloads Site
iPod-Downloading.com trails behind the two in my opinion. The lifetime membership costs $34.95. Like the other two, there are options for 1/2 year subscriptions. There is also a 60 day money-back guarantee.
Other than some similarities, this site is unique in terms of its selection of audio/video books on Arts & Photography to Mystery & Thriller, Travel, Novels etc. There is a wide database of iPod media downloads - almost 90 million files. They are reputed to carry the latest collection of iPod Games.
Other membership benefits include softwares for antivirus protection, anti-spyware and adware, registry repair and CD/DVD burning.
These are in my humble opinion the best iPod downloads site you can find online. Read my blog and find out where you can download the latest iPod movies, music, and TV shows.

Since these two formats are compatible with your iPod, people often ask a common question. Which of the two should they use then In terms of picture quality and space usage, H.264 iPod video downloads is apparently the winner over MPEG-4 video. But it does not mean that MPEG-4 is inferior or no good in these two aspects. What this indicates is basically, you can download and save more music videos and videos onto your iPod in H.264 format than MPEG-4.
Yet there are some who also disagree that H.264 is better in picture quality. Experts can even tell you that encoding at higher video settings would produce videos of equal quality be it H.264 or MPEG-4 video format.
Since this is the case, it is very likely that everyone would go for H.264 video format for their iPod video downloads. But one thing that users realize is that the encoding of video using H.264 video format is extremely slow. The wait can be so painful that people simply give up halfway and switch to iPod video downloads in MPEG-4 format. It is really your choice on which format to use for your iPod video downloads when weighing the factors such as time needed, quality, disk space usage and whether you have the patience to wait.
Other than the video formats for iPod video downloads, we have to also check if the video files we are downloading from online sources are in MPEG, AVI, or other formats. Most of the time, online music stores would provide video downloads in these versions so as to be compatible with other MP3 players. In such instances, you would need to convert the video files before your iPod can actually interpret the data. If you are tight in your budget, try using a free video convertor called Videora iPod Converter. Together with Videora, you can start to rip video content from DVDs and copy them onto your iPod to watch.
When you are downloading video for iPods at the iPod video downloads websites, it is good to read the terms and conditions for the iPod video downloads. As a precautionary measure, avoid free iPod video sites. These sites are notorious for installing malware onto your computers when downloading iPod video. Instead of using these free sites, go for those paid sites with a life-time membership or yearly membership. The downloading is safe and neat and iPod video downloads come in huge selection.
Of course, the first choice of many iPod users would be iTunes. With such huge disk capacities in the latest line of Video iPods, you can pack many iPod videos. But it can be quite costly to download so many videos from iTunes. This is where the paid membership sites can offer a great bargain. These download sites carry millions of iPod media files including iPod video downloads. For a one-time fee, you can help yourself to as many videos for your iPod as you wish. Since there are dozens of such download sites, be sure to scout around and find one that suits your needs. Find out more from my iPod video blog about where you can access tons of iPod video downloads for your iPod.
