How to Download Music to an iPod
The Apple iPod is a portable music player created by Apple Inc. and launched in October of 2001. Since then nearly 300 million iPods have been sold around the world. The iPod can store as much as 160 GB of music, which amounts to several years' worth of songs. Downloading music to the iPod is as simple as using Apple's iTunes software.
Download and install Apple's iTunes software. Apple offers a version of iTunes for both the Macintosh and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later versions.
Install and run iTunes. Allow iTunes to find all your music. This can take a while if you have a lot of songs.
Connect the iPod to your computer, and wait for your computer to recognize it. Bring up the "Devices" menu, and select the iPod entry and then "Music" underneath that.
Choose to copy either your entire music library or selected songs and playlists. If you chose the latter, select the music you want to copy in iTunes and drag it to the iPod icon in the left column. If you want to select more than one song or playlist, hold the "CTRL" key while selecting multiple items. When you're finished, click "Apply" to copy your music to the iPod.
