Getting Started with iPod

To get started you would need to have iTunes in your PC. Simply go to the Apple website and download it. Then it's time to load all your favorite songs to it. Now it's possible that you already have your favorite songs in MP3 format. You can use them for your iPod too. Simply open the folder where these MP3 songs are and drag each one of them to the iTunes window.

If you have a CD collection, you can also load the songs there to iTunes. Get a hold of them. Check if you have an internet connection. Then insert one CD and hit the import button. You will see iTunes start to load the songs one by one. After one CD, do the same on the next CD. Repeat the same process until all your CDs have been loaded.

Now if you still want to add some more songs, you can buy songs from iTunes music store. There is a wide selection of songs to choose from there. You simply have to create an account with iTunes music store and start buying.
