apple nano 5th generation

[shopligand]

Hi just ordered one for my wife for xmas was wondering how I go about getting music/albums for it other than apple official store & how easy is it to load music onto the Nano via my pc:ok

You will have to use itunes to load im afraid- just import any music you have now to the library and itunes will sort it- you dont have to purchase from itunes all the time or at all

Just download from newsgroups etc... copy original cds etc..

hehe will be selling a brand new one in a few days too
my GF just won it in a competition should arrive soon



time to learn about torrents and newgroups mate get your mp3 albums free
there is loads of info on our forums on this mate


loading them is easy with itunes or with sharepod

[shopligand]

thanks wobbs getting a bit worried cos someone said you can't put your mp3's on to it cos it's not compatible??????????????

[shopligand]

what is sharepod?? target not heard of that one

[thetarget]

its another way of loading files to the ipod mate



all you do is download sharepod and drop it on the ipod hard drive


when you want to add or remove files plug in the pod click the sharepod file on the pod
and it opens a program for moving files to and from the pod


much better than itunes ....I hate itunes



how can ipod not be compatible with mp3 when it's an mp3 player lol
