  1. Step 1

    Gather all of your CDs that you love, and the ones you are embarrassed to listen to but secretly love, that you want to be on your new iPod.

  2. Step 2

    If you are using a Mac, all you have to do is open "iTunes." If you are on a PC, make sure you have downloaded iTunes. Some people are hesitant to download it, but it is an amazing way to organize and store your music, and it's free.

  3. Step 3

    Put a CD into your disc drive. The CD should appear in iTunes on the left side. Click on the album and it will bring you to a track listing. At the bottom of this page, click "Import" to transfer your songs from CD to iTunes.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat Step 3 for all the CDs you want to be on your iPod.

  5. Step 5

    Now, all you have to do is hook up your iPod to your computer. To do this, use the cord provided with the iPod.

  6. Step 6

    Make sure your iTunes is still open. A picture of your iPod should show up on the bar on the left side. Click on the picture of your iPod. It will take you to a new page. You want to click "Sync" at the bottom of the page. This will transfer your songs to your iPod. Make sure you do not unplug your iPod while this is happening or the transfer will not complete.
