How to Put Free Music on Your iPod
Although iPods are automatically compatible with songs bought from the iTunes store, you can still put songs that you have downloaded from other, free services onto your iPod by adding them to your iTunes library. The process is fairly simple and ideal for fans of independent musicians, royalty-free music and even some popular music.
