How to Download Videos on a 2nd Generation iPod Nano
Although there are newer versions of the iPod Nano, the second generation still allows users to do many of the tasks that the latest iPod Nano features. One of the favorite features on an iPod Nano is the ability to find music and videos quickly. Instead of scrolling through text menus, iPod Nano users can scroll through album art or pictures that represent the videos on the iPod. This allows users to more readily find the videos and music they seek.
