LimeWire is a file-sharing application that allows you to download music in addition to other media content. You can search for and download music files from other users on the Gnutella network. After downloading, the songs can be uploaded into iTunes and downloaded into your iPod player. Since iTunes is the default iPod management program, it makes adding and syncing songs to iPods a simple process that takes minutes to complete.
