How to Download From a Computer to an iPod
The iPod technology has replaced the other bulky portable music players, such as cassettes or the CD Walkman, and made it easy even for inexperienced users to copy not only music, but also movies and pictures from your computer to the player. After you have connected your iPod to the computer it takes just a few clicks to download the desired media files. However, you need to download and install iTunes, a free media player and the iPod applications manager from Apple, to be able to transfer files to your iPod.
