How to Download Music Without a Credit Card on My iPod Touch
iTunes is the free application that allows you to purchase and download music for your iPod Touch. Most users connect a credit card to their account to buy music, but it isn't necessary. When you create a new account, you can choose not to use a credit card and pay by voucher or debit card instead (depending on your country). Downloading music without a credit card onto your iPod Touch should only take a few minutes.
