Down loading music & iPods
Not being know for my technical abilities, I have a request for help.
Have just bought an iPod and am trying to transfer music to it.
1) If I want to download music from the internet, which is the best site to use? I am using limewire at the moment but it takes about 3 hours to do one song...... is this normal?
2) Is it possible to 'send' music from one person to another or do I have to be connected to their machine?
3) Do any of you pay to download or do you do it all for free?
Thanks v much in advance!

Can't believe you are posting on here about me wanting that! It's a good job I have no shame!
I tell you, think long and hard before buying on of these bloody things - 3 hours and not one song on it yet. I am seriously begining to worry about my complete inability to follow a manual of any sorts..........

i have about 5000 tracks on mine, not sure if there is a way of transferring them tho as they're saved on ipod as opposed to in 'my music' if you follow that?!?! perhaps someone else knows of a way.
