Downloading songs to your iPod is a child's play once you learn it properly. For downloading the songs you should be familiar with the iTunes first. You can either purchase them or search for the sites which give you the tunes for free. Given below is the procedure for downloading the songs onto your iPod.

HOWEVER, if it is for the first time, your iTunes SHOULD prompt you to automatically sync your iPod when you're connected. You first need to download iTunes, which is free from apple.com and should have come on an installation CD with your iPod. You can upload CDs onto yout iPod; when you insert a disk, the playlist comes up along with the option to import the tracks. ITunes Music Store has an amazing selection of music. It costs 99 cents per track, while whole album usually cost about 9.90. There are other programs (albeit illegal) that allow you to download music to your iTunes, such as Limewire and MyTunes Redux. When you connect your iPod to your computer (you should have a USB cable), your iPod will automatically sync with your iTunes.

When you click the iTune store you will be able to view many songs and many more options like favorite television show, movie trailers,live concert recording etc.

One can choose anything from the list to download to ones own itune library. The purchase price for this list varies from one topic to another. It will affect one if he selects to buy something lengthy. But if one goes in to purchase only songs it can be got for 99centsand sometimes it can be got absolutely for nothing. That means one can download the songs for free.you can get some of the applications for free too!Infact the home page of the stores has the most popular free items and offers links to download them by yourself.

When download has been completed we can either put it on the device directly or we can create a play list. A play list is a better option if you have many downloaded items and are in need of proper organizing the downloaded items so that it is easier to search what you want to hear. You can create your own playlist with the help of the icons found at the bottom of the iTunes library screen.

When you have completed creating your playlist or making the list of the things to be downloaded to your ipod then you have to plug in your device. You have to make sure that your battery is fully charged .If it is not so then it might take a few minutes until the computer recognizes the iPod.When the iPod icon pops up on the library menu on the left hand side then it is time for you to start download the playlist and other downloads.

If your iPod is set to automatically sync with iTunes it will begin to download everything you have purchased On the other hand if you want to select what you have to download and not want it to be automatic then you have to just click on the "Manage Music Manually" in the Summary Tab. Once you have clicked it you will be able to choose what you put on your iPod and what you want to leave on iTunes for later downloads.

You should not remove the ipod until you have downloaded every thing to be downloaded. Once the download is completed then use "Eject" function on the iTunes programe and then remove the iPod from the charger.

Instead of purchasing the iTunes we can visit www.limewire.com, and download that free program. Otherwise we can try Frost Wire or Bear share which gives free songs for download. Once lime wire is downloaded, one has to just open it with a single click search for the song and select the required song with a double click and it is downloaded! Once the download is completed then you can save it where you want .When you have completed downloading all the songs, open up iTunes .Connect the the iPod to the computer. Once it is connected go up to File at the top and open "Add Folder to Library" and transfer the downloaded file to your iPod. Then you have to file again and down to "sync iPod". This is done to update your iPod and put all the songs in the iPod. In future if you want to download more songs you have to add files to the library and click sync iPod. You can continue transferring songs on your iPod for free.
