    Download MP3 to an iPod

    Downloading songs onto an iPod Nano or any other iPod is very easy and simple. All it takes is a few tools and some time.

    See if your iPod came with an installation CD. If it did, download the iTunes software on to your computer.

    If it didn't, get iTunes for your computer for free. Simply visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ to get iTunes 7.

    Plug in your iPod using the connector cable, one end into the iPod and the other into the USB port in your computer.

    If the iPod has not been plugged into a computer before, follow the instructions for naming your iPod and changing the initial settings.

    Buy music from the iTunes store, or import songs off a CD using iTunes.

    Use drag-and-drop to move the songs from the Library section on the side to the iPod section. If you have syncing activated, skip this step.

    Properly disconnect your iPod using the eject button.

    Unplug and enjoy!

    You can also use alternate software besides iTunes, such as Anapod Explorer. Learn more at www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/.

    Set up the iPod on the computer you plan to use it on.

    An iPod set up with a Macintosh will need to have all the songs deleted in order to use it on a Windows operating system.

    This only needs to be done once if you switch computers, but just to make less hassle, try to use the iPod on only one computer.

    Make sure you disconnect the iPod properly to avoid problems.
    Don't download music illegally.

    It seems to work with only one computer at a time, meaning you can only use one of the computers you have access to with it. Try to find a different mp3 player if this is a problem for you!

    Things You'll Need

    Your iPod connector cable that came with your iPod

    iTunes 7, downloadable for free

    A Computer

    Watch YouTube on Your iPod

    With a few minutes of work, it's easy to watch YouTube videos on your iPod video. Here's how.

    Windows:

    You can try downloading first with download youtube. No software required.

    Download and install the free Firefox web browser.

    Install the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.

    Go to http://www.userscripts.org/ and install the Download YouTube Video script.

    The next time you watch YouTube, you'll see a Download Video option beneath the screen. Click it to save the file to your computer. You might want to rename the video to something descriptive.

    An alternative method for steps 1-4 that works for all browsers is to copy the YouTube URL for the video you want to download and then go to YouTubeX.com or youtubevideosdownload.com. Paste the URL to extract the file from YouTube and click "Get Video!" to save it to your computer.

    Install and launch the FLV to Video Converter or use Zamzar.com to convert youtube video to ipod directly.

    Select Apple - iPod from the Output Container option, and then the output video codec H.264/AVC. Set size to 320 x 240. If you get an error message when converting, unclick the Use DirectShow button.

    Drag the converted file into iTunes and it's ready for viewing.

    Mac OS X

    Go to a YouTube video page, wait for it to load, and open Safari's Activity window.

    Double-click the URL of the video file - it's the largest one - to download it.
    Rename the file to something more descriptive.

    Drag and drop it into the free iSquint converter (www.isquint.org) and - presto! - an iPod-optimized video file for your iTunes library.



    My Video DownloaderGo to a YouTube video page and copy the URL of the video you want (support MySpace and other sites as well).

    Open My Video Downloader

    Past the URL into MyVideoDownloader, select what you would like to name the file. (As default YouTube FLV files have wierd names like th874f5)
    Choose your format from iPod, PSP, DVD etc, then choose the quality levels.

    Then add it to the download queue (yes it supports multiple downloads)
    Now choose "Start" to start the download and conversion process.

    Add to your iTunes and enjoy

    You can also use the SUPER program to convert files to AVI and, via Windows Movie Maker, to WMV. This makes a YouTube video compatible with the majority of PlaysForSure Video-compliant players. In my knowledge, certain other players come with a converter application that allow users to convert video to a format used on the device.

    (vixy.net) to convert the youtube video to MP4, and then sync the video to iPod through iTunes, here is the step by step tutorial.

    There is an online FLV converter for people who want to convert their youtube video to iPod, zune or PSP. It’s very convenient and free, you needn’t download any software. This guide will describe the basic steps; it should be easy to understand. http://www.top5soft.com/tutorial/how...-ipod-psp.html
