Learning how to transfer music to iPod is one of the initial things iPod users would like to do. After all, what use does an iPod have if you are unable to listen to music with it? If you are scared of the process, don’t be. The ABCs of how to transfer music to iPod is not as complicated as you think.

The basics of how to transfer music to iPod begins with the knowledge of the sources of music which you will transfer to your iPod. You can have a couple of choices here — your CD collection is one, while downloading music from the internet is another.

You must know, however, that you are still not able to download music directly from the internet to your iPod, although Apple is already working on its possibility in the near future. Your only option then is to download the songs to your computer first, and then from there, you can learn how to transfer music to iPod.

It is necessary that you download only from sites that you can trust. There are many sites that offer free downloading services, and you have to be cautious about such sites, because they are really not totally free in the sense that your system can be infected with spyware and viruses, and this can cause you a lot of money in the event that you will have your system repaired. Reputable sites will charge you only around 99 cents for every song, and that is not much at all, if you weigh the benefits that you can reap in return.

If you have already decided on the site, the next step is to download iTunes to your PC. Downloading iTunes enables you to drag the music from your PC directly to your iPod. There is no cost to download iTunes, especially if you follow this link, http://www.apple.com/itunes/.

Now that you have the files stored in your computer already, attach your iPod to your computer, and the songs you have downloaded will automatically play.

Another music source you can make use of is your CD collection. If you have quite a lot of that, you can certainly take advantage of it as well. All you have to do is to transfer the files from your CD to your personal computer. Assuming that you already have iTunes installed in your system, you can now drag and drop the music files to your iPod.

Even if you are not techno-savvy, learning how to transfer music to iPod will not scare you out of your wits.
