i know...i must live in the stoneage!

i want to buy an ipod...but have no idea what to get since i don't know ANYTHING about them!

also, how do you download songs? do you pay for them??

how does this all work?

and what's sad is that i'm pretty technologically advanced...except for ipods!

Re: what kind of ipod to buy and how to down load songs??

i dont know much about them either, but started researching them for a possible present for DH... go to apple's web site... the info there on comparing them is pretty good.

It all comes down to how many songs you want to be able to download on it, and whether or not you want the super upgraded video capabilities...

From what i have seen they are all pretty much the same price. I think when the time comes i might order from Best BUy or Apple because they seem to have the best warranty/replacement programs...

for downloading songs you can use the sites like limewire, which i believe is technically illegal and sometimes messes your computer up. You can pay .99/song and download them from itunes, or you can upload them from your own CD collection for free.. My SIL went to the library and took out a whole bunch of CDs and uploaded songs that way to save some $$

HTH!
