You Got an iPod! Now What?
Filed Under Fun & Entertainment, Sports & Recreation |
you got a cool, new Ipod for the holidays. Now what do you do with it?
If you’re confused by the buttons and dials on your MP3 player or confounded by the 900-page manual that came with your new IPod, here are a few tips to help you with your high-tech holiday hangover.
1. Start with iTunes, the software that manages everything for the iPod. (You can download it from the Internet or install it from the CD that comes with the iPod.)
2. Connect the iPod to the computer. The computer should automatically recognize that the iPod is hooked up.
3. If you want to add music from a CD onto your iPod, pop the CD into the computer. Again, the iTunes software will automatically recognize it.
4. Click the import button in iTunes to import all the tracks on the CD into your music library. Then go to the music library and drag the songs over to the iPod icon. They’ll now live on both your computer and your iPod. Repeat this process to add all your CDs onto your iPod.
There are lots of other portable digital music players out there that aren’t made by Apple. If you received one of these players, it’ll probably require a similar setup procedure, including the installation of some software — usually included — and connecting the player to a computer to install music.
