Question

i am wanting to get an Ipod Shuffle and i don't have ITunes, i already have music on Yahoo Jukebox, will an ipod work with that music thingy? i need your help please!

Answer 1

you do need iTunes to install your iPod, but you don't need iTunes to get music

Answer 2

Ipod shuffle has to have Itunes.

Answer 3

You need itunes to load it from your ipod.

if you are gonna get the shuffle; once you plug it into the computer it will direct you somewhere to dowload itunes; prob. for free.

but you don't need to use itunes to get music for your ipod

i'm not sure if yahooo! jukbox songs are apable with an ipod, sorry

but i heard rhapsody is. :]

Answer 4

No I would rather eat my laptop rather than use itunes!  Although if you did want to use it will come on a disk with your ipod ready to install, it's quite nifty but has alot of holes and crashes alot, oh and deletes everything on your ipod, ALOT. I port stuff over from windows media player or media monkey. Saying all of this if you happen to have a mac then itunes will work perfectly. Shuffle away! Ahem, I'll be quiet...
