Can you play music dowloaded from limewire on an ipod?

Question

Or do you have to have itunes to download tracks?

Answer 1

no u can use songs downloaded from limewire cuz i always get my songs off there and they work fine on my ipod but u use itunes to sync them onto ur ipod

Answer 2

The ipod is designed to work with and be the slave to itunes on the computer to which its paired.

If you do not pair a ipod to a computer you cannot alter its settings.

If you pair your ipod to a new computer it overwrites whats on it.

you use itunes instead of media player or another to organise your music and then sync it with the ipod.

install itunes then drag and drop all your music onto the library icon in itunes (in prefs let itunes organise your music) unless you let the install program search for all your music which can take  an hour on a 250GB disk

the mAster files are on the computer in the itunes library and you really need to back these up directly.

Thats NOT they way its designed to work the ipod is a slave device to ONE itunes only although itunes can have many ipods. When you PAIR an iPod with a computer it erases all songs on it!!! and deletes pairing with original computer.

Simply dragging music onto an ipod does NOT make that music playable it then acts as hard disk. To make the music playable you MUST use itunes to sync with it as only itunes can put the music files in the correct file names (not the same as on the computer) in hidden folders and create the hidden indexes for them to be playable.

Answer 3

I get my songs off limewire. =) works fine. You just need Itunes to put the songs onto to update them onto your iPod.

But you can buy songs off itunes too if you want the really high quality song.
