Do you have to buy songs and videos off of itunes to get them on your ipod?

Question

I get my songs from limewire and kazaa and I am debating on geting a Zune or a Ipod but i thought you had to buy every song and video to put it on your ipod is this true?

Answer 1

not so,i always download videos from youtube: http://youtube.com

share u two ways:

1.use zamzar, it support free online donwload and convertion

2.download Videodownloader. This is a plug-in for Firefox. It enables you capture streaming video from website

but the videos downloaded from YouTuBe is flv format,ipod accepts only mp4 videos,so u need a professional third party software to convert the videos to MP4 videos,i used to iSkysoft ipod movie converter, it's easy to operate and support free upgrade..

YES.And I also find a good way.You should make sure the video is MP4 or H2.64 video for iTunes. You can try the DVD to iTunes Converter and Video to iTunes Converter, it is so easy to rip DVD to iTunes, convert free youtube, limewire, google video to iTunes for iPhone, iPod touch/classic/video/nano, Apple TV.

Answer 3

You can put any song on your ipod as long as they're in a format it recognises (such as mp3). it doesn't matter whether you bought them from the itunes store or not. you need to use the itunes program to put them on the ipod though, (well, there are alternatives but thats the official way at least) which might be where the confusion comes from!
