iTunes/Limewire question...

[berrywoman]

ok.. my cousin is having a problem..

 

he has Limewire.. and has d/l 2 songs. He wants to put them on his iPod..how does he do this?? I know you have to go thru iTunes, and I tried to walk him thru over the phone.. but it didn't seem to work..

 

any ideas? suggestions?

You can use Real Player too, in fact I think Real Player is much better than iTunes.

 

I download songs, put them in 'Music & My Library' on Real Player (just drag them in there), connect my pod, click the 'Burn/Transfer' tab and select the ipod from the 'Current Burner/Device' drop down box.

 

Then you find the song(s) you want, right click them and select 'copy to>Apple iPod'

 

Although if he's used to using iTunes that's probably no use at all :embarrased:

:lol: I literally laughed out loud lol thanks Mimi....

 

I don't think he's as 'technologically' advanced as we are lol I don't want to mention this real player thing.. lol I wish I was there.. then I could see what he's doing... but, oh well..

 

thanks again!

i download songs on limewire and listen to them on itunes (which is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than real player :P to mimixxx).

 

well, what i do?

i go to search and type the name of song i downloaded, then copy and paste in a folder. then, open the itunes and open the folder.....

 

i dont know if theres a easier why.. but thats how things work here! :)

I think itunes is better too... At least sound quality-wise on the free versions :)

[Alessa]

cool!! I will tell him this tomorrow... :cool: lol

I'm absolutely SURE that iTunes automatically creates a Limewire playlist as soon as you download a single song from it... Maybe you just have to drag and drop >_>

[berrywoman]

^ thats what i thought..

 

he says he sees it with the 'apple' logo.. but he is trying to d/l the song to his iPod... I told him to click and drag.. but he says it isnt working. :embarrased:

If he doesn't know how to update his iPod, he needs help, or probably shouldn't even own an iPod. Click+drag from limewire doesn't work. You have to search your system for the file, then drag+drop into iTunes, then clikc File>Update iPod

it is absolutely easy to upload songs from limewire into the ipod.

1) go to the file in the computer in which all the music is kept

2)click on the song that wants to be uplaoded.

3) once its on itunes playing, drag the song into the +ipod sign on the left, the same way you would a normal song.

4) its there.

 

any questions? :cool:

[berrywoman]

^ thats what I told him to do!!!!!! he said he could click and drag.. I dunno... lol but thanks to all!! xoxoxo

[Sienna]

no probs berrywoman... i just decided to post in a sort of simpler way, some people need to see it written differently in order to understand it.

xoxo :D

if it's a PC (which i'm assuming it is) I'm less help, but i still know how......

 

search for the files over limewire, and then download them.......one they're downloaded (if they don't automatically get added to his itunes library) then open up itunes, and drag and drop the files onto the little "library" icon...then click "file" then "update ipod", wait for it to updatre and then you're done!
