need ipod help

ok, i bought an Ipod. hooked up the software, and all the songs on my computer got put into the thing. sweet... but...

all the songs i downloaded from Limewire- i cant get that folder to transfer into Itunes. in the top of Itunes i click "add folder" then i click on the folder the Limewire songs are in, then when i click "ok" it says "one or more of the songs needs to be converted" etc etc and i click "convert"

and then it doesnt show anything new in the library??? even if i refresh the library part. and i can get it to transfer one song at a time, but that will take days... how do i send ALL the songs in the folder at once?


last question... once i DO add new songs onto Itunes, what do i have to do to add them to the Ipod? just plug it in with Itunes turned on?

IPOD uses Itunes only as far as I know (it's been so long since I did the research).

I went to the M:Robe player because of that special format with Ipods.

It is possible. Only problem is, the kid that did it is in Alabama, the iPod is here, and dad is iPod stoopid. I'll ask the next time I talk to him.

ok, i FINALLY got the Limewire downloaded songs file to transfer into the Itunes library. it almost killed me to figure it out, having to try anything... i ended up having to transfer all the files one song at a time, making a new folder, then i could transfer it to Itunes.



so now, when i update the Itunes library, how do i upload those songs onto the Ipod itself each time? do i just plug the Ipod into the computer or is there something i need to click on to upload them?

thanks

Just plug in the iPod and wait a minute. It will then tell you not to disconnect the iPod and will automatically update it. It won't take long, and everything will be updated.

I created a folder on my computer that I have set my limewire to save to directly. From there I can import it into whatever music player I want. Once I have done that then I put the songs in Itunes. You can change what songs are on your Ipod by checking or unchecking songs from the Itunes listed on the Ipod.
