Downloading Music to an iPod

by aeleon00 Feb 26, 2006 3:44AM PST

Trying to help my son with getting music to his iPod. He has been using ITunes @ .99 per song but would like to branch out to Napster or Limewire. My take on the situation Itunes is legal but there are more songs on Napster (legal?)that doesn't link directly with iPods,and Limewire is pirating music. He thinks there is more better music out there on Napster and Limewire and I'm trying to get a handle on the situation. Any help?

No Pirating Intent Here

Just trying to learn. Napster is considered pirating too? Maybe he'll just stay with iTunes.

Is a bit different. I won't repeat their web content, but look around the forums for P2P issues.

Napster won't work with his iPod. Napster uses drm wma that can not be played on an iPod. I believe there is also more music on iTunes than on Napster. Itunes has 3 million songs and Napster only have million. You can find almost every song on Napster on iTunes.

Yea you are correct Limewire is pirating music.
