    Does the ipod only accept downloads from itunes? i read on the music download site, Rhapsody, that this service dosn't work with ipods, nor does any other website like Napster or Kazaa. Can somebody tell me how i can get Napster's (which is like $14.99 a month)tunes on to an ipod with out paying 99 cents a song from itunes? it would be a realy big help and a save of money. Thanx, manAXEr

    You can put any mp3 file on the iPod... I don't know too much about the new Napster and what not but most songs are in mp3 and just drag it onto your iPod through iTunes.

    No you can't use any of the other music services with the ipod. The napster 14.99 a month thing allows you to rent the songs. You can't burn them to a cd or anything. You can only put them on a Napster compatible mp3 player(the ipod is not one of them). Once you cancel your napster service, your songs go poof, all gone.

    Manaxer - All I can say is that downloading from napster may have been a big mistake.. There is not much you can do.

    have a good look here,

    ~It's a thread in CD Freaks and covers this subject, and they all seem to be clueless as to how to decrypt the DRM of napster.

    Some suggestions, though.

    You should use itunes. Reason being that you can put them onto an ipod without any problems and also they have already been 'hacked' with a program called [bold]JHymn[/bold]

    (note, you must use a downgraded version of itunes ~i.e. anything before itunes 6.0 for jHymn to be able to work.

    Good luck then !

    ....so if you decide that you want to remove the DRM from them, you can with ease
