ipod mini downloads

[puddin_n_pie]

Hi peeps, I think I have done something quite silly but hey, maybe you can help me - I have ordered an ipod mini from the USA (I have been assured that all I will need is a uk to america adapter.)  I have since been told that you have to pay 75p for each song you download?! Is this true & is it possible to download tunes from a program such as "limewire" that I use to make CD'Ss from?  I am very worried about this now as it has cost me alot of money I shouldnt have spent in a moment of impulse... I have no idea how to transfer songs from my computer onto the ipod - I have a packard Bell PC with Windows XP - I have no idea what all this firewall / cables isb ports stuff is all about either!? Thanks Guys!

Ms Puddin_n_pie, you don't have to pay 75p for each song you put onto your i-pod. You can transfer your entire CD collection to your computer, and transfer tracks to your i-pod mini for free.

You can however, choose to buy new tracks that you don't already own from the i-Tunes store to put on your i-pod mini. And these tracks will set you back 75p.

Or you can use programs such as Limewire or Soulseek, which allow you to download songs from other users that use those programs. This is free - but also illegal. However some would argue that it is only as illegal as taping a friends album.

The choice is yours. But in essence, you can can fill your i-pod mini with all your favourite tunes that you currently own, without having to pay a penny.

By the way owning an i-pod is great...and if you are like me, it will totally transform your commuting life!
