hi all ,
ive ordered my dd a nano 8gb ipod for christmas. i though you down loaded music free of the internet , but one of the mums in the playground said you have to pay ??? can someone fill me in with more info please do i have to pay for each song ?? and videos how do i download these?

This looks like being a dearer present than i thought lol

You generally have to pay to legally download commercial music. You can buy music on a track per track basis, or you can buy albums. For ease of use, the iTunes Store is probably your best bet, though for music, there are places such as play.com which can be cheaper.

each track is 79p on itunes, and albums are between £5-12. videos are £1.29 each i think

You can add tracks from CDs too though.

edited to add: i wouldn't buy an ipod for a 9 year old. they're very delicate and a target for theft!

I'm SO happy to hear someone else doesn't know what they're buying . My 11 year old wants a MP4 player and I was considering a Nano.

Does anyone know if he will be able to download, say, Youtube videos? Can he download CDs he's already got? Do you HAVE to buy from itunes?

Maybe someone can just come to the shops with me and stop me wasting all my money . I'm hoping for some sort of gaming laptop too and I'm just clueless

Thanks in advance.

that's just prepaying - it's no better value

i don't think you can download any videos except on itunes

you can take tracks from CDs

apple have 'locked' the ipod to itunes - it's not an mp4 player
