Hello, my daughter has an iPod nano and like to install music from the cd to the laptop to go into the iPod. How do you do this?

    Put the cd in, open itunes, rip the cd and copy onto the ipod.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    Do you have to dowload the iPod first? And if you do, how do you do this?

    Yes. Download iTunes. Install it. Then plug the iPod in.

    You use iTunes to copy the CDs onto your computer, and add them to your iPod.

    Itunes is one the easier ways to get music on your Ipod.

    It'll also give you the track listings for the music you rip off your CD's for the Nano.
