I have just downloaded itunes for my little girl, as she got an ipod for her birthday.
I have to say that itunes looks pretty much like Windows Media Player.
If she wants the Album Artwork, she required an account with istore. What information will she need to provide?

You can add the artwork yourself, from your own pictures, and don't need an iTunes account.

I think you have to provide name, DOB, address, email and payment information. However, I believe there is a 'None' option for people who use iTunes Vouchers.

It turns out my daughter is too young to register with istore anyway.

Try using something like mediamonkey or one of the other alternatives if you wish.

yep I used to use it before I got an ipod, and still use it for my phone mp3 player, you can easily drag and drop music and podcasts from inside itunes to the 'mass storage' window of your phone/mp3 player.

only thing that may be a problem is if the podcast is an enhanced podcast (uses pictures during the podcast to tell you stuff) it might not work, but most content people who make enhanced podcasts also make a standard version which is just one big audio file.

plus I like the interface of itunes esp the coverflow with all my album covers. :cool:

My daughter wants to copy her music from her itunes onto her new Samsung Tocco Lite, so she can have the same music on both devices. But I cannot seem to be able to do it, help please.

if the phone can be connected to the computer exactly like a usb flash drive then connect it that way, (you may need a momory card to be in the phone)

then in windows open that storage drive and look for a folder called something like 'music' or similar. (if there isn't one you may have to create a folder called 'music') or consult the manual to where to save music to

then open itunes and select the music she wants on the phone (be wary of the size as you cant put 4GB of music on a 2GB memory card) (if you have/create a playlist of her music then select that playlist) the file size of the selected files is at the bottom of itunes, next to how many items are selected.

the highlight all the files using something like 'shift+click' then right click on one of the highlited files and select copy,
then go to the phones mass storage window and the 'music' folder right click and select 'paste' wait for it to be done (it may take a good few mins and you cant use itunes while it is working)

that should be it read the manual on how to eject the phone from the computer and how to add them into the music player of the phone if it doesnt automatically (could be something like 'refresh' option in the phones music player)

hope that helps.
