The offical guide of how to get free music onto your ipod!

[Rawr]

Ok, so you have an ipod and your sick of buying albums and perhaps the odd song from itunes at a chargly cost. Well this guide will help you get free music with no cost.

->First you will need Limewire go to http://www.downloads.com and search for limewire then download limewire 4.10.5, it's free don't worry.

->Once you have got limewire installed and it's up and running search any audio you would like (bands, artists etc..)

->Once you have found a song click download and wait 2-5 mins for it to download.

->Once downloaded go to tools options (on limewire) and pick a suitable place for your music to be saved (such as recieved files)

->Open itunes and click file then add file to library, search for your song where it's saved and click open.

->Scroll down your itunes and make sure it has been added to your library (if not try again.)

->Plug your ipod in and let it download on to it.

->Switch your ipod on and let the music flow.

Good guide Matt. But me thinks that you'd have to listen to the song first to see of the quality, THEN put it in2 iTunes.

Yeh good point. Once downloaded it you can listen to it on windows media player and if the quality isn't good then pick another.

Kazaa is horrible.

Limewire is an okay P2P application.

If you want whole music albums or movies, I recomment getting a Torrent client instead.

Instead of downloading individual songs, you can download whole music albums, or even the artist's discography. (Which is what I do. )

Some good Torrent clients are:

• µTorrent (Personal favorite)
  
• Bit Comet (As Saurav. suggested)
• Azureus (Java-based torrent client)

The difference between P2Ps and Torrents is that with torrents, you download small tracking files for whatever you wanted to download called (creatively enough) torrents.

These torrent files then begin to download your files. After it has finished, it will usually begin to seed, or upload, the file you downloaded to other users who want the files as well.

(You can disable seeding the file if you'd like. Sometimes it slows down your Internet connection.)

They're a little harder to use for first-timers, but I highly recommend it.

Kazaa - completely messed up my computer - really bad program
