    These screenshots are really good and explicit. Thanks a lot. I was trying to do it myself, but looks I just can’t keep up with the young generation. :)

    Nice Work! A really good description how to get the music from the CD in the ipod, but nevertheless a workaround for a problem which should not be there: the restriction that you have to use iTunes….. i have a Meizu mini 8 GB, CDex extracts the audio tracks, and the rest is copy & paste….;-)

  21. ADD ADHD Children Says:

    Thanks for this useful information. I never knew that I could actually use my CD and transfer to my Ipod. No need to download it’s just a click away to hear some songs that I have on my CD.

    Big Thanks!

    Good tips. Personally I like to manually manage my music, but this works quite well, too.

  23. Kim Ramsey Says:

    Before I have no clue how to transfer songs from my favorite cd to my iPod. Luckily, I and my seatmate (way back when I’m still reviewing) talk about MP3, MP4, iPod and other similar matters, we discussed where he got all songs in his iPod. He taught me how to transfer cd files to my iPod. Thanks to him cause, I can spend time to hear all my favorite songs while I’m on my way to our school.

    Nice post, this can be very helpful to a clueless person like me (before).

    Does anyone know how to do the opposite of this? As in, get your music off your iPod and on to your computer?
