Help Needed- iPod

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I just got an iPod, and I'm leaving tomorrow on vacation so I began to load music onto it. However, my current computer has Microsoft ME, not XP. Knowing this, a friend had given me a copy of the CD, with the CD Key attached. However, this key does not work for some reason. </p>

<p>What else can I do to get the songs from my computer onto my iPod? I am trying to compress my songs and send them through email to my other computer (which has XP), but that is not working. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Download iTunes... that's how you are supposed to transfer them...

<p>Ya, well the problems is that itunes doesn't work for ME...</p>

<p>you might wanna try a data cd. they can hold around 750 megabytes, so you should be able to transfer your music that way (assuming you have a cd burner). and yeah, i am responding on this other thread too on the off chance you don't check both.</p>

<p>I'm not sure there is a point to compressing MP3s as they are already compressed. How good are you with computers? You can just add your HDD from the ME computer to the XP computer as a slave, open it from the XP computer and move your music over, but I wouldn't do that unless you knew what you were doing.</p>

<p>Yeah, I figured it out (data CD), thanks for the help guys.</p>
