How does an iPod work?

Are you required to download the music from iTunes, or can you load any music that you already have on your PC? I've never really been interested in one so I've never even picked one up at a store and looked at it.

no you don't have to use the music from iTunes. When i bought it I thoht the same, but you can use anything, as long as you use iTunes to transfer it.

Do u have to use the iTunes software to transfer the music though?

And can u also use it as an external harddrive (store other files such as pics, docs, etc etc)?

You dont need to use itunes but you do need some program to transfer the music. This is the only official program to transfer songs with. All others were created by third party.

Yea you can use it as an external drive

Is there a fee of any kind?

No fee for using itunes. Only if you want to buy songs from itunes its 99cents.

Go to http://www.ilounge.com/ to find out anything and everything about the ipod.

No, you don't have to use iTunes... I'm pritty sure theres a plugin for winamp to transfer music to ur iPod...
and
Yes, when you first plug in the iPod to ur computer in the settings it will ask if u want to enable Data usage or somthing along those lines...

but if you were to buy one wait a while...
i've heard about some new fan-dangel iPod that lets you play video's and take photo's... but im sure the ppl @ apple will put a gaint pricetag on it

So why are iPos'd so expensive compared to say a typical MP3 player? Just the amount of memory space seems to be the only real difference.

Yeah there bigger in HDD space, and its in 'in thing'. Everyone wants one because 'everyone' has one. Get a Sony NW-HD3 or NW-HD5 if you want a cheaper, better made, better 20GB MP3 Player.

Amazing 35 hour playback.

I'm doing some prices with iPod's and other assorted MP3 players online, but I can't figure out what the different generations are with iPod's.

Example: What does it mean here that this iPod is a "4th Gen."
