I'll rate you good.
I want an ipod for Christmas. I have a few questions.

What is cheapest? What holds the most songs? How do you connect it to your computer? How much will they be? What ipod do you have/ recommend?

Where can I get FREE music? Where do YOU recommend I get music? (Limewire, Ares, etc..) Does it cause many viruses? How do you get the music into the Ipod?

Well, I got my ipod last Christmas, so I have an ipod mini. I'm not sure if they still sell them though. I like it because it was like $200, and it holds about 1000 songs. I mean, if you get the regular Ipod, that holds 10,000 songs. Do you really think you'd have that many songs on there? I havent even got to 200 yet :) It's pretty simple to connect it to the computer. It comes with a wire that you hook to the bottom of your ipod, and the other end hooks into the thing in the front of your computer. I can't remember the name of the thing it hooks into, but it should tell you in the instructions.

Well, just a little tip for you: I think that whenever you download music for free, you are taking a risk at viruses. I don't think there is any program that is 100% safe. BUT, I would recommend LimeWire. That is what I used to use, but I don't download music anymore. To get the music from LimeWire to iTunes, you just have to like open the files and transfer them. I'm not quite positive on that one though =/ But once the songs are on the iTunes (the program that comes with your ipod to hold the songs in a library), you just plug your ipod into your computer, and it will automatically transfer your songs from your library to your ipod. If something wasn't clear enough, feel free to ask :)
