ok...i know how you feel. i got one for x-mas too (early though) and i stayed up from 6:00pm till after midnight friday trying to figure it out.

well...first thing you download itunes. (www.apple.com/ipod/start) either that website or the cd you get, although mine didn\'t hve a cd.
you must have gotten a cord that will allow you to charge and put music onto the ipod. when you have itunes you will connect the cord to the ipod and comp usb and itunes will automatically open.

this is how i got my songs on my ipod:
1. go to file and click on new playlist.
2. music would be imported into the itunes already..so you go to music on the side and click on it.
3. all ur songs on your comp will come up and you can either click and drag the songs you want into the playlist you made above orrr right click on the song and go to \"add in playlist\" and then select your playlist you made above.
4. then go to the ipod name under the devices section on the side and then the ipod will show with some details. go to music and there will be something where you can select if you want to add all the playlists or selected ones.
5. you can then pick the selected playlist option and then choose the playlist you want on ur ipod. then click apply..and all your songs go on from the itunes to the ipod.

for later use:
after the first use you will obiously want to add more songs.
either:
you can do steps 1-3 in the above. then after you finished the first 3 steps go to the file section on the top of the page and go right down to \"sync ipod\". (it\'s around the last few).
or:
you can create a new playlist (as listed above) and add your new songs. then do steps 4-5!


hope i helped;
enjoy your ipod!;
merry x-mas!!!!!

thanks!!! i figured it out!! yay. merry xmas to you too!!!
