Furthermore, you should have your software that came with your IPOD installed onto your computer, however if you forgot, here we go.

The Complete Steps to Transferring Music onto Nano IPods
If you are transferring the music to your Nano, you will need to install IPODS software, which came along with the device purchase. You likely have a CD, therefore, plug into the disc drive, and follow the steps to download the software if you haven’t already done so. If you have a MAC computer, you will need to select the iTune Icon located in your documents and then choose Start from the menu.

If you are transferring likely you have tunes stored in the play list or library at iTunes program, otherwise you can import your favorite tunes from a CD, or from your computer up to iTunes library or play list.

Sounds easy enough, but one thing I learnt about technical gadgets, is it is easier to tell someone how to perform a function verses them doing it. If you have, difficulty refer to your user’s manual, which should provide your helpful steps in completing the process. If you need additional assistance, likely you will have technical support available to you; otherwise visit the Internet where everyone is talking about IPODS. Anyway, hope this information helps you. Happy transferring, downloading, burning, ripping, or whatever it is you are doing.
