I-Pods are overrated....im not having a problem with the MP3 player...just getting music on it. But I found this and so far its working <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Most MP3 players are compatible with Windows Media and usually the computer's default media player is WMP. So..go to limewire and click on the "tools" tab and select "options", then select "Player" from the list. UNCHECK the box that says to use limewire media player. Go back and search for your songs. If you have downloaded songs before, then you can see them at the bottom as "100%" Once you have downloaded the song, simply double click on the song and the WMP opens up. Right click and select "add to" and select your playlist you want. All you need to do from there is plug in your MP3, hit the "Sync" button and select the playlist or songs, and hit "start sync".If it's not the right format, WMP will tell you and you can search for the same song from a different user in the proper format. But this seldom happens (and I have 2 teenage boys that have taught me all this!)</div>
