Download other than itunes?

I recently received an ipod touch 1st gen and want to know if the only place I can downlown music from is itunes.

Hey!
Your question is a bit vague,but if you mean is iTunes the only way to place music on your Pod, well then the answer is YES.That's the only way to synch your music.
If you want to purchase music,you can use a number of sites including Amazon,who though limited at the moment,have just launched a new music store.Slightly cheaper than iTunes too!Take note Apple.Also not DRM'd so you can use them on any MP3 player.
Cheers,
John

    Kirk, I'm almost certain that any Napster downloads have DRM on them. 2nd problem is that Napster doesn't work for a Mac.
    The forums are having problems as you can see. When you post it is taking over 30 minutes to appear in the thread at the moment, so it's really not necessary to re-post.

    My mistake. I've been happily listening to their streams. The subscription service does not work for Macs, yet. Sorry to all for the post(s).

  • How do i download a dvd i have purchased from  a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    How do I download a dvd i have purchased from a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    Commercial DVDs are generally encrypted. In the U.S., it's illegal to break that encryption. Because of that, the Terms of Use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    If the DVD is not encrypted, Handbrake is probably the most commonly recommended software.

  • Can Ipot beoperated with any other program other than itunes?

    I would really love to use my IPod. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I remove itunes and reinstall it, I get this message:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Since I can't get any help from anyone at Apple without purchasing it (and I don't feel I should have to purchase help for a malfunction in a program), does anyone know if I can download books, etc., on to my ipod using something other than itunes.
    Thanks.

    As Katrina suggested, see try Media Monkey. For more info, see this article => Music Organizer MediaMonkey Runs Rings Around iTunes.

  • Can Apple TV stream other than iTunes, like Sling Box?

    This may seem like a simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I like to stream TV over the internet. Quite often I stream SlingBox from a friend's house, for example. I also watch tv on hulu and download movies from sources other than iTunes. Can I watch any of these on my TV through the use of Apple tv, or does Apple tv only work with iTunes? Thanks.

    You can also "convert" the files (movies etc) to upload to itunes to play through 3rd party software like iSquint.
    That won't work with a Slingbox, however, because there are no files to convert. It does live streaming from a TV, DVR, etc., over the Internet to a computer using the Slingplayer software or to another TV using a Slingcatcher.

  • My iTunes account is no longer showing my playlists or any of the music I have added from sources other than iTunes.

    I discovered that iTunes is no longer showing any of my playlists or music I have added from sources other than iTunes.  My iPod, which is a 4th Gen Classic, seems fine and has all of my playlists and music.  My question is how do I upload my iPod to iTunes so that I don't lose anything?  I have read a lot of posts about people having similar problems and most of them suggest restoring from an old saved file.  I have two problems with this approach 1) I do not have a current back-up and 2) it does not seem to work for any of my non-Apple purcahsed music.  Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?

    I'd do a "deauthorize all" from a computer you have access to, and then reauthorise the computers you still have access to.
    For instructions, see the following document:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

  • What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

    Hello people,
    Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
    So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and  i might end up doing it  but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?

  • Can you load songs with anything other than iTunes?

    I'm trying to re-install itunes after my PC collapse, but I can't and I really want to upload new music to my ipod, but I can't, can I use any other software other than iTunes? Cuz seriously, I don't know what's the problem with iTunes, but I can't install it.

    There is a lot of software for iPods that allow you to transfer music and more.
    There are things like anapod (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/featpw.php), ephpod (http://www.ephpod.com/), podplus(http://www.ipodsoft.com/index.php?/software/podplus),and even a winamp extension (http://www.mlipod.com/).
    They aren't hard to find, just search.

  • AirTunes streaming with apps other than iTunes

    I love the Dashboard "Rabbit Radio" Widget, but why can't applications other than iTunes support AirTunes streaming? I 'd like to listen to Internet Radio through the $2000 sound system the computer is connected to (through the Airport Express). Dashboard, and other applications, need audio streaming capability, just like iTunes.
    It seems silly that we cannot do this. This also can be a problem with Safari as well, and other system-level or iLife applications...
    Also, the last time I checked, iTunes won't even stream music video or movie audio through AirTunes-connected speakers...

    Hi
    Airtunes is part of iTunes, it isnt really a stand alone app.
    If you dont mind paying a little, Airfoil is a great little app that allows you to stream from most other sources to your Airport Express.
    With regards to video/movie audio, it does tend to get out of sync when you stream to an AE!

  • MacBook Pro sound out to airport express other than iTunes

    Is there any way to get sound to link to my airport express other than iTune files?
    I've gotten iTunes to connect to my airport express and then toslink it to my preamp but is there any way to get audio other than in iTunes to connect wirelessly to my airport express e.g. a movie sound track or a you tube audio? I listen to internet radio through iTunes all day and it's great, but other audio, only comes out either from the MacBook Pro speakers or vie hard wire (or optical) to my sound system. Sounds so simple, and it might be, but... how?

    Sure, it's easy. Check out airfoil at http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
    I use it with 2 airport express and also my ipod touch. The "hijack" application they pair with airfoil lets me listen remotely to just about anything I can play on my Mac. Wish I could use the ipod touch as a remote as I do with iTunes.

  • Finding files on an iPod Classic that were added from somewhere other than iTunes

    I added files onto an iPod Classic from another source other than iTunes, but can't find that file on the iPod, either its not connected self, or when it is in iTunes.
    So, how do I go about locating the file without going back INTO iTunes and adding the file into iTunes' library?

    Hey thanks, Jim... Actually I do have a back up of my entire library on an external drive. Is the process just dragging the songs and albums from the Finder (from the external drive backup) onto the iPod when I plug it in to iTunes and they copy over? Is it possible to create new or update existing Playlists with this method? But is key is to never sync the iPod with iTunes or do I need to check Manually Manage Music & Videos?
    Or am I looking at this completely wrong. lol
