How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
Thanks much.  

The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
But there are options for websites with mp3s.
There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

    how to get musics from my Ipod nano back to my mac ?
    I mean, using apple approved or suggested softwares.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer if you have any purchases from the iTunes store. Hope this helps.

  • How do I get music into my library from my ipod

    Everything was going fine with my ipod until I had to wipe my hard drive a few weeks ago.
    I set my ipod so that it wouldn't sync automatically anymore so I wouldn't lose the songs on it but now I can't get the music from my ipod into the library on itunes that I just downloaded.
    So now I can't do anything with my ipod but listen to the songs that are on it. I can't even get songs I don't like anymore off of it.
    Help!!!

    this is an option

    or
    you can download third party software that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and trasfer it back on to your computer.. you can find these programs at www.versiontracker.com
    a few that are free for windows are iPod->Folder 1.2 or YamiPod - 1.0.1
    if you use a mac I suggest senuti

  • How to get music off ipod touch 5 and onto new hard drive

    Help.
    My PC crashed. I have an itunes acct. I was able to back up most music to external hard drive - except that which was more recently purchased by son through his ipod touch 5 (that he got for Christmas.)
    I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive...
    I have a new laptop. Itunes is not yet installed on it.
    I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs...
    Is this right?
    Or do my libraries still exist?
    I would really feel most comfortable if I could just get the songs off of his IPod and into back up before I install ITunes on the new laptop.
    I can always re-import the songs back into Itunes, can't I?
    I am not too computer savvy - please consider in reply.
    Thanks all!

    "I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive..."
    Correct.  The iod touch is not a backup/storage device.
    "I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs..."
    Also correct.
    "Or do my libraries still exist?"
    Your library will only be where you put them.  You shoudl always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
    Copy everything from the backup copy to your new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  Without syncing - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Computer crashed, how to get music off ipod onto itunes

    My computer crashed, I lost everything. Is there a way to get the music I have on my ipod into my itunes? Other than just the purchased music? Thanks for the help!!

    Hello sunnydae,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • HELP ME PALEEEZE!!!! how to get music from iPOD to iTUNES on new computer

    I bought this iPOD overseas and started the music downloading thing from the iTUNES on my friends' computer.
    Now I'm back home in the states and have my own computer and don't have a clue how to get the music from my iPOD to MY computer.
    How can I get ALL this music from my iPOD to MY computer? I don't want to lose all this music b/c I don't have the cd's b/c I got the music from someone else.
    I'm new to this iPOD game as you can tell any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help me!!!!!!!

    It's still stealing. Your friend bought those CDs - You did not. He has the license to copy that music to his iPod - You do not.
    I don't think you're likely to get help here as it is a violation of this forum's Terms of Use to discuss illegal activity.
    Cheers!

  • How to get music into itunes

    Ok. I buy a song NOT from itunes and have it on my computer. I have it in the "my music" folder - how do I get it into itunes easily?
    Thanks!

    Open itunes, click "Help".
    Type "importing music" into the search bar.
    It should tell you how to import music already on your computer.

  • How to get music from ipod onto new computer?

    my old computer crashed and i got a new computer and now i don't know how to get my songs from my ipod onto my new computer. having alot of problems please help!

    All of your media that you bought from iTunes you can restore by plugging in the iPod and then right clicking on the iPod icon in the iTunes side bar and select "Transfer Purchases from (name of your iPod)"
    For songs/movies you ripped yourself:
    If you are on a Mac, look up DeTune... Or Senuti...
    there are other compatible things for other OSes but you will have to search for them

  • How to get Column Browserfor  iPod Touch to work in  iTunes 11

    The Column Browser for an iPod Touch device displayed correctly in iTunes 10 but now seems disabled in iTunes 11. 
    Is there anyway to enable the Column Browser for an iPod Touch device in iTunes 11?
    I use the Column Browser extensively for the Device management.
    The iPod Touch is configured in iTunes to Manually Manage contents.
    By the way, the Column Browser displays for my iPod Nano Gen 2 in iTunes 11.

    So fiend, you have iTunes 11, WIndows 7 and are able to conjure up a column browser on your iPod classic using Ctrl+Shift+B?
    What is it that you're doing 'right'?
    Hhhmmm! My apologies, but since I believed we had already covered this point, I read your comment as does not work in iTunes - not "does not work on iPod Classic in iTunes". Two different things. Possibly, my confusion was your use of the word "lame". It implies that you believe I'm stupid. (Don't worry, I know I'm not!)
    I thnik we have established that the column browser cannot be displayed on the Classic when it is connected to iTunes. But I think you'll find there is an alternative. See my response to Community_User at 4:07 this afternoon.

  • How to get photo albums off of iphone 4s with itunes

    My computer has a virus so I hooked my iphone 4s to another computer with itunes. I need to get some photo albums off the iphone that I synced with the other computer but the only thing that comes up are the photo stream photos. My question is how can I get them off it is taking up space on icloud and I just don't want them anymore. please help.

    Please explain to me what kind of photos end up outside the sandbox. Photos taken or saved with the phone are in the Camera Roll. Other photos on the iPhone would be synced via iTunes from the computer. Those pictures are already on the computer and can be removed from the phone via another sync. Importing the photos with import utility on the computer, like a digital camera is how to get the pictures. I'm not sure what these other photos are that you are referring to, or where they are coming from.

  • How do I remove the photo dates other than with Sport Removal?

    How can I remove the photo dates that appear in yellow from a photo other than using the Spot Removal tool which has not worked?

    While I agree that more detail is necessary from the original poster ... maybe even a screen capture
    I don't know if this is what the original poster means, but when I have tried to use the Lightroom 5 Enhanced Spot Removal Tool for this purpose, I could never obtain a solution that seemed to remove the offending object and fill in the desired area with a relatively continuous and natural looking result. It always seemed clear to me, when I tried to do this, that the result always had un-natural looking discontinuities in the end result caused by my application of the Enhanced Sport Removal Tool.
    And so, in my case, to eliminate the dates from the bottom of my photos, I wound up using different software ... in my case Photoshop Elements, which produced a more satisfactory result.
    On the left is the version of the photo created by Photoshop Elements, the date is missing (and at the bottom right, a lamp to illuminate the sign is also missing); while on the right is the image with no attempt to remove the date and lamp. My attempts to reproduce the removal of this date via Lightroom were unsuccessful, the grass never looked natural, the grass always had discontinuities which made the result unsatisfactory, and I did not save the Lightroom attempts to remove the date and lamp. (And if you look carefully on the left, you can see places where the shadows abrupty have disappeared, an artifact of the process, however I still deemed the photo on the left to be successful at the removal of these items, as I don't usually focus on the shadows)

    I face a similar challange as Claire
    By doing some research I found out that it seems to be difficult, but haven't found the solution.
    Would be helpful to post a solution (if there is one) or share the information that there is none, instead of just suggesting more research...
    So, any hints where to look?

  • Hard drive died, how to get music off iPod

    My hard drive died so I lost iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes and need to move all my music from my iPod to iTunes. If I plug my iPod into my computer, will iTunes take all that music and create a new music library, or will it go the other way around and the new empty iTunes will remove all the music from my iPod?
    I hope that makes sense

    Regular forum poster, Zevoneer, has written a very detailed list on your options of how to do this. I need to add one thing. Once you have recovered your library, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR MUSIC, so you don't have to go through this aggravation, again.
    Wrong link, let me find the right one & re-post.

  • Importing Audiobooks to iTunes-how to get them into "Audiobooks" library?

    I own a lot of audio books I want to import into iTunes instead of lugging around the hardware anymore. If I insert a disc, it imports it as a music album, not in the "Audiobooks" section in the Library. I want to import in smallest mp3 size (fidelity is not an issue with audiobooks) and be able to access the files as Audiobooks rather than titled music albums. How do I do this? I can scan the covers, etc, as I do with Music when iTunes doesn't have the right cover art, but still don't know how to access the Audiobooks section in Library.
    Dan Viele, Santa Rosa, Ca.

    The definition of what is an Audiobook and what isn't is in the encoding of the tracks - I recall that files with m4a, mp4 or mp3 file extensions are tracks and not audiobook files.
    Only files with .m4b can be audiobook files but that still isn't enough - the file properties also have to have their file type set to be audiobook and not music tracks.
    Its a PITA but the encoding from aCD has these issues whereas the purchased audiobooks I have from iTunes, come in the right format and end up in the right place.
