Lots of my customers are asking it. They have downloaded music on their PCs as MP3 files and have previously transferred the music to their ipods. Those who have this problem have removed it and are trying to reload but now it plays all distorted and horrible. There are lots of forums about this but no real answers. Can anyone give me an answer that actually works? Thanks.

If you have an mp3 you have to import it into iTunes which in turn converts it to another file type. The extension escapes me at the moment. Then and only then can they be imported into your iPod. It really is a PITA.

At the time I started collecting music iPod was the best thing going and iTunes was the best (legal) way to get music. Now there are so many really great mp3 players and ways to legally download mp3's but I am stuck. I have a huge iTunes music library and the only way that I am aware of to convert everything over to mp3 is to burn them to CD then rip them back. Then you have to go into each individual file and change the file properties to reflect what song it is... not gonna happen.
