Does anybody know if it's possible for me to transfer music straight from a CD onto an iPod? Or do I have to rip every CD to my hard drive then put it on the iPod?

Thanks for any help or advise.

 

nope you have to rip because the ipod doesn't play the cd format

 

Damn thats what I figured...Thanks.

 

for riping music i like to use the program exact audio copy. and then get the lame.exe encoder. you can set it up so it uses a variable bit rate. that way you get smaller file sizes but them music better quality. i cant tell the difference between the origional cd's and my mp3's

 

I dont have a problem ripping the music to my computer. Its just that it takes a lot of time and I was hoping there was a faster way.
