Learn how to use an I-Pod thingy

okay, i got my ipod last night and I LOVE it. The screen is so cool looking! so far, i’ve gotten a bunch of music into itunes, added some album art (took a few minutes to figure out. Itunes is NOT intuitive, in my opinion), and loaded 957 songs onto my ipod. tons of the songs have bogus tags and are without artwork, so i’ll have some cleanup work. believe it or not, one of the hardest tasks for me has been how to raise and lower the volume! finally figured that out though. Oh, and I accidentally rated a song on the ipod itself..now i just have to figure out how to do that on purpose! next task: create a playlist on itunes. good luck all!

OK. I’m not 100, and I’m computer literate (not savvy, but very literate). I have a career, a dog, and manage to pay my bills on time (online, at that!). Why don’t I know about i-pods and such? I’m trying to go to the gym, and I don’t exercise without music. I can’t show up with a walkman!!! I don’t want to spend a million dollars. I just want a thingy in my ear with music that I like. How do I make this happen?
