well, I just bought an Ipod and since it can read just MP3, MP4 and WAV I was wondering if anyone can help me by suggesting a good program that can import other media formates in to one of the three other formates that Ipod can read. So what program is good for that?.

Thanks in advance!.

iTunes is :skull::skull::skull::skull:, and doesn't convert music.

You can use Media Monkey for everything but the videos, converting music formats, ripping, sending to and from the iPod!

Theres a program called "Videora Converter" or something that will convert all videos to an iPod format.

Does it convert music (just audio)?.

Well, isn't there a prog that converts music like Midi and such in to something Ipod can read?.

Well sometimes you can rename the program "something.mp3" with an mp3 extension and it will sometimes work. iPods read mp3 files, by the way. So what you're looking for is an "to mp3" converting program. You could find one on google, probably.

Thank you, but I tried the program you linked for above and it didn't work for me, Ipod couldn't read the file formate the program has transfered the video into.
And by the way, changing the extension doesn't mean that the continant of the file has changed or turned into another formate.

I'll try google now.

Changing the extension HAS worked for me, a couple times. Or at least I think it worked, since I was able to transfer it to my iPod then. I could be mistaken.

LimeWire.

I am not recommending this, as it is illegal.

Wavepad, Audacity, Media Monkey, and MediaCoder all can convert most other audio files into formats that can be read on an iPod. The first two are audio editors and maybe require some (minor) work, whilst the latter two do conversions with simple commands.

I suggest either buying music from the iTunes store or ripping music from any CDs that you own if you want music files.

Ok, I have a good view now, thanks everyone. I'll try to find a good prog in one of the places you pointed to as I have tones of CDs and don't need to buy music.
Thanks!. :)
