IPod shuffle won't play the files.

[JoeChalupa]

I'm clueless to this stuff. My daughter loaded all her music but it won't play nothing. Do they have to be Itunes? I knew she should have just a regular MP3 player. Those worked fine.
Now she has this Ipod and it don'w work worth a crap.

They are MP3 files. WTF is wrong?

Or is to help convert files?

[Kyle Smith]

iTunes is free.

It's just not a good idea to try to use an ipod without itunes. It's really messy.

You use Itunes to put the MP3 files onto the IPOD. Itunes is free. I don't know of another way to put songs into an ipod.

Funny how that works.

Nah, seriously....the hard part with iPods is just figuring out that you need to put everything in iTunes. It tries to make it pretty user-friendly after that.
