689647 2008-07-17 05:23:00 Can anyone advise me of software for W2K which can transfer from
CD to an ipod nano? The itunes version required for the nano won't run on
W2K...

Your other option would be to update W2K to XP since your Nano will happily work on XP - W2K is just a bit long in the tooth now. Apple dropped iPod and iTunes support for it a few years ago. Also what you are attempting to do is just making life hard for yourself.

689650 2008-07-18 04:21:00 Floola is pretty nifty. It is a single executable that you upload onto the iPod and run it from there. Apparently runs on 98/2000/XP/Vista. You can also get a Mac and Linux version.

Once it is on you can use it on any machine.

I have a couple of daughters who use it quite happily with their iPods.

Unfortunately I think you still need to use iTunes once to enable the mass storage device option on the iPod (i.e. make it act like a disk when you plug it in).

689651 2008-07-18 04:32:00 Actually I think you can select diskmode while the Ipod is in "diagnostic mode"

Dont know if this applies to all Ipods, but it works on these 2

Press and hold the middle / menu button down.

So it resets. During the reset, press the middle button and left arrow button. You'll see it flash for a sec, this is diag mode. Press play.

Then use the left/right arrow to go through the options in the menu

One of these options is diskmode

Once you finish press left/right arrow buttons till you get to reset. Press the middle button. It'll reset the Ipod

689652 2008-07-22 23:45:00 Thanks to those who responded to my query. I was looking for a simple solution - just would have liked to transfer from CD to ipod, but will go back to my trusty cassette walkman as it is very straightforward and nearly as good quality....

Cheers

689653 2008-07-23 02:02:00 The simple answer to your Question is that yes you can transfer music from CD to iPod but in order to do that you would need to move with the times as it were and update from Win2K which Microsofy stopped supporting about 4-5 years ago and move on to XP - from there the importing process is pretty straight forward, just pop the CD in the CD drive and click Import Music and BINGO! Your music gets imported.
Cheers
Have a nice day.
