If you purchase songs from iTunes you will soon notice that the downloaded m4p files are protected and you will have troubles playing them in mp3 players or software players other than itunes and an iPod. Some users think that this is not the way it should be and even some governments seem to think that the connection between songs purchased in iTunes and the restrictions imposed are not legal in their country.

I don’t like the iTunes software that much - it is slow and big and the only reason for me to use it is that it is the offical software that comes with the iPod. I recently ran into a problem which was fixed pretty fast by a quick tip that I found at one tip a day. I assume that iTunes is already installed at least on your main computer and you want to access the same library of songs that are stored on the main computer.

The following website might be of interest to you if you own a video iPod and use to visit a gym regulary. Ipod Gym offers more than 80 free movies of exercises in the right format that can be directly transferred to the iPod. Most movies do not have sounds at the current stage but are subtitled which should be enough for must users.

I do like podcasts. I listen mostly to music when I’m traveling but I sometimes have the urge to listen to podcasts and especially those that teach me something or cover subjects that I’m interested in. Podcasts are a great way of keeping up with the latest trends and technology on the internet in a time saving manner. I do not have to be near a computer and I can learn about new stuff while sitting in a car or train.
