iPod Video - Your New Entertainment Center On The Go by Ken Snow

Apple has been continuously innovating on its iPods. Initial iPods were meant to be a storage

and playback device for songs on the go. Then came the feature of storing photos, soon followed with podcast facility. The latest iPods

can even playback videos for you and come with a whooping 30 GB or 60 GB hard disk option, which can store up to 150 hours of

video. So if you own this latest gizmo, read on.



The next question is 'Where can you get those iPod videos and how can you download them on your iPod? Well, there are many

options for you to choose from. The simplest option is to purchase music videos, Pixar short films, or select TV episodes via iTunes 6.

iTunes music store has more than 3000 music videos covering almost all the artists from all the genres and select popular TV shows

from ABC, MTV, ESPN etc. You have an option of browsing, previewing and in case if you like them, downloading it for $1.99.

Having downloaded the 'no advertisements' iPod videos, you can then share it with friends or burn it on a CD.



If you do not want to pay for these, don't worry. The good news is that there is a lot of free iPod videos available on the Internet,

provided you are looking at the right place. If you are familiar with BitTorrent, its search engine can track videos mainly encoded for

iPod, especially the famous television shows. Another free category of available iPod videos is that of exercise videos. So go ahead,

give your exercise regime a whole new meaning! Doesn't satisfy you? Join the world of vodcasts and let the free iPod videos come to

you without searching for them.



Are you a frequent traveler and miss your family a lot? You can even convert your favorite family videos into iPod videos. Just

download the free software from ww.pqdvd.com and covert all the home videos to iPod videos in one click. The conversion speed is

fast and it does not compromise on the video quality. You can also edit these videos. The other free software you can use is Videora or

the 3GP Converter. For Mac users, Handbrake, iSquint or MovieToGo is a good choice. The other option of conversion is to utilize the

'Convert Selection' facility from the 'Advanced Menu' provided by iTunes. Though you will have to purchase an upgrade to

Quicktime Pro, this does not need any extra software and you can convert your home movies in MOV, MPEG and MP4 format. Just

synchronize it to your iPod and play on!



iPod videos can be a perfect gift for someone you love. Just buy and email an iPod video to a friend. If you are not sure of what the

other person would like, just go ahead and print a gift certificate for an iPod video. It will be a gift that will remind the person of you,

and rest assured, these will only be fond memories!

Are Free Music Download Programs.....FREE?
By John Rivers

Before you use one of those free music download programs you may want to compare them with the legal file-sharing programs to help you make a decision.

There are many free music download software programs available to download free music online. It seems like there are new "Ares download, free music download web sites" entering the Web everyday. Getting a free KaZaA music download is all I here my students talk about in class. Asking each other where to download free music or download and burn free music. They talk about sites to find Inuyasha music downloads, Final Fantasy music downloads, even cell phone music downloads.

Are free music download programs...FREE?

It all depends on what you want. Some offer Pro versions which have no ads or pop-ups. But do be cautious with most of the free music download software, they will have adware, spyware and pop-ups.

KaZaA music download-KaZa Lite music download
Limewire music download
Ares music download
Shareaza music download
WinMX music download
Imesh music download
Free Grokster Download
Poisoned

These programs are free... but they have some problems.Basically, the difference between free file-sharing programs and file-sharing programs that you pay for is as follows. With the pay programs such as Mp3 Advance, MP3 Music Subscription and DownloadShield, you get technical support, no pop ups, no adware or spyware, most offer privacy protection, and your money back if you're not happy with the program.

With the totally free music download programs, unless you buy their Pro version, which some of them are more expensive than the pay programs mentioned above, you're pretty much on your own along with the ads and pop ups and don't forget the spyware. It's your choice.
