I forked out some cash and went and bought a 20 GB, 4th Generation yesterday. My question is in order to hold the maximum amount of songz do I have to convert the songz into MP3 format first before loading them onto the player? I am mainly using songz out of my CD collection that aren't loaded on my computer. If so, how do I go about doing this (converting into MP3)? My other question is in order to list a full CD under Genre, Artist, or Album do I first have to load the full CD on to the computer in it'z own separate folder and then load it into one of these categories? I already know how to click the plus sign in the lower left hand corner and load them that way but that is not what I'm wanting to do. I want to be able to search through my iPod by Artistz. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
