April 9th, 2010
These days pretty much everyone can afford the luxury of having some kind of personal sound system with which to enjoy their music wherever they go. The days of the Discman and the Walkman however are over, for today the most popular personal media device is the Ipod, a digital mp3 player which has taken the world by storm.
New technology such as the Ipod can add a huge amount of enjoyment to your day in many ways, whether it is easing the boredom of your train ride home from work or even making that early morning jog that much easier to complete. However all new technologies will come with some problems, the most common of these being the ease of use to the owner. Nothing could be more annoying than having this great piece of technology and not be able to take advantage of its features due to a lack of detailed instructions in how to use it. One of the most common problems people run into is exactly how to download music into your Ipod.
I must admit I did have some trouble downloading music from my computer to my Ipod when I first got it, so once I had it all figured out I thought a quick guide on how to download music into your Ipod would probably be quite appreciated. I hope this guide makes your Ipod experience that much easier and more enjoyable.
So the first step is obviously having music on your computer because there is no use in learning how to download music into your Ipod if you don’t actually have any music in the first place. Music, usually in the form of mp3 files, can be obtained via various methods, either by downloading them from a subscriber site or converting your cd collection to mp3 via a conversion program. I have included a link to some great subscriber sites at the end of this article, some of which come with bonus converting software on signup which will allow you to convert your whole cd collection to digital mp3 form.
The next step in our how to download music into your Ipod guide is of course to find the song or video you want to watch on the subscriber site. Once you have found the desired file, make sure you choose the Video Ipod/ Sony PSP download option. This is simply to ensure that you get the correct file type to be watched on your Ipod. Then you’ll need to download the file to a place on your computer, it is best to create a folder called Ipodfiles or something similar so you will know exactly where they are. If of course you are using conversion software to convert your cd collection then the software will lead you through the process.
Once you have your music or movie on your computer, it is then time to connect your Ipod to your computer via its USB cord. On most computers there is a USB port at the front of the computer, otherwise it will be at the back just below where you plug in your keyboard and mouse.
Open the Apple iTunes application. Select ‘Add File to Library’ from the ‘File’ menu in the iTunes application. Browse your computer for the song you previously downloaded and click ‘Open.’ Then Click ‘Edit,’ then click ‘Preferences in the iTunes application. Once that is done click the ‘Ipod’ tab, then click ‘Songs,’ and then ‘Automatically update all Songs.’ Lastly, you should click ‘OK.’
This is where Apples ITunes software really comes into its own, as it will do all the work for you from this point on. It will automatically download all the music onto your Ipod for you, then all you need to do is select the file in your Ipod and you’ll be good to go.
If all instructions above have been followed correctly you should now know how to download music into your Ipod and listen to it. As you can see, it is not a complicated process and you should be able to achieve this quite easily.
As mentioned above, one of the most important parts of this process is picking the right subscriber site. The wrong one will not have the selection you desire, and could end up costing you more than you are willing to pay if it charges download fees. So I have created a small page with links to two great Ipod sites which do not charge download fees and have a massive selection of songs and movies. But don’t take my word for it, check them out for yourself and pick the right one for you because now you know how to download music into your Ipod you need a vast selection to choose from.

Road Trip Tips for Kids and Parents
January 6th, 2010
Most parents noticeably wince when making preparations for a long road trip, and for good reasons. They are anticipating the age-old questions and declarations of, “Are we there yet?” “How much longer?” “Mom, Bobby’s touching me!” or “I gotta go potty – NOW!”
While I can’t promise that your testy travelers will turn into angelic adventurers, I can offer some helpful tips to cut back on stress – yours and theirs:
To offer more leg and elbow room, as well as eliminate cries of someone being squished, strategically pack suitcases and boxes, and other things that will not be needed during the trip, in the vehicle’s trunk, cargo area, or on the roof top. This would include hang-up clothes – make it a point not to have any. Wrinkles are a lot easier to deal with than temperamental munchkins. Besides, the clothes would probably be more wrinkled with the kids crawling on them.
Give each child a plastic box with a lid to store their books, games, toys, etc. and to help keep the vehicle from getting cluttered. Plus, the lid can be used as a desktop and/or to hold food.
Wrap up small, inexpensive toys, books or games from the dollar store that can be handed out during restless times or as good behavior rewards during the trip. The kids will look forward to these treats, and will enjoy the added bonus of unwrapping their surprises.
Bring along plastic grocery or trash bags that can be used to store dirty laundry, wet clothes or trash. Also, keep a supply of wet wipes available to clean fingers, faces and accidents, which can then be tossed in the plastic bag for disposal.
Have plenty of snacks and bottled water on hand. These will help with the grouchies, boredom attacks and cut down on food stops. And when you do have a food, gas or rest stop, bring out a Frisbee or ball to play with for some quick exercise.
As you know, many vehicles are equipped these days with a VCR or DVD player, but do not fret if yours doesn’t. Bring along audio cassette stories like the Rescuers Down Under, Dr. Doolittle, etc. These can be played in the car’s tape deck for everyone’s enjoyment, or individually in a walkman player. Audio cassette tapes can be checked out through your local library, purchased in a bookstore, or rented at a Cracker Barrel store.
Here’s a fun way to teach your children the state capitols: When you’re on the road, have someone point out state license plates. The person that sees it will say the state’s name and tap another person to name the capitol of that state. If the person tapped doesn’t know, he/she will then tap someone else to name the capitol.
Play the “I Spy” game. First, pick out an object that everyone can see. Then give them a clue by saying, “I spy something …” (say its shape, color or size). The other players can ask questions about what you see, but you can only answer with “yes” or “no.” The first player who guesses what you see, becomes the new spy.
Little ones who know their colors and numbers can participate in another game where players choose a color such as red, blue, or green and count how many cars of that color they see until they reach their destination. The person who counted the most cars wins that round.
If you or your child require special medication and/or treatment, take along a letter from your doctor that lists all your medications, dosages, and when to take them, as well as your treatment plan. And, as an added precaution, be sure to have a small first-aid kit in the car.
Most of all, have fun and drive safely!
