Of course I think now that iPods are awesome. If you don’t think so, you just don’t know what you are missing. I felt the same way about all these “gadgets” coming on the market today. I have a home PC as well as a PC laptop that I travel with, and just like so many other people, I’m not that great with computers. I used to just download from iTunes and I was surprised at just how easy it was! Even I can do that!

I used to just download TV shows that I missed when I traveled, but soon grew bored using my iPod just for that. Then I tried copying my own DVD’s and CD’s to my PC and then transferring them to my iPod, but I still felt I was missing out on something. It just seemed too expensive to download from the internet. Too expensive for everything I needed anyway. I just needed to find some way to download legally that would not suck my wallet dry.

The Apple store just started to cost me way too much to keep using them for all my needs “Wants” really, but hey, lets not get too picky. You are basically paying for each download individually. To top it off you are also paying retail prices for all these downloads. That just adds up too quickly in my book.

So I then started searching the internet, reading everything I could that seemed related to downloading to iPods. I’ve read many articles and reviews about downloading movies, music, TV shows and even games. What I found was there are MANY other options besides just downloading from Apple. Just as legal and safe too!

I have found several iPod download sites that are all that I stated above…and it is much cheaper too. With the same quality! Basically, I went to a website and read a review of a download site that I had also heard about on several blogs around the internet. I started with several to see which I liked best and finally settled on one.

All I do is pay a small, one-time fee and I get unlimited downloads for everything I need (want). That is any time of day or night, all year long for life! Exactly what I wanted! You just need to look around. There are many alternatives to Apple!
