If you have purchased a lot of music from apple for your iPod. The files might not play on android, or other non-apple devices. I am not 100% certain though, since I don't own any apple products yet. Just something to consider. My entire music collection are mp3 files, so I can play them on any device.

I have an ipod but have been buying cd's thus far. But good thinking. I do have a computer that can convert music files to various file types so I should be good there. I'm wondering on the quality of technology. I like my ipod and can't get a replacement. It's a older nano but with a screen...wasn't cheap. But I'm tired of apple being so... over priced. idk... Basically want something for my music ...maybe a phone too... So far it's cheaper to buy a separate phone and an ipod than to buy an iphone. Plus I'm thinking I may get a ipad for music and beach...while out. I just don't know what to do.

I know what a computer is but...I don't know what an IPod is. (Wow, that makes me a n00b at something)

Nano, IPod, IPad, IPhone, what do all these terms mean.

Cd...phone...wow, two terms I actually know the meaning of.

Android is an operating system like Microsoft Windows Mobile or Apple iOS.

Ipods are like Sony Walkmans but digital. IPhone is a type of phone. And ipads are larger versions of the iPhone. I'm sure you have seen one or two.

Android is a type of operating system for phones, one of the three competing companies.
