    Where are your files now?
    Why cant you just copy them into your IPod folder for transferring to your Ipod?

    Saved in media player?? You mean currently played with WMP? Some wma's wont go onto your iPOD, apple like being pr1cks when it comes to cooperating with other companies.
    Use itunes to IMPORT music from folders (prob My Music) and then export to your iPOD.

    It all depends on what format you files are in.
    If they are MP3 simply go to the file menu in itunes and choose add folder to library and add what you want.
    If they are WMA you have to convert them to MP3 or AAC which can be dones using itunes. Its not a great idea to encode from one file type to another as you are encoding a sub optimal file type so you will loose some quality. It is better to encode direct from CD

    Recently you have asked us about ripping and transferring CDs.

    "Ripping" is the process of converting music from audio CD format to computer format and then storing it on a PC.
    Software is required to do this job. The end result is stored on your computer for listening purposes or for transferring onto a portable jukebox such as HDD120.

    The two most common file formats in use are MP3 and WMA, both of which are supported by this product.

    MP3 files became popular when people began to download songs from the Internet and there are many free programs which can be downloaded from the internet to rip to MP3. Examples are FreeRipMP3, CDEX , Musicmatch etc.[ A search on the internet will show many more ]
    Typically these programs are downloaded and installed on the PC, and they will allow you to rip the music from the audio CD to a music folder on the PC.

    WMA files are similar but have been made popular because current versions of Windows have a rip feature supplied in Windows Media Player. The main difference with WMA files is that they have extra security which can be switched on to prevent further copying, for example to your HDD120 ! Therefore it is important to ensure that copy protection is switched off when ripping WMA files.

    The final step in the process is to use Philips DMM software to transfer valid MP3 or WMA files from the music folder on your PC to the HDD120.
