7 Things to Look For Before Choosing Your iPod Movie and Music Download Website

There are many sites that will give you everything you need to download millions of media files to your iPod to enjoy at your own convenience.

Some are better than others.

Let's cut straight to the chase.

You should first of all try to locate sites that will give you all of the latest tools for accessing the largest file networks possible. Which leads us to the first thing to look for in a good iPod download website.

1. Variety. Many iPod download sites will give you access to all the necessary tools to search and download all kinds of files for your iPod or computer. Basically, you will be able to find whatever you need for your IPod or computer. This includes games, movies, software, wallpapers, and much more.

2. Compatibility. The second thing to look for when locating a good iPod media download site is one that offers services that are compatible with older iPods.

A few of the better sites will only limit your downloads to what it is your iPod is designed for. For example: if you have an ipod shuffle all you can download is music but if you have an ipod video you can download videos as well.

The best sites will allow you to download music, games, images, wallpapers, screensavers, and software. I've even found a few where the music downloads are available at no extra cost!

The other compatibility issue is your internet connection.

The best iPod download sites will provide down load services whether you have a 56k connection or broadband. Obviously with a 56k connection, the download rate is much lower than the rate of a broadband connection. You can easily download music with out a problem, though it is normally recommended you use a broadband connection when downloading videos.

3. Software. Always make sure the site you're interested in downloading from includes with your membership the movie to iPod

transfer software. This software will transfer any movie from your computer to your iPod device.

For instance, let's say you download your favorite movies to your PC. You will then be able to watch them there using a regular media player, or you will be able to record them using the necessary CD / DVD burning software. With the movie to iPod transfer software, you will be able to download all your favorite movies to your PC and transfer them to your iPod.

4. Support. What kind of support does the site offer? Is there someone available around the clock 7 days a week? The best sites will offer full support inside the members area, you should be able to contact them at anytime and submit your questions. You should get clear concise answers back in a timely manner.

5. Confidentiality. As always when doing business on the Net, you should ensure that the registration process and payment pages are 100% secure. Look for secure SSL certification that can be verified.

6. Software Requirements. The Better download websites will not require any extra software. Everything you need should be provided in the members area.

7. Payment. Find out whether or not you will be billed again. Is this a subscription or are the memberships one time fees? Will you have to pay per download?

There are some excellent sites on the Net for downloading media to your iPod. But, as I said at the beginning of the article, some are better than others.

Do a little research and you should do just fine.
