I am thinking about buying an Ipod from a friend cause I have like 1700 songs on my computer....... but correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think you can put Itunes on a computer with windows 98se? Or is there any other way to get my songs on to the ipod with another program?

The Ipod comes with the it's own software and you can put it on any computer.

My friend says he doesnt have the software anymore?

I would think as long as you have the adapter to hook it up to a USB, you should be able to transfer files to it without any problem. I could be wrong, but I do not think you are required to use a specific software to add or delete music.

Yeah, I have tried to extract files from it. It wont work. He doesnt have the software for it either. I have tried to get it online and the website (itunes) says that the software that you can download only works on 2000 and xp. I downloaded it just to make sure and it wont work!

A friend of mine said that he had to register his ipod to his itunes on HIS computer. Basically, he was telling me that he can only use that computer that he registered it to to transfer music. That's what I understood though.

Man, you need to get with the times.... Windows 98 is played out! Next thing I'm gonna hear is that you're still trying to find new games for your Atari 2600 Just playin man... the Ipod only works with ITunes so I guess you're gonna have to update mang

I think what you need is the usb driver for windows 98. Do a search on it to find it. It will work! All your doing is plugging an external Harddrive into your computer via an usb port.

Of course he has to have USB support on his computer. But the hardware/drivers is not the issue, it's the iTunes software.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes
"iTunes is compatible with computers running Mac OS X, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. The program was initially developed on Mac OS 9, but OS 9 support was discontinued with the release of iTunes 3; in addition, no version of iTunes has supported a non-NT based Windows release such as Windows 98 or Me."

There's actually a petition someone started to try to get iTunes available on those operating systems: http://www.petitiononline.com/win98me2/petition.html

However, you can use other software instead of Apple's iTunes
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columni...rnatives_x.htm
"At one time, the iTunes software was the only way to load and organize an iPod's music. No more. Ephpod (www.ephpod.com) will also load and organize music on computers using Microsoft Windows 98 and later. And Ephpod has another great feature — it will allow you to move the music from the iPod back to the computer. This could be important if your original hard drive crashes and takes your tunes with it.
A second program, Winamp (www.winamp.com), also can be used to load and unload the iPod. It is more complicated, since it requires a plug-in — Ml_pod (www.mlipod.com). Winamp also works on Windows 98 and later."

you can use an ipod with a windows 98 computer. you need 3rd party software. do and internet search, i forget what it is called. it is about $25. I did this for a frienda couple of years ago. we also needed toinstall a firewire card in her computer...about $15.

damn if your still runnin 98 and have a new ipod somethin isnt right here....get that new comp then put itunes and kceasy.com for music and your set...

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. I-Pods use a proprietary format that can only be read with the right software. I have a 4GB I-Pod mini.

It does work, though, supposedly.
