Download Music Using Torrents and Upload Them to Your iPod

Have you ever wanted to download music to your iPod without having to use the iTunes software? This article can teach you how to do so using torrent sites and then transferring the files to your iPod.

Steps

  1. Download a torrent software. Try using UTorrent.com, the torrent software is easy to use and navigate, it only takes about 2 minutes to download it and then to install it onto your computer.
  2. Pick a site to download your torrents.
  3. Enter the name of the artist, song or soundtrack that you would like to download in the search bar at the top of the page. Click the search button.
  4. Pick a file to download, look at the icons next to the files to determine which ones are safe (ie: if they are a member of the site. If there are comments, read them all to see if other people feel it is a good quality download or not).
  5. Click on the "Download" icon next to the file, it will say something similar to "Download this Torrent" or "Click here to download".
  6. Once you click the icon uTorrent will open, and a page will pop up that asks which of the available files you would like to download. Select any that you need. (It is advised to deselect anything that is not the album art or the music to avoid unwanted files).
  7. Click OK in the window. Your torrent software will show you the progress of your download.
  8. Once the download is complete it will be stored in the folder shown in the download window two steps above.
  9. The music is now downloaded. To add the tracks to your iTunes library, first open iTunes, click on "File" then select the "Add Folder to Library" option.
  10. A pop up window will open titled "Add To Library", and here you must select the folder we just talked about that you downloaded your music into.
  11. Select the folder that you want to add to your library, and click OK.
  12. Your music will be imported into your iTunes library.
  13. As usual, connect your iPod to your computer and sync it.
