ipod help

[Helen7600]

I am looking to buy an MP3 player - I am considerind an ipod but I don't really know how to use one aprt from downloading my music. How much does it cost to download stuff from the web? I have been told there are some good free sites. Also can you download story tapes? Can all MPs players do this? I am a complete novice and I would appreciate any help/advice.

Thanks

itunes charge 79p per tune. You can download some free sites but I have found the best one to be limewire. You have to pay a one off fee and get virus/adware scans included. All downloads are free thereafter. The best music site I have found is Napster but unfortunately it is not compatible to ipod.
