    You can import music into your library from CDs and folders if you have it on your computer. You may need to use another application designed for your existing music player if there is anything you need to get off that.

    iTunes will not read the Windows Media Player library, but if you know where the files are stored can be imported into that.

    iTunes Store is just one option.

    Once the songs are in the iTunes Library and the iPod is connected to the computer and visible in iTunes (left had side, under Devices) click into it. Select the Music tab, check the Sync Music box and Apply.

    Of course the music will need to be in a format that the iPod can play, meaning if it was imported from CD using Windows Media Player it may not be.
