The demand for iPhone's is bound to make history and retailers are already concerned whether they would be in a position to meet the growing need of future customers. People who have used iPods know about the multi-purpose benefits of this amazing tool which is a mobile media center and now they are keen to connect it to their mobile phones too.



For iPod owners, the process of downloading music to a hand held gadget should be familiar. When you are new to this world, here are the basics of what you need. At the outset, you need a pc of any type but make sure that it is not an antique piece. You need enough hard drive space for your music downloads, which will not be hard to find, as music downloads are not large files. A lead is needed which would hook up your iPhone to your computer but it is also important to know the sites from where you would download the music of your choice.

To download music on your iPhone, first of all avoid all P2P sites as this is deemed as a criminal activity. It could also mean that your computer gets infected with viruses and the downloaded files could also contain Trojans. Evading these sites is a must, unless you love destroying viruses as a passion. It need to be remembered that there is no site on the net which can offer free and open downloads but there are some reliable sites which allow you to download any music of choice if you decide to pay a small amount as joining fee. These are the sites that you should be looking out for and once you join them they would make your investment worth it.

Needless to mention, your CD collection would also get in to the music on your iPhone and to be able to do this, you need a 'ripper' program for your pc. There are many of these you get where some are even free but to be completely comfortable, you should try out a few and check out, even if you have to pay for it.

Once you have the file on your hard drive, you can convert it to mp3 and then transfer it to your iPhone in the same way as a downloaded mp3 file. You could accomplish this task by using a lead for connection and then opening the iTunes library. Learning how to load music on your iPhone is not that time consuming, you could give it your best shot.
