Free Music Downloads For iPod

Posted on Apr 07, 2010 under free downloads, iPod Music | 3 Comments

Have you had a look around at what’s available on  iTunes in other countries? There are some very different music and videos (and apps for the Touch)  on offer for download to our iPods. And for those with an account in that country, some great free music that we just cannot get at home.

Take a look at what free music is currently on offer to download to our iPods in some other countries:

Now - as you will soon discover if you decide to check this out further - iTunes does not offer a music store in all countries, so no freebies in those countries. But, as you can see, there are regular freebies available in others.

So the question is: how do we get our hands on these freebies? Well, if you purchase an iTunes card for any of these countries, you can set up an account for yourself there. Now, you need a residential address, so it helps if you have a friend in the country of choice who will let you list their address! Check out iPhonegizmo for more details of how to set up an account this way.

And let us know how this worked for you.

iPod Bling Bling

Posted on Mar 28, 2010 under ipod accessories | No Comment

Just a fun post today as we take a walk down memory lane to recall some of the most impressive designs for iPod bling:
First up there is the  gold and diamond decorated iPod Shuffle that went on sale for a cool $41K back in 2007.

And it was pretty impressive.Then there was the solid gold version (reportedly for around $20K) brought out by Xexoo.com

Solid gold is just a bit too expensive? Think maybe the gold plated blinged out iPod is the way to go? Well then, Goldstriker International is the place to look! There you can select 18ct or 24ct in white,rose or yellow gold and choose plain or individually set Swarovski crystals. The one below costs a mere £199.99 (yes its a UK store)

And the good news is that you can get these “skins” to fit other iPods as well - including the iPod touch.

Or perhaps you are the creative type that likes to bling your own stuff. If so, then maybe the people at Bling Bling (also in the UK) can inspire you with some of their efforts:

And then again, there are those who don’t glam the iPod itself but wear it as jewelery with a blinged out chain:

     
Have you glammed out your iPod? Can’t think of what gift to give your favorite person? Well, now you have some ideas to work with!

Tons of Free Videos To Watch On Our iPod

Posted on Mar 22, 2010 under free ipod videos, ipod accessories | No Comment

We have blogged about Wizzard and Juice but not really given much thought to what else is being produced for viewing in this format. We decided to do a bit of a recce and see what else is on offer. We are pleased to let you know there is a LOT out there - all for free! Today's post is about PodcastAlley - which has thousands video podcasts  -  all free.  Check the following demo of one of the available video podcast feeds that you can easily subscribe to and watch on your iPod. Just click on any of the titles to see what you could be watching on your iPod (just click the x to turn off the ads): Here is the link to the  video podcast feed for the ModTV (above) The only shortcoming to the site is finding the video you want. The audios are organized by genre - so you can browse by the type you want - but considering that there are thousands in some categories, this is not as big a help as we really need. The video podcasts don't seem to be organized by any kind of logic - so its a case of browsing and hoping to some extent.This is a pity as there are some really great video feeds in the list. Same problem at both Wizzard and iTunes. Actually, iTunes is the best of a bad lot. What is it with  these sites that can't (or won't?) add a simple search function to their sites???

Unusual Free Downloads for our iPods.

Posted on Mar 17, 2010 under free ipod downloads | 1 Comment Some time ago we posted about a neat free guide that could be downloaded to our iPods - a guide to Glacier National Park - with over 110 pages and 60 photos. We notice that the guide is now selling for $.99 but the developers have another  free guide on offer now . They have a handy new "Notescast" (the format they use) covering the 11 most popular hikes in Yosemite Valley. It comes complete with photos. You can download it for free from this link. There are some other free downloads from TimeStream that could be of interest to a wide audience (because they are so very different) read 10 enchanting stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales on your iPod wherever you go! Plus we can download - for free -  Lewis Carol's, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and in a wildly different genre, there is even  "Rubber to the Road" with 44 Classic Portland (OR) cycling routes -including interactive text with route descriptions and some 240 Photos. If you haven't used notecasts before, then you need to know how to set up your iPod to enable this feature. Its real easy. Just follow the instructions given at  About - it takes, like two minutes to do and is super easy. And remember to SHARE -->

Free iPod Videos Are Great But…..!

Posted on Mar 09, 2010 under iPod Podcasts | No Comment There is more than one way to get free iPod Videos (as you will discover if you check our archives!) Did you know that there are thousands of free quality video podcasts for us to enjoy? Not just educational stuff (which its easy to think podcasts are about) - entertainment - comedy, for example. But before we go further with this, let me just address two issues that can limit how keen people are to use podcasts. Browsing through Twitter to see what podcasts are causing a stir when I came across this request:

How do I get podcast off my ipod but keep them on my itunes? 

I remember now that I've seen this question in one form or another on forums etc. So figure I'll take the time to cover it quickly in a post - for those visitors who are keen podcast listeners and whose iPod hard disk is cramped up from the size of all their the podcasts - listen up:

Just make a playlist on the iPod and drag the podcasts you want to delete to that playlist. Tracks can be deleted from the iPod by selecting them in the playlist and then using the Alt and Delete keys (Mac or Windows).

Another question that I see often asked in the forums is

how do I get rid of podcasts from iTunes that I no longer want?

iTunes is organised so that we can tell it whether to keep podcasts in our library. 1) Browse the podcasts that you have downloaded,  and you’ll see a settings button at the bottom of the jukebox window:

2) Click it, and you will see a new window open with several options to help you organize your iPod library. One of these is "episodes to keep".  The iTunes guideline tells us simply:

If you want episodes to be deleted only manually, choose “All episodes.” To keep each episode until you watch it and then automatically delete it, choose “All unplayed episodes.” To automatically delete all older episodes, choose “Most recent episode” or “Last 2-10 episodes."

Just a couple of easy tips to help keep your iPod and iTunes podcast library well organized! By the way, in case you missed it, our last post had links to thousands of comedy video podcasts. So clear out your iPod and get ready for some fun!

Results Of Our Flash-ier iPod Quiz

Posted on Feb 28, 2010 under ipod software | No Comment A couple of posts ago, we had had a quiz asking iPoders whether they wanted to have Flash on their iPods. Reports from Apple suggest that they don't think its necessary! When we checked out the results we just saw a long string of "yeses". In fact, a massive 94.59% of people who responded to our quiz said "yes"! The people have spoken, Apple, time to pay heed. Adobe figures have been backed up by our research.

We want Flash, We want Flash, We want Flash!!

Free iPod Touch Videos - Tutorials

Posted on Feb 19, 2010 under free iPod stuff, ipod movies | No Comment  iTunesU sometimes has some pretty neat free stuff - music, videos and podcasts mainly. But well worth checking out from time to time as so e of the universities that supply free downloads for iPods have a big budget and produce some quality stuff. We have done many posts telling you all about some great free podacsts in the past. But the iTuneU offers some excellent free iPod videos. The iPodbomb team  does keep an eye out on  iTunesU  and just found another bunch of free videos we though worthy of your attention:

This collection of free video tutorials is quite useful, we thought, as more and more of our readers are upgrading to the Touch. If you have recently done so, then you really should check this lot out as they show us how to best use the iPod Touch.
