My son and I are trying to figure out how to download music to his iPod nano. I am totally clueless. Is there anyone out there that can help us?

The iPod nano came with a cable where one end goes into the iPod nano at the bottom of the iPod into the slot and the other end goes into a usb port on your computer. If your computer is like 10 years old it may not have a usb port so you will have to go out and buy one. So once your iPod is connected to your computer you can open itunes and all the songs in there will automatically start transferring into the iPod

Oooohhh okay. So you have to download from itunes. We were using a different place. We have a new computer so we do have usb port. Thanks for your help.
