Thinkable Ron is a sports freak. Be it tennis, football or golf, he never ever misses a single fixture. But he wasn’t the least bit disappointed when he missed the men’s singles finals of the French Open this year. All he did was download highlights of the match on his iPod and take it along on his business trip. That’s pretty cool, huh? Well, with iPod downloads, you can watch movies, music videos, play iPod games and a whole lot more.
Where can I get these downloads?
iTunes store from the Apple repertoire is a good idea to start with. You’ll require 1 GHz Pentium processor, 256 MB RAM, 16 MB video RAM in addition to a broad band connection to facilitate the downloads, if you work on a Mac. Ron also insists on software called Quicktime that is both Mac and Windows compatible, responsible for audio and video playback on the computer. You can download it free on the internet. In the case of Windows, a 2Ghz Pentium processor, 512 MB RAM, 32 MB video RAM in addition to Quicktime is all that is needed to complete the downloads. Yes, you surely need’nt be reminded of the CD/DVD –R drive.
Downloads from iTunes store will cost you. $5 is what you end up paying for each game that you download. Do a whole lot more, like organize files on your system, transfer on to your iPod and carry along wherever you go.
“Since I have to pay for every download I do from the iTunes store, I’ve ended up paying more than my iPod in a few months”, Ron remarks. So, the next best option is to visit the free downloads sites. But these downloads must be legal and free from any viruses that have the potential to corrupt your system. Here are a few things that Ron always ensures before downloading any content:
* Ensure that the site is completely legal and downloads are free of all viruses.
* These sites charge a one time membership fee that ranges between $30 to$40. Thereafter, there are no payments to be made.
* Their database must be exhaustive, make sure they have the latest block busters.
* Check if they provide free software to copy CD’s. Downloads should be fast, you don’t have all day, right?
* Look for solid technical support, 24×7.
* Downloads should be compatible with both Mac and Windows.
Just adhere to these tips and you’re ready to download and go, like Ron who just can’t stop raving about Rafael Nadal’s blistering performance!
