Every iPod owner must have tried to look for opportunities to download music for iPod from the Internet. You must have also discovered that apart from the default iTune website there are numerous other websites offering similar services. However, the selection can be too overwhelming to decide which site is the best for your needs.

Here are the criteria to stick to:

1. Access to millions of music, songs and other media files of a wide range of genres. Make sure that the service provides this to you. And they must update their library frequently.

2. Best price. By that, make sure you choose one that offers you unlimited music downloads for a one-time membership fee to download music for your iPod.

3. No additional charges. Ensure that what you are paying for is the membership rights to access the music files. If they ever want to charge you additional fees for the software needed to carry out the file downloading and conversion, avoid these. Such tools are often provided free in the membership area.

4. High quality of soundtracks. Unfortunately, even paid music websites sometimes fail to provide good quality of the files due to poor encoding or other reasons. Not to mention free P2P websites, where the quality of the shared files is almost always lousy.

5. Compatible format. MP3, AAC and WMA are all appropriate for your iPod. If a website provides other formats, it should also supply free software to convert the files into a format that is playable on your iPod.

6. Full support and easy navigation. If you have to spend hours trying to figure out how the stuff works, move on. There are plenty of user-friendly websites where you can download music for iPod without any hassle. Good technical support available 24/7 is another helpful feature.

7. Quick downloading speed, full version songs and correct song titles are important. Paid websites normally get these right. The same however cannot be said about free music sharing sites. These are notorious for slow speeds, incomplete songs and often give you a wrong track.

8. PC protection. You need to make sure that the site offers you complete protection from viruses, worms, Trojans, adware, spyware and all kinds of harmful codes. This is to be assured that when you download music for iPod, you do so in a safe environment.

9. Secured environment for payment and a privacy policy. Since you could be using a credit card to make payment, the last thing you want to happen is a leak of your private details.

10. Copyright and rights to distribute. Some sites are scam sites and do not have the distribution rights. Go with those that have an arrangement with the music producers. So when you download music for iPod, you can be sure that you are not infringing any copyright laws.
