i just purchased an ipod nano (the newest kind) today and i was wondering if it was possible to get movies from dvds onto the ipod instead of paying $15 or whatever it is for the same movies. also, i have music from my old ipod i took from friend's computers - my ipod won't let me drag the music into my itunes, but is it somehow possible to get htis music onto my new ipod? thanks so much!
