PS Jennifer, wondering if you found anything good like choral singing in free apps. Have selected music category there, but am not familiar with any of icons there that will lead me to "easy listening" kind of song. You have any luck? And thanks.

Try MusOpen.org for free music to download. It's not an app, it's a source
of actual music. It's also a donation-supported org but you don't have to
donate. Memberships give more d/l privileges.

Download music itself (whether you buy it somewhere & import into iTunes, or
rip from your CDs into iTunes) and sync to device. You use the built-in
music app to play it.

BJ, best news heard all day. Thanks. Wanna get money's use out of the Touch, and do so by hearing what I like best, good music. Looking forward to checking out MusOpen. May even contribute if delighted! And as for downloading and importing into iTunes, never done it. Nor done any "sync-ing";. Got friends to show me, I hope! For now, another big "thank you" to you!

Do you have CDs of your music?
Does your computer have a CD/DVD slot?
If so, run iTunes, put a CD in the tray & close, and iTunes should ask you
if you want to import it into iTunes (my particular CD-tray sometimes needs
a 2nd harder shove-in to get a response!). Follow the prompts.

A *lot* of the music in my iTunes library is imported -- "ripped" -- from my
CDs.
(there are also ways to rip cassettes & even vinyl -- but it's not as easy
as CDs)

If you d/l from MusOpen, note where you d/l *to*. Then open iTunes to the
music list, and use the "import" function in the menu [File-Add file] --
navigate to the d/l folder & select tune(s) to import. Or have iTunes open
and also an Explorer window open and drag from d/l folder to iTunes music
list. Depending on your iTunes preferences settings
[Edit-Preferences-Advanced], this will either copy the file (leaving the
original d/l version where it was) or move it.

You may also be interested in browsing the iTunes Store podcast offerings --
most free; just search on any subject & look through the results. Same with
iTunesU -- lots of things to listen to & most of it FREE.

Happy listening.
bj
