Asea in the Technical Age

About three weeks ago I got an iPod as a result of a promotional program on chocolate milk that I did at work. It's an amazing toy, so I'm told. Being the techno-clod that I am, I haven't been able to put on it any songs, games, pictures or whatever else can be put on it. I finally got the screen changed to where I can register it and get it set up, but so far I'm still not able to get songs on it. Do they make iPod for Dummies manuals? I really could use one.
