Using itunes files for differnt MP3 player

In our household we have 2 iPods and a seperate generic MP3 player. I cannot get itunes songs to the generic MP3 player. It seems almost impossible to copy these.
Does anyone have any ideas?

The DRM protected songs from the iTunes store (the ones that cost .99 and show up as "Protected AAC" if you sort by kind in iTunes) will only work on iPods, your computer and certain iTunes compatible cell phones. They won't work on other mp3 players.
The newer, DRM-free tracks (so far only music on the EMI label, which cost 1.29 and shou up as AAC when sorted by kind) will play on players that support eh AAC format. Some players do and some don't. Check your owner's manual.
Even if your player supports AAC, you won't be able to use iTunes to transfer the files. Again, check the owner's manual for your player to determine how to load music on to it.

  • How do I change an MP-4 to an MP-3 file for my MP3 player?

    I have downloaded a bunch of albums to my new Nextar MP3 player and was really frustrated that only a few of them would play. After many frustrating hours I finally figured out many of my albums were MP-4. Is there a way to change them to MP-3? I'm not real computer savy so please try to keep this simple as possible IF there is a way.
    Thank you

    Other than play them on an authorized computer or on an iPod, the only thing you can do with protected tracks is to burn them to an audio CD which you can use as you would any other audio CD.
    Best of luck.

  • Am I able to easily convert a m4v video file purchased from itunes to a AMV file for a MP3 player that is not an ipod?

    My wife an I each have iphones and ipods, however, my children have some non apple mp3 players.  I've purchased some tv shows via the itunes store that are in the .m4v video format.  The kids mp3 players only supports AMV video files.  Is there a way to easily convert the videos I purchased into the AMV video format so that I can load them onto the kids mp3 players?

    You can do this in iMovie 11.
    Drag your DV clip or clips into a new iMovie project.
    Then use the Share menu:
    SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
    In the dialog box choose Export: Sound to AIFF
    You could do the same thing in MPEG Streamclip or Garageband, but using iMovie is the easiest.

  • How can I get Itunes songs to my mp3 player (Sony Sonic Stage)?

    I've browsed through the forums and it seems a lot of people want to export Sonic Stage files to Itunes!
    I want the opposite. I just bought 100 songs from Itunes and can't get the m4a format changed in the Itunes advanced setting and I can't import the songs into my mp3 player (Sony Sonic Stage) because the files don't appear as part of my folder when searching (even though I'm looking for "all files").
    I tried the Windows explorer to drag and drop from the Itunes folder to my mp3 player (it is flash based but loaded through the software SonicStage)and it didn't work.
    I REALLY don't want to burn all of the new tracks to a CD to try to transfer them all back onto my mp3 player. Am I missing something really simple or is this a compatability flaw? I won't buy any more songs if it's the case but your assistance is GREATLY appreciated

  • Burning iTunes Library onto generic MP3 Player....How?

    Not being able to afford the iPod 2nd Generation Nano, I purchased a 1st generation look-a-like MP3 player for my daughter. We purchase music and burn CDs using iTunes, however, I cannot figure out how to transfer the files to the MP3 player. Since it is not an authentic "iPOD" the Sync selection is not available. I have purchased tons of music through iTunes and feel I should be able to play it on any MP3 player I choose. Is there a way to do this? Please help!!!!

    +I have purchased tons of music through iTunes and feel I should be able to play it on any MP3 player I choose.+
    If the tracks you purchased are DRM-protected, then they are unusable on any non-Apple product (except for certain iTunes-enabled mobile phones).
    +We purchase music and *burn CDs* using iTunes, however, I cannot figure out how to transfer the files to the MP3 player.+
    Is it, ahem, possible to get songs from an *audio CD* to the player?
    For future reference, since you plan to use your songs on both Apple and non-Apple products, please restrict your purchases to non-DRM tracks. That means either iTunes Plus, or MP3s from online stores such as amazon.com.

  • How do I put iTunes songs on my mp3 player, it sails the format from iTunes doesn't work

    Trying to put iTunes songs on my mp3 player, but my mp3 player said they are not mp3s and won't play

    You can create MP3 versions of the songs by following this guide:

  • ITunes doesn't "see" MP3 player device

    Any thoughts? My computer knows the device is plugged in. Windows Media Player knows the device is plugged in. iTunes doesn't. I'm sure it's some silly setting I haven't clicked or unclicked or something along those lines.
    Thanks

    As Meg already pointed out, you won't be able to sync the device directly with iTunes.
    However, if all you need to do for the MP3 player to find the songs is copy them to the device, find the device in "My Computer" and open it. Leave this window open.
    In iTunes, select the songs you want to copy to it, then drag the selection into the open Explorer window. The files will be copied to that location.

  • How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

    Hi,
    How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
    Thank you for your help in advance,

    Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help   thanks,

  • Looking for a MP3 player for audiobo

    I am looking for an mp3 player that meets these requirements. Creative Labs lists like 50 mp3 plays and no easy way to compare features. So does anyone know if anyone sells anything with these features:?- bookmarking: where I can 'save' a place in a audiobook and go listen to other stuff and come back to where I left off. The 'resume' feature on some devices is not adaquete because it assumes I don't want to listen to anything else. Other devices require me to search through hours of a book to find where I left off. I need something that let's me mark a place and return when I want. - FM feature: because sometimes I want to listen to the radio and not my downloaded music or books!?- flash based: because it's lighter weight, no hard dri've to break (gb flash or upgradable flash card insert is fine)?- removable regular batteries: so that if the batteries go bad, i can get new ones and not ship it off to be opened by someone else?that's it!? is that so hard?!
    Please let me know
    !!! [email protected]????

    portrower8,?Do a search at the top of the page for audiobooks. They have been discussed frequently.?First, you are asking for a flash player, so that limits your choices. For audiobooks that you download from NetLibrary or Overdri've, I would only use one?WITHOUT ?PlaysforSure subscription firmware. That way, the electronic library books?never expire, until you delete them yourself.?I prefer to keep my audiobooks separate from my music. I love the Zen Nano plus GB or the 52MB. These days you can buy the GB for $65-70 from Amazon or Creative. These players can hold four or fi've?audiobooks. Granted they don't have bookmarking as such, but you just?do a pause and?turn it off and the?player starts up where you left off.?Just remember if you buy a bigger flash player with subscription ability for your music, any electronic library audiobook will expire?after 2 days. Are planning on just buying all your audiobooks? Have you checked into the new Zen V and?Zen V plus to use for your music??Best wishes,luvmyrescuedogs

  • Savings for Creative Mp3 Player

    BestBuy is having a 25% off all creative mp3 player sale and I was looking at the Zen Micro Photo. I want an mp3 player that can hold alot of songs that I can run with, but I found out mini-hard dri'ves and regular ones arn't suitable for running...So I am going to stick with a large capacity player with alot of features instead of a flash player but I just can't choose. Plz leave suggestions if you were in my place shopping for an mp3 player.

    bosoxxrwd,
    If you're planning to do exercise while using a player. I would suggest going after a flash based player like the Zen Nano Plus, Zen Nano and MuVo series instead of microdri've or harddisk based player.

  • Need Win98SE Driver for Creative MP3 Player LX/MX

    3. I.05
    Dear Creative Support:
    I am trying to locate the Win98SE driver to enable use of my Creative Digital mp3 Player LX/MX200 on an older PC. I forgot to bring the disk along with me containing the Win98SE driver. Win98 will not detect the device without it and would not locate it over the Internet.
    I could not find the driver anywhere on the Creative Technologies web site.
    Do you know where I could locate the driver off the Internet?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jon

    ps: After intalling and registering i got a note telling me that i could now download the driver... But it didn't say where!!!!
    (One more thing: I need a USB driver... sorry)

    this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
    when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
    then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
    And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
    of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .
