Can't transfer mp3 files to ipod

Hi folks,
two months ago I left the WIndows world and migrate to MacOS purchasing an iMAC (MacOS 10.6).
It's simply perfect!
However, I am an addicted user of Windows based recording software that enables you to record radio broadcasts.
Well, I simply implemented VMWare Fusion with a WIndows XP guest system. The recording of radio programmes works fine and I am able to transfer the mp3 data from the Windows XP guest to MacOS host.
iTunes can play these mp3 files but I am not able to transfer these files to my ipod!?
I know this is a rather unusual scenario.
But is there anybody who can give me a clue what to do??
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards from Germany to the rest of the Mac world
Klaus

Hi Diane,
thanks for your reply.
In fact, your question put me on right path.
I used to transfer files to my ipod by syncing a special playlist. However, my ipod was configured in such a way that it only allows podcasts to be transferred. Well, as soon as I allowed music files (i.e. mp3 files) to be transferred, my problem was solved.
Thanks for your support & Greetings from the Rhine area in Germany to the famous music city
Klaus

  • Can you transfer WMV files to ipod????

    Does any one know if you can transfer WMV files to ipod?? and if so how do you go about it.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Jonathan.
    The problem is I don't know how to set any of this. These programs are quite complicated for someone who until up yesterday, didn't know the difference between a wmv file and a mpeg.
    What I really don't understand is why my other wmv files imported without a problem and this one is being such a bear.
    Ok, so I have 3 programs I downloaded. Media Coder, Videora, and MPEG Streamclip... So I have the wmv file. Which program do I use first? One of them makes an avi file, but then I don't know what to do with that or which program to use after I have an avi file.
    I've been able to make an mpeg4 file, but it's blank. So can you tell me which program I should use first? I can come back to here to view the standards you layed out. Thanks.
    P.S. As a last resort, I'd even be willing to pay someone to do it remotely if that would work.

  • How can I transfer mp3 files from my PC to my Ipod Touch 4?

    I have an Ipod Touch 4 that was given to me. I use it almost exclusively to listen to audio books downloaded from various libraries. Once upon a time long ago I did manage to download some music (mp3 files) to the Ipod but I have no idea how. Now I would like to transfer some additional mp3 files to the Ipod but I have no idea how to do so and I have not been able to find any instructions that make sense using Google. I should also mention that I find ITunes to be the most confusing non-discoverable software I have every encountered. The instructions for dummies won't do. When it comes to ITunes I need the instructions for someone who can just barely find the on/off switch with both hands in daylight. Thanks for any help.
    P.S. I developed business application software for 40 years so I am PC literate, just not ITunes and Ipod literate.<g>

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    How to transfer mp3 files to 4s from a PC without itunes?

    No can do. Closest you can do is to use iCloud and iTunes Match. Otherwise, for mp3 files you will have to import them to iTunes on the computer and then sync them to the phone.

    Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.
