Cant get purchased songs to my MP3 player

We purchased songs on itunes we can listen to them on our computer but when we try to put them on our MP3 player all we get is an album photo but no music. How can we listen to our purchased songs on our MP3 player?

If it's a protected song, you can't. Eighty percent of the iTunes Store music is now available in an unprotected format, and a previously protected song can be upgraded for 30 cents in the United States.
If it's not protected, open the iTunes preferences, click on General, push the import settings button, change the default encoder to MP3, right-click the songs in iTunes, and convert them to MP3. iTunes Store songs come as AAC files; only podcasts include MP3s natively.

  • 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

  • HT4539 I just down loaded itones to my computer, then bought a bunch of music.  How do I add the songs to my mp3 player.  When I go to "file" and then devices the button that says sync isn't availlible to push, so I cant put the music on my mp3???  Help

    itunes will only sync with an ios device.
    On the other hand, if you have a usb cord for your mp3 player, and you know what FOLDER your itunes music is located in (and for me its located at C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media  )
    you can just select that folder and copy it to your mp3 player.
    typically when you first plug in something like an mp3 player you get a windows alert asking if you want to view the contents of the device- say yes. copy your itunes folder to the music folder on your mp3 player.

  • How to erase songs from an MP3 player?

    I know this is strictly not an Apple question but I have looked around and cannot find an answer to my problem. I have an MP3 player. It is formatted to DOS FAT.
    I can add mp3 songs without any problem to the MP3 player by just attaching it to a USB cable and then moving songs from iTunes Library by drag and drop.
    I am having trouble erasing songs from the mp3 player.
    I put the songs I do not want into Trash by dragging and dropping or by just choosing Put into Trash and they disappear from the window.
    However, the songs are still on the mp3 player and I can still play them.
    I have tried deleting the files from the mp3 player itself but it doesn't work either.
    I am now thinking of formatting the mp3 player and erasing the disk using Disk Utility. Will that work? Or would that mean that my mp3 player will no longer function as an mp3 player?
    The documentation is in a non-English language as the mp3 player was bought overseas so I can't get help from the mp3 manufacturer's website.
    Any suggestions?
    I don't want to muck up the mp3 player so that I cannot listen to music. I'd rather keep the unwanted songs than do that because I will have to visit the A/S center to make the mp3 function again and that's a lot of bother. So that's why I am checking here first before I do anything drastic.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for that tip.
    I found what the problem was (kind of) ...
    When I tried to delete the songs that shouldn't be there, the delete function wouldn't work. When I pressed the button for "delete file", instead of deleting the file, it would take me to the first song which I didn't want to delete.
    What I did in the end was:
    * I chose the first song (which was meant to be there).
    * I chose "Delete everything" ---> This time the delete function worked properly and the disk was wiped empty.
    * I then added all the songs I wanted individually again to the mp3 player.
    * I checked the mp3 player after adding the desired songs --- all the undesired songs had disappeared (unlike last time when they were still on the mp3 player even after I had removed them using the hard drive of my computer to open the mp3 player and delete the songs).
    The problem was that the delete function didn't work properly when I was trying to delete the undesired songs (that weren't meant to be there as I had taken them to the Trash on my hard drive).
    I might try your suggestion next time. I presume you mean empty the Trash on my mac. My mp3 player doesn't have a Trash folder (not that I can see anyway).

  • How to transfer songs from old MP3 player to Ipod

    I have just upgraded to a 30gig Ipod Video. I had a Sony Walkman MP3 player before. I have got a couple of hundred songs on that MP3 player that I want to put on my Ipod. When I plug my old MP3 player into the computer and open Itunes, the songs come up in the Connect Player format (Connect Player is the Sony Walkman software). When I try to add them to Itunes it doesnt do anything or come up with any error message. I know they are the wrong format, how do I change them into a format that will go into Itunes.

    You need software that will convert the songs to iPod form. You can just google the phrase "iPod Music Converter". And if you cant find anything change the phrase around a little bit.

    You made a mistake already.  If you want MP3s, it is better to avoid the iTunes Store altogether, and buy songs in MP3 format (e.g. from Amazon Digital Music or other source).
    But all is not lost.  First check whether your MP3 player can play songs in AAC format.  If yes, continue to next step.  If not, convert your Purchased AAC files to MP3 per this guide:
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    Once you have them in the right format, add them to the MP3 player.  iTunes is not capable of automatically syncing a non-Apple device.  However, for most players you can connect via USB, highlight the tracks you want from iTunes, and drag them into the player.

    Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

    iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music.

  • A way to get purchased songs

    Over quite some time I have made extensive purchases from I-tunes some of which my computer tells me can no longer be found. Is there a way to get purchased songs back from iTunes without having to buy them again?

    Restore them from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

  • Getting purchased songs from itunes store onto new computer

    I have a brand new computer and ipod, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get previously purchased songs from the itunes store into my library and onto my ipod. My computer is already authorized and I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I know there is a way to get purchased songs from an ipod into itunes, but I can't figure out store into library.
    I am confused. Purchased items are from the store.
    iTunes is the library.
    So if you know how to get purchased > iTunes, then you already are moving store > library.
    The easiest way to get everything from old computer to new computer is...
    Copy the entire \Music\iTunes folder from the old computer to \Music\ on the new computer.
    You can use your iPod.

    I have bought some songs from itunes PLUS but I am not able to place it on my generic mp3 player. The file format is Mpeg 4 and NOT mp3 how can I listen to my songs on my non apple player ?

    You can use iTunes to create an MP3 from the AAC that you pruchased in the iTunes Store. Look in iTunes Help at the article "Saving a copy of a song in a new file format."
