Copiing music off mp3 player he

Hey i need help copiing my music back off my mp3 player back to my computer. I have tried that sync manager thing but it messes up and only copies 400 or so of my songs. The other songs arent showing up in .mp3 or .wma format at all. Even when vieing them in the explorer. Yet when my mp3 player is pluged in the songs play through the creative organizer.

- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database.

BEST CREATIVE APPLICATION 4 BURNING MUSIC & COPYING MUSIC OFF Z.MIC

Please help me. I just wanna know what the best creative application is to burn music and or copy music off my Zen Micro. I've looked at all the details, but I just don't know which one to choose. All the help, suggestions, and feedbacks will be greatly appreciated.

I like Zen Micro Media Explorer. It's similar enough to Windows Explorer that I didn't have much of a learning curve to drag & drop files into my ZM.
I'd rather listen to music than have to spend a lot of time learning how to use new software- I've got enough on my plate with PhotoShop.

Moving music from mp3 player to media player

I have a Zen-X Fi and have used another computer that has all of my music in Windows Media Player. I have sync'd my Zen with the WMP. I also have a laptop and would like to add the music off of my Zen, unto either the WMP or MediaMonkey. How in the world do I do this?

This is to get sounds on to your phone from your computer.
First of all you need to put the software from the provided CD on your computer, attach the phone by the cable, choose file manager, and then just copy MP3s from your computer to the memory card (or the phone itself but you can't put much on there), into the folder Sounds, Simple. Disconnect, go to the phone, open music player, options, music library, options update music library (and that choice of menu doesn't always seem to show so don't be surprised if you can't find it, go back and try again - eventually it will appear - just took me three goes as I was double checking).
I assume if you already have the sounds on the phone but in the wrong folder you just need to move them within file manager.
Hope that works for you.Message Edited by kangaroo400 on 25-Jul-2006

Copy songs to MP3 player

When I bought a 2 GB mp3 player for $10, I thought I had a DEAL! When I copied approximately 1.8 GB of songs to this mp3, it stopped with only 94 songs being copied. It shows 1.3 GB available.
Does anyone know a way to copy all the songs to what appears to be sufficient room on the mp3 player?
When I copied songs to a flash drive and then to a WINDOZ computer, a message popped up informing me that hidden files were present. I chose the option not to copy those hidden files. It turned out they were 4 KB files, and I deleted them.
Next I deleted everything from the mp3 player and copied files onto the player from the WINDOZ computer. Now 178 songs are on the mp3 player, and they occupy 1.07 GB. This means it still has room for more songs. However, it refuses to copy even one more song.
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy more songs when adequate space remains? No more hidden files remain on the player.

That was my idea (to format it using OS X), but I am unsure as to whether I would then be able to listen to any of the songs if it is in another format. Disk Utility told me it was FAT16. My info about FAT16 is that it should be able to accommodate more than 178 files. These problems don't appear in OSX.
The player is an Eclipse-mp3 sold by a group whose business name is Mach Speed. They are located in Oklahoma. I have an idea they bought a batch from China and resold them. They are like the 1 GB and 2 GB aluminum Shuffles, but they are black and slightly larger. Headphones can be attached to listen to tunes while it is plugged into the computer. Tiger is not selling them now, probably because they received many complaints about the player. I bought more than one, and on one of them the volume cannot be changed.
Compounding the copy problem is the auto-shutdown of this player (to conserve its battery). Mac always interprets this as an improper disconnect. It does not shut down while files are being copied to it or while it is playing. When it disconnects, it interrupts what I was doing with it.

Call me silly but how do you get your music off your ipod....

My old computer crashed, lucky me all my music was on my ipod, but now how do i get it out!!! and on to a new computer?? help

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Concerns about getting music off iPod!! Help!

Ok, I don't want to download any program to take songs off my iPod classic 160GB.
I am following this guideline taking the music from the 'hidden folder':
http://www.metaphoriclabs.com/articles/5-ways-to-copy-music-off-your-ipod-window s-mac-os-x/
TWO questions:
*1.) When I go in to click for the folder to be "unhidden" and 49 folders show up, are the songs that I have PURCHASED on itunes included in these songs?*
*2.) I am reading that when saving songs and putting them on iTunes, I am supposed to "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized." When I do this and go back into iTunes to see my music, EACH song is in a different folder.*
Why would people keep the music in folders instead just list the songs (or their code name) in a folder? It would be insane if I had to buy a new iPod and would have to click on each folder to add the song in it.
Please help!

1.) When I go in to click for the folder to be "unhidden" and 49 folders show up, are the songs that I have PURCHASED on itunes included in these songs?
Yes - they will be randomly scattered among the 50 folders. Each media file has a randomised 4 letter filename but retains it's original filetype. Put Windows Explorer into Details view. Your older DRM'd iTunes store purchases will have a file type described something like *AAC Audio (Protecteed)*. Other purchases will be mixed with any other files you've imported in AAC format.
2.) I am reading that when saving songs and putting them on iTunes, I am supposed to "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized." When I do this and go back into iTunes to see my music, EACH song is in a different folder.
Why would people keep the music in folders instead just list the songs (or their code name) in a folder? It would be insane if I had to buy a new iPod and would have to click on each folder to add the song in it.
If your files are fully tagged, then when iTunes organises the files it will put each track in the form *iTunes Music\Album Artist\Album\## Track Name*. If you have a number of complete albums by different artists this is a logical structure, keeping tracks from the same album in a folder and albums by the same album artist together in a parent folder. If you have lots of single tracks from disparate artists & albums this might seem like a lot of folders but adding them to the library is a simple as adding the one top most folder so there is no need to click each individual folder to add songs. If, as I think you imply, the folder names consist of the random 4 character names then I take it that the bulk of your library was in WAV or another format that does not support tags. When iTunes tries to import the only information it has is the meaningless filename. Using one of the many availble iPod to PC transfer tools might enable these files to be imported back into iTunes along with some of their metadata, track name, artist, album etc.

NEW MP3 PLAYER FOR C7, please!

I find the MP3 player for the Nokia C7 to be very user-unfriendly and poorly designed.
My old 6120's mp3 player was better, including separate menus for All Tracks, Artist, Album, Genres, Composer and included the possibility to search for tracks, artists, etc.
It surprises me that a newer "smart phone" with touch screen and so many improvements in usability could have a primitive mp3 player with Artists and Albums combined and not even including search menu.
How about designing a new mp3 player as an app???
For more details see my post here:
/t5/Music/C7-mp3-player/m-p/1048555#M18052
Another recommendation is to add only a few smart button on the newer phones out on the market so that one can at least pause the music and skip to the next track without unlocking the screen and opening the player.

If you are looking for a Creative player only The Zen V and Zen V plus are good options. I think they will satisfy most of your requirements.
Strike that, I don't think this will act as an "external hard dri've" as described in bMessage Edited by fdreinthea on 2-2-200605:37 AM

Flash Drive MP3 Player

Normally use an Ipod Nano. However, now trying to figure how to load songs from iTunes on to an MP3 player that takes the form of a flash drive. It plugs directly into the USB port, and looks like an old iPod shuffle. Copied songs to the flash drive, but cannot get them to play. Is it the format? How do I modify? Thanks.

Are the songs you are copying to the MP3 player in MP3 format? In other words, do you use the default setting of iTunes for importing and so your files are mainly in AAC format and therefore you would need to convert them before you can put them on that other player.
Also, another thing to check is many cheaper/older MP3 players have a limit on the bit rate of the MP3 files they can handle. I know some will only play 128 kbps MP3s. So if you have iTunes import at 160 or 192, while they may be in MP3 format, they may be too high of a bit rate and again need to be converted.
See the specifications of that MP3 player to find out the requirements on the MP3 files it can handle.

Hi, my problem is that i transferred music off my cd's into atones, created an mp3 playlist and would now like to copy that music on to my usb..how do i do it. also would like to snapshot my desk top info

I ingested music off my cd's in to iTunes. have created an mp3 playlist with my music i iTunes. now how to copy my music on to a usb..also would like to snapshot my desktop so as to send info to my friend

In iTunes, you can Control-Click on a song and select "Show in Finder".
In theory you should also be able to select all the songs in the playlist (command-A) and drag them to the USB disk.
Screen Shots can be obtained using:
    Mac OS X Screen Shots:
        Screen Shot to a Desktop file:
            Command-Shift-3              - Capture entire screen
            Command-Shift-4              - Drag to select copy region
            Command-Shift-4-Space   - Capture Window under cursor
            If you want a menu or pop-up, then do the
                Command-Shift-4-Space
            after the menu or pop-up is setup as you like it.
        Screen Shot to Clipboard:
            Command-Control-Shift-3              - Capture entire screen
            Command-Control-Shift-4              - Drag to select copy region
            Command-Control-Shift-4-Space   - Capture Window under cursor
            If you want a menu or pop-up, then do the
                Command-Control-Shift-4-Space
            after the menu or pop-up is setup as you like it.
            Now paste the clipboard into whatever document accepts graphics.
        NOTE: Preview can be used to annotate a Screen Shot with Circles,
               Arrows, and Text to describe interesting point in the Screen
               Shot.
If this is not what you were interested in, please provided clarification information

How do I copy some music from my itunes library to a MP3 player?

I have a Sandisk clip sport MP3 player and would like to download files from my iTunes library. Do I have to use the sync? If so, how do I enable sync on my Mac?

Drag the songs from the iTunes library or iTunes Music folder to the device in the Finder. If it doesn't show up there or that doesn't work, check the device's documentation.

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
Thanks

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help
