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.

- 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. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full. I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic.
Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

Help exporting all songs to mp3 player

Does the MP3 player hook up to your Mac? And if does it show up on the desk top as a drive to add stuff into?

Songs in MP3-Player wont play

Hi everybody, my kids downloaded several songs from the ITMS. They dont play in their (non-apple) MP3-Players. Did we waste our money or is there a way to make them play?
Thanks for answers!

No your in the clear, once you buy your music you own it. You can do whatever you want with it exept authorize more than 5 computers to share it.
That's not completely correct. First, you don't own music (even on CD), you own certain rights to use it, depending on the terms of the license. Second, you can't "do whatever you want with it": both the Terms of Sale of the iTunes Music Store and the copyrights on the tracks have limitations. Basically you can use the tracks for personal use, but are forbidden from using them commercially in any way, giving them away or selling them, or trying to break the copy protection.
Just to be clear.
Regards.

New MP3 player how do I upload songs to new MP3?

transfer Itunes songs to MP3 player?

Locate them in the Finder or the Windows Explorer and check the player's documentation for instructions on transferring them. They may need to be converted to MP3 first.

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.

How do I copy songs from my cd to my mp3 player

I have copied songs from my cd to my mp3 player but they wont play. Can you help?

Hi,
Have you converted the CD Audio files to mp3 format? If not, you can use Windows Media Player to do this as described in the guide on the following link.

How can I export songs from my ITunes library to a different MP3 player?

I need to copy some songs (or a playlist) from my ITunes library to a non-IPod MP3 player.
Thanks,

Creative MP3 player plays songs alphabetically instead of in track order

I use a Creative Nomad Zen 20GB USB 2.0 MP3 player with iTunes 7. Lately, songs listed in the correct track order on a given album in iTunes show up listed and get played in alphabetical order when copied to the Zen.
Any way in iTunes around this? I've been using XNJB, but it seems like it should be do-able in iTunes - especially since I wasn't having this problem in previous versions.
I've searched the forum but seem to have missed what is probably a common issue. Please point me to the right thread if this is the case.
Thanks, R.

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 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.

Down loading itunes songs purchases on a generic mp3 player

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."

Can't put my song in my MP3 player

I bought a song and realized the file (because of the DRM) cannot be playable unless I use I-tunes to load it. Yet, I don't see a way to get I-tunes to load my MP3 player. How do I do this?
BTW, my MP3 player acts like an removable drive.
I am sure the solution is something simple I am missing.
Please help.
Thank you.

Thank you both for your help. I was hoping Itunes was more like Musicmatch or WMP when it comes to recognizing my player and offering to write or "sync" directly to several MP3 players from my CDs, HD, or from their online store. I know I can copy other files by going to the Itunes folders, but the DRM (or purchased) files I cannot.
However, I am glad to see there is a workaround. Although, it is a lot of trouble for one song.
Thanks again.

How can I listen to songs I purchased on Itunes with my generic Mp3 player?

I was given $50 Itunes credit for Christmas and promptly bought an album from itunes. I actually could have bought the album as a real CD at the local store but thought I'd use my itunes voucher instead.
Now I find that I can not just copy and paste the songs or convert the songs into mp3 format so that I can play the songs in my portable mp3 player.
I don't want to buy an ipod as am very happy with the player I have.
So the albun is stuck on my laptop.
Any advice or solution would be appreciated please.

I'm curious...If it's a record company restriction, then why is it that Amazon can sell them in unrestricted MP3 format, as you say.
It is up to each retailer to reach agreements with their suppliers. Different agreements may be reached.
I haven't checked out Amazon yet so maybe they have different music for sale, not from the major record companies?
The amazon.com MP3 Download Store carries all 4 major labels. (The fourth, Sony, was added in January 2008.) However, it is not available in Australia.
