How to play music transfered manually by windows explorer

Hi there,
my iPod Shuffle is recognized and I can easily transfer files (mp3). However, they are not played but only the two songs I transfered with iTunes. Is there a possibility?

Unless your using something like Anapod Explorer to drag and drop files, your Shuffle will not recognise them.
Add your songs to iTunes inorder to sync them.
The iPod has a specific file structure for organising files. Just placing them on will not work.
Lastly iTunes auto converts songs from a higher bit-rate to 128. This is because the Shuffle will not play higher bit-rate files in-order to fit more songs on such a small capacity. If you are adding files that are above 128 bit-rate you will definitely not be able to play them (even with MediaFour's X play or Anapod Explorer)

How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

Mains lead for the computer is a bit of a problem on the bus though!

The message ~There was a problem connecting to the server "your-447023ae6b".appears when I try to play music transferred from my PC to my iMac. Files were transferred from my PC by a Genius. How do I sort it? Next appointment with genius is 5 days away!

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.

How to play music through my external hard drive through iTunes on my mac?

I recently purchased a external hard drive for my mac for my movies and music, as my disc was almost full.
I have spent HOURS searching how to play music through my itunes without transferring them onto the mac.
BUT everytime I click media destination folder in prefrences and advance, the whole music library in my external hard drive folder is greyed out, and when i click it nothing happens.
PLEASE someone help...

First, a brand new drive is likely formatted for use with Windows. You need to reformat it for use with Mac.
Pondini: Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
Second, you are better off moving the whole iTunes library to the external drive, not just the media.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

New update how to play music on apple tv

I just updated my iPhone 4 and now can't figure out how to play music or videos on my apple tv

iPhone 4 can AirPlay audio just fine, I'd forgotten that it can't do screen mirroring. It's been so long since I had my iPhone 4 but I'm certain that some apps will allow video output over AirPlay (which is not the same as screen mirroring). The stock iOS Photo and Video apps could stream pictures and video to ATV, but true mirroring of everything you see on the screen is not supported on iPhone 4. It isn't iOS 7 that took away this capability, it is a capability that has always been limited with iPhone 4 (and earlier).
If you are sure that your old 3G can output video over AirPlay, which specific apps? Those same apps should work on the iPhone 4, even with iOS 7.

How To play Music File's From computer 2 FireFox By using the New "Audio API", Audio Visualizaion 2D And 3D

i like all the Feature's of the New API.

and when the beta gonna come out on mac?

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

How to play music simultaneously both on my computer and the remote speaker

I have an existing wi-fi station and one Airport Express, but I can not play music simultaneous both on my computer and the remote speaker. I just can select only one speaker.
My iTunes is the latest Windows version 6.03.5, but I can not see the option of "multiple speakers" on the bottom-right menu. What is the problem? How can I do if I want to play music simultaneously both on my computer and the remote speaker?
Thank you!

On that note, long story short, it was very helpful for me to download the latest firmware. Here's a link for the Windows download. Try this first, if you haven't already. One of the fixes "-Resolves issue with Audio dropout when playing to AirPort Express with AirTunes". Not exactly your issue, but worth a try.

I just purchased my AirPort Express, too bad they don't recommend updating firmware in BIG BOLD LETTERS, and who would think to do so if the equipment is brand new...anyways, good luck.

How to play music from my present CD library?

I have an extensive collection of fine music on CDs and DVD. How do I play music on my iMac 27" with Mavericks without having to buy more unneeded discs from iTunes? Find nothing in Apple "help" not my book on Mavericks. Apple doesn't have as much interest in selling fine computing equipment as it does selling goods from the iTunes store.

Not true, personally I have never purchased any music from the iTunes Store and have over a 160GB of music from my CD collection in iTunes.

You can easily Import your CD collection into iTunes.
If you have a newer iMac that does not have a built-in Superdrive, you can use most any USB External Optical DVD Drive to Import your CDs into iTunes.
You may even be able to use your PCs drive, see > DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc
Or move the music from your PC, see > Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac

How to play music from NAS to iTunes on MAC and PC (Win7)?

I have NAS in my home network and would like to play music stored on NAS to play in iTunes on MAC; iPad2, iPhone4 and PC which has Windows 7.
I have already changed iTunes Media folder location under 'Advanced' pointing to NAS music folder. Once all this done, I see exclamation i in front of the every song in iTunes.
Can some one please help me. I went to Apple store and ask this question, but no one seems to able to help me.
Thanks
-nlalani

Just seeing this as I was browsing for a way to stream music from my NAS drive to an airplay capable receiver. I've been using the "filebrowser" app on my iPad and iPhone 4 and am very happy with it. It allows me to access my NAS drive from both devices and stream music and video to said devices. For example: I dock my phone in the kitchen and use filebrowser to play music directly from the NAS...it works great. I also use it to stream bike training videos to my iPad while I'm riding on a trainer in my basement. The native controls are very user friendly for both mp3's and video mp4's. I'm not huge on apple programs(iTunes for music playback) as they are usually restrictive and don't play nicely with other non apple devices...for $3, filebrowser should do the trick for you....now I have to figure out how to stream from the NAS to a pioneer brand airplay capable receiver without using iTunes.

Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

Hi and thanks for sharing. Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer. I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background. I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too. That and sound files downloaded from the internet. Do these go to iCloud when you download them? Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway. (It's the only computer or device I own). Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net. Thanks for your intel on the mission. Cheers!

The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

How to play music in car from Iphone 5s

How to play music cd in Rhythmbox? (or anything else)

The situation is this: I can play music in Ryhthmbox that is on my hard disk (copied over from other distro) and am listening to jazz as I write this), but I can not put a CD into my dvd drive and play a music CD. I would like to rip it to disk using Rhythmbox as I have done in the past but it seems impossible in Arch. I am using Xfce4.
If I insert a music CD just now, Totem starts up and then tells me that there is no media in drive for device '/dev/sr0'. Well, how did it know I inserted a CD in the drive for crying out loud?
Any ideas out there?

Start Rhythmbox and double-click the audio CD item in the Devices list???
