  • ITunes w/ other MP3 players

    I just purchased an iPod touch. My children have cheap MP3 players. I do not want to manage multiple music libraries and playlists. Is there any way to use iTunes to sync other non Apple MP3 players?

    iTunes does not natively support players other than an iPod. But you may be able to get direct support by using iTunes Agent. Give it a try; it may work for you. Note that the tracks in iTunes must be in a format the kids' players can handle; if they're not now in an appropriate format, you'll need to have iTunes make new versions of the tracks in the format the player needs.
    You can also just use the procedure provided by the player, getting the tracks directly out of the iTunes Music folder.
    Regards.

  • Itunes and other mp3 plyers

    i got a creative zen for ny birthday and was asking for a ipod but oh well. i have a lot of music on my itunes. and for the life of my i cant figure out how to get my music in itunes over to my mp3 help me please someone

    Ok first off there is not going to be a good way sync a non apple mp3 palyer to iTunes. Here are your options
    - If the music you have was purchased though the iTunes music store then no other MP3 player will be able to play them. You will have to burn it to a CD and then import the files as MP3 files. Then you should be able to point your MP3 player software to where ever iTuens is saving your music lib. Be sure you only copy over the MP3 files and not the m4p, m4b, or m4a files. They will only play on iPods and though iTunes.
    - If you music is all MP3 files you RIPPED from CDs then you should be able to just point your MP3 palyer software to where ever iTuens is saving your music files and sync it.
    Either way if you copy new music file from your music player to your PC you will need to re-add the folder they were added from to iTunes or iTuens will not see them.

  • ITunes with other MP3 Players

    I am SICK and tired of my iPod not working correctly... I want to buy another MP3 player... can I use the iTunes songs (that I already paid a ridiculous amount of money on) with systems other than apple?

    Purchases from the store are in protected AAC format which will not be compatible with anything but an iPod. If you change your purchase to mp3 format, you will have to burn to an audio CD, use the audio CD to re-import as mp3.
    I nearly forgot this link from Scott P. & Hudgie which will explain iTunes compatibility with non-iPod devices. Unfortunately, the short answer is that they won't work.

  • ITunes and generic MP3 players?

    Is there a utility that can take an exported iTunes playlist (XML) and copy all the files referenced therein to a folder on my computer (or direct to my generic MP3 player)?
    All my tracks are MP3 so I have no DRM / m4p issues.
    iTunes can burn a data CD / DVD that can then be copied manually, but that's really quite time consuming when the ultimate destination is a flash drive.

    Don't bother with the XML file. Open the playlist in iTunes, Edit > Select All, and drag them to the folder where you want the copies to be.

  • Itunes and Creative MP3 players

    If I am using and ipod and itunes on my computer, Can I also transfer tracks to a creative brand mp3 player? If I download ITunes on another computer, would it be compatialbe with Creative Zen extra player

    +thanks,is there a way to limit song searches to DRM free songs?+
    Yes. The easiest way would be to do your online shopping at stores that *only sell DRM-free songs!* That includes amazon.com and audiolunchbox.com. The sell in MP3 format, which is fully compatible with both an iPod and a Creative. And no DRM in sight.
    There are other stores that sell a mix of DRM and DRM-free songs, and if you shop at one of them you will need to be very attentive. That includes the iTunes Music Store, walmart.com, and the Zune Marketplace. For example, in the iTunes Music Store you would watch for the Plus sign which indicates DRM-free.

  • Itunes and other mp3players

    as i understand it i cannot use iTunes with other mp3 players than Ipod. Is that correct?
    My son har got an mp3 player thats not an Ipod, and in my iTunes library i have several albums that are copied from our cd's - i understand that music i have bougt digitaly cant be copied to other mp3 players, but this is music from cds i have in the shelf at home already. Seems idiotic that i have to copy all my child music once more, but this time with Media Player to get them on my sons mp3 player..
    Anybody know if this is right?

    I'm guessing that you might be ripping those CDs using the aac format. What will have to happen is you rerip those CDs in mp3 format and then your son can use them. However only ipods can interface with itunes.
    To check your preferences, Edit > Preferences. Click on the advanced tab and then you should see a import tab.

  • Using other MP3 players with ITunes

    Can anyone give me some guidance? My little girl wants an ipod after having great fun listening to my ipod shuffle. All my music is now stored on iTunes so the question is; does itunes support any other MP3 players or will it only support ipods - I was going to buy her a cheap £15 player.
    Any help would be gratefully recieved.

    JoJo70,
    To elaborate slightly on what polydorus said, cheap mp3 players play mp3 format files only, full stop. The one I have used (in the same price range you are talking about) connects to the PC via USB, and opens in Windows as a folder. You can then copy/paste files into it, or delete files that are already in it. It truly does not care if iTunes is present or not.
    To your comment that "All my music is now stored on iTunes": not really. Your music is stored on your hard drive, and iTunes only contains a library that points to it. There is no reason you can't use the same song files for some non-iTunes purpose, and that is what you will be doing with your daughter's player.
    Sooner or later however, she will want an iPod.

  • SHARING SONGS WITH OTHER MP3 PLAYERS

    Does anyone know if there is a way to share songs with other MP3 players, such as the Dell DJ?
    That is wat I used to have before i got my iPod and i would like to get the 2500 songs off of that and onto my new iPod.
    Thanks for the help.

    Does the Dell come with any software to move songs to a PC? If you can do that, you can add any MP3s from it into the iTunes Library. Google for software for the Dell or try the Dell forums to see if anyone there has an answer.

  • Is this earpods match with other mp3 players?

    Is this earpod match with other mp3 players and produce its effects?

    It uses the industry standard 3.5 mm plug, so it should work with all other MP3 players or electronics that make use of the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
    However, the remote and Mic probably wont' work with them though.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.

  • HT203163 I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; as secure link to itunes store failed. I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works.....

    I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; it displays the message under diagnostics 'secure link to itunes store failed'.
    I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works......
    Please help.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?
