ITUNES IS THE WORST PLAYER OUT THERE

Im a long time ipod user but i recently got a new mp3 player that has better functions and features than the apple ipod nano.The packaging said that this player was compatible with itunes. so i just thought i would converter allthe music i bought to mp3 but noooooo! all these protected files wont convert. im come on i bought the song legally through itunes i sould be able to do whatever i want to it. i hope some moderator show this to a higher up. besides i still buy music from itunes, but it should be a more compatible format, such as mp3.

Since we are simply fellow users like you, it will do no good to go on a tirade. This is a user to user forum only in which Apple employees seldom participate.
There are now a number of non-iPod players on the market which support AAC format. Your specific problem is that you have purchased protected AAC format files which are only compatible with an iPod, this is nothing new when it comes to purchasing from the iTunes store. Also, the protection is required by the majority of the major record companies, not Apple. What you can do with your protected purchases is burn them to an audio CD. In the future, since you do not have an iPod & seem to prefer mp3 format files, I would suggest you take a look at amazon.com, emusic.com, & audiolunchbox.com, just to name a few. All 3 of these sites sell DRM-free, mp3 format files.

  • 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

  • I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

    I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
    It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

    Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working.  Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside?  Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

  • Thank you for approving my feed iTunes . The only problem is, there is no art work, even though artwork was submitted correct sizes and formats were used. Why is this and how can the problem be rectified?

    Thanks for getting back. Hadn't got round to re uploading the amended feed. I just did it now.
    The only thing is, Feed Validator doesn't like it because of the picture size, and a couple of other things, it reeds the following:

    Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • What are the frameworks available out there

    I just want to know what are the frameworks available out there for Desktop application ?

    I want to create a standalone application in Java and I heard that I can make it easier if I follow a framework.
    After having a look at frameworks for Java, it just completely confuse me, as it is very different from frameworks for Flash (which I do most).
    The java framework covers much more stuff than what Flash framework covers (which mainly regulate the way how the SWF communicate with the server and the design of the classes )
    I still wonder what is the definition of framework in Java ? Do I really need one for a standalone application, or I just need to follow the MVC design for my classes ?
    I just need to get it right before I actually work on my program.
    Thanks.

  • I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update. But it doesn't tell what program.

    I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update, but it doesn't list what program is missing. I have never had issues in the past updating a new iTunes.

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support perssonel or package vendor."
    That's perfect, thanks.

  • Whats the slowest MAC out there that can run Creative Cloud?

    I was wondering what the slowest MAC out there is that can run Creative Cloud?

    On the new install with a default Logic Project, kernal_task (activity monitor) shows 600% CPU usage when ideling (no audio or midi playing.
    Logic using 600% or total CPU at 600%?
    If it's total CPU usage and not Logic itself.. check for a runaway mdworker routine... caused by a spotlight bug thats been longstanding and never totally fixed... Resolve by stopping the MDworker routine and then exclude all drives from spotlight.. and add back in just the system drive. Wait a couple of hours for spotlight to properly reindex the system drive and then test with Logic to see if CPU usage drops down to normal levels...
    If it's Logic that is using 600% then something very weird is going on that is specific to your system or install as that simply isn't normal behaviour even with using just the internal hardware and CoreAudio.

  • I am a serious dumbbell when it comes to the new phones out there and I want to upgrade...

    My current phone is 6+ years old.  The most technical thing I have done on it was to download a ringtone.  Yep... seriously.
    Now I need a phone that I can surf the internet.  I still do not need texting although I am told by relatives that it is the only way to stay in touch CHEAP!!  OK so maybe I could use that feature also.
    I need the phone to be able to upload programs for the medical field and take great photos.
    Sounds simple enough.  I was told to go to the 4g network by another friend as I travel extensively in the US... OK that sounds like an expensive option?  Don't know for sure but I am sure someone out there can help a technical deficient gal.
    Any ideas on phones I should look at?  It will sit in my pocket for +12hrs a day.  I went to a Verizon authorized rep store and they were selling me the sun and moon with gobbly gook terminology that scared me away!

    After checking into the options you are looking for in your new mobile device, here are a couple of links to phone recommendations. This will narrow your options so when and if you go to the corporate representative, you will have an idea of what you are looking for.

  • Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

    The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

    You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
    You could do the following:
    - get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
    - if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.
