ITunes - mp3 player for kids - iPod

I have iTunes for my mac and my own iPod. I want to get my kids an inexpensive mp3 player (non-apple) for Xmas. Does this work? Can I load their players with their songs from my library?

Yes, but it won't be as easy as synching with an i-device. I have a Sansa player as well as a RCA MP3 player. With both devices you can simply copy mp3 files to them. As long as the mp3s are tagged correctly you can arrange by artist, album etc amnd play that way. If you want playlists things get a bit tricky. Neither player has software that supports OSX so playlists on the Sansa either have to be created by hand or using a third party script.
If your computer can run Windows you can use the software that way, otherwise there is a moderate degree of inconvenience, especially if playlists are important.

Non-ipod mp3 player for Mac?

Hey everyone,
I was just seeing if any of you guys had suggestions about getting a mp3 player for my Mac. I'm looking to get one about 4GB or so, and was wondering what ones are compliant for Mac?
Thanks in advance!

The iPod nano comes to mind. I doubt many if any others will mount unless they just mount as a USB 2.0 drive and you can drag files to them independent of a program to do that. Read the O/S required specs before you buy, but I bet they are all around the same price point, the nano works with mac/iTunes, why bother?

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?

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Not using itunes.
You can use the music on other music players that support the format that itunes uses.
Consult the manual for instructions on how to put music on the player.

carlitos3373,
You need to use iTunes to transfer music to your iPod. You can download the latest version here:

Music Player for kids

I hope this is the right forum for this …
I'm looking for an EASY music player for kids that plays music from your iTunes-library.
Maybe pictures for each song or album.
I know this exists for iPad (Sound Slate), but I'm looking for a MacBook-solution.
Thanks in advance!

Does Creative have trade in promotions on old creative mp3 player for newer mode

Hi,??Just check with you, any brothers here know if there are any shops or promotions that take trade in trade in of old mp3 player for new ones??Wan to trade in my zen micro to get zen V plus...Pls help to advise. Thks in advance

"Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable "
When using a player that takes a AAA battery, just use a rechargeable AAA.
"Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES!"
Yes, however they aren't practical for many people since they aren't compatible with Yahoo's unlimited music service. Many people would rather get a Zen Micro or Sleek and pay $60 a year to Yahoo to fill up their player with music rather than pay over $,000 to Apple to fill up their 4 gig player with music at 99 cents a song. With the Yahoo service, one can also change the music in their player without additional cost.
"Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable."
With Creative's Nano and Nano Plus, one can use a rechargeable AAA battery. Rechargeable AAA batteries are great since most chargers can charge 4 at a time. Four nimh AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger can often be purchased for under $20.
With the ipod Nano, once the charge in the built in battery runs out, one can't listen to it until it is recharged. With the Creative Nano Plus, one just switches to another battery(remember I just mentioned how AAA nimh batteries can be conveniently charged 4 at a time?). Taking an ipod Nano on a long trip would be annoying. While the player is small, the notebook computer one would need to carry with it to recharge the player is quite large. I would much rather carry a few extra AAA batteries than a notebook computer(I as many others don't even own a notebook computer).
"I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. ."
I would also love to have one, but only if it is compatible with Yahoo Music Unlimited, uses a AA or AAA battery, and has a built in radio. That rules out Apple's players on three counts.

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

Is there a multi-song mp3 player for Muse?

G thi need to get at least itunes 10.1 for my ipod but it keeps saying that my mac doesnt have the new software for it, what do i do?

i need to get at least itunes 10.1 for my ipod but it keeps saying that my mac doesnt have the software for it what do i do?

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.5 or newer to get iTunes 10. This OS version won't run on a G3.
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 are available on DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 requires an Intel Mac.

Got a SONY mp3 player for Christmas: How do I sync with iTunes?

OK, here's the deal. I have a MacBook Pro and use iTunes regularly, but now I have a SONY mp3 player from Santa. How do I get my songs from iTunes onto my SONY? Someone help. Thanks!

I have tried this with a SanDisk mp3 player, so I am not sure if it would work with a Sony - don't see why not..
Open your iTunes, build a playlist of songs you want to put in the Walkman.
Connect the Walkman and when the icon mounts on the desktop, open the Finder window to it - if it has a .mp3 folder inside, ('cos the sony devices have multiple folders in some instances), open that. Drag and drop the playlist of songs - (the list not the sidebar icon for it) into the .mp3 folder, and it should copy the files right in. iTunes itself will not likely 'see' the Walkman, but the Finder does, and will treat it like a new storage volume - which it is. You just build the iTunes playlists to tell the Finder what to copy.

Non-iTunes mp3 player...

Yeah. Recently my iPod was stolen, and I had no intentions of paying the price for a brand new one (100$+ out of my current limit...)
So I bought a different brand of mp3 player.
Now here's the problem.
I can't put my iTunes songs on it because they're protected.
Is there any possibility of removing the DRM? Would, say, putting my library on a blank CD, and uploading it again, possibly convert it to unprotected?
Please help, I REALLY don't want to pay $.30 for each song for iTunes plus...

Can't discuss removing DRM in these forums.

Can you use a mp3 player other then Ipod to download music

I have an Iriver mp3 player and tried to download music to it. I have Limewire pro , i even tried added the start up disk that came with it and the computer does not even acknowledge it all. I use my usb and with a pc it would automatically go to my music file but not on my mac. I have the new leopard program and still no. Do they only want you to use Ipods??? If so that is not even fair. You have to buy each and every song from itunes. Mind you I did pay for the Limewire Pro. Help is there a way or do I have to buy an Ipod

Your system should at least acknowledge any input. Make sure the box in Finder's preferences and iTunes preferences are checked. You should have a icon in the upper right corner telling you of a external devise located. One of these two boxes must not be checked. As far as loading music (downloading music) to it, I doubt it. It may be, I never tried. When I plug in my iPod, it shows, iTunes opens and it syncs. Than I get a message telling me it is OK to remove. The MP3 player, hooked up through the USB port should be displayed. Everything hooked up via USB displays. I wou gues it is a setting within iTunes preferences.

Moving music from another mp3 player to an ipod?

Ok, I have a Creative Zen Touch MP3 player and have most of my music on it. I just recently bought an ipod as well and most of the music that is one the creative zen touch is not on my computer anymore so it was not synced to the ipod when i got itunes. Is there any way I can move the music that is the creative zen touch over to the ipod?

I don't know anything about Creative players, but I can make some general suggestions.
Do you have a way to transfer the music from the Creative Zen to your hard drive? If so, that would be the first step. What format is it in? mp3 is good. iTunes will convert unprotected wma so that works, too. Protected wma isn't going to work.
Then, if the files are something that iTunes can work with, just import the music into your iTunes library (File>Add to library).
Or, I missing some really big issue.
