ITunes + Non-Apple MP3 player?

Is there any way to sync a non-apple MP3 player with iTunes?

I use a freeware app called SyncTunes with my Walkman mobile phone. The app works with any MP3 player that mounts as a USB drive - and works extremely well at that, IMO.
Which makes me believe that Apple should work on opening up iTunes to non-iPod USB-based MP3 players. More and more devices - from SanDisk, from mobile phone manufacturers, and now in portable GPS units like the Garmin Nuvi 360 - incorporate this capability. (Personally, this means the iPod's days are numbered...)

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?

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

Itunes onto non apple mp player

I want to download from itunes onto a non-apple mp player. I have windows 7 64-bit with itunes installed, but I don't fancy the apple price range for players. I want something for about £80 and £50 for a speaker dock. I've been told I must use an apple ipod. Is this correct?iii

I want to download from itunes onto a non-apple mp player.
Why would you want to do that? It would be much easier to purchase your songs in MP3 format from Amazon.com MP3 or other stores.
MP3s are compatible with all MP3 players as well as with iTunes /iPod/iPhone. No conversion required.
To sync songs to your MP3 player, follow the instructions that came with the player. As tt2 notes, the iTunes program is designed to only sync Apple devices.

NOn ipod MP3 player with windows

How do I get my iTunes downloads to my non-ipod MP3 player. I tried setting the download to the player drive but that doesn't work. Since files are downloaded with an .m4p extension I can't use that file. I'm sure the files are set up so they can't be copied but I should be able to download directly to the mp3 player.

The purchased downloads are in protected AAC format, that is ALL the store sells. The downloads can't be directly changed to mp3. In order to change to mp3, you will have to burn your purchase to an audio CD, use the audio CD to re-import into iTunes as mp3. Welcome to discussions!

Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player? I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash. I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.ogg" />

</audio>

Using a non-iPod MP3 player with iTunes??

i have some other brand MP3 player (not iPod). how do i make it show up in my iTunes so i can drag and drop songs into this MP3 player? or can i not? it just shows up like a hard drive on my desktop now.thanks.

Sorry, but you probably can't. Other than an iPod, iTunes has only ever supported a handful of other players, and I believe all of them have been discontinued. So unless your player's manufacturer offers an iTunes plugin, you'll probably have to use your player's software (or whatever method it uses to load tracks).

Can I transfer my itunes to a MP3 player? newbie, help please

Hi, I need your help. I have a HP Media Center PC with all bells and whistles. I just learned about itunes. I downloaded a free song. I have also gotten 5 songs for free from a website called Connect (run by Sony).
what I was expecting to do was to go to Radio shack and purchase an MP3 player for $59.99. It's about all I can afford.
then I found out that the songs I downloaded from Connect cannot be transferred to an mp3 player unless it is a Sony MP3 player. The mp3 player in Radio Shack was not a Sony. but I did ask the salesman if I could do itunes with this and he said "sure". but I'm not sure now. I have read about all kinds of formats with downloading these songs. such as OPENMG format and something called ATRAC. See where I'm getting confused?
What I need to know is this: If I purchase songs from itunes and it goes on my hard drive, can I then purchase the mp3 player and transfer the songs so I can go for a walk and play my mp3 player. I can't afford an ipod.
Do I have to buy a special mp3 player to be able to use itunes. I can't find any information on this on the site.
I am a disabled person and could use some help.
thanks to anybody who can help me. Just need to know exactly what I should be buying to play songs on and do I have to download the songs in a special way or does itunes just do it for me. Also, I don't have an apple computer. but I have an APPLE user ID. Very confusing.

Okay, let me see if I have this right.
I have a HP Pavillion Media Center. this should allow me to burn cds, right? I have never done this in my life but believe me I learn fast. I have two drives that I'm looking at right now on my tower.
The top drive says LightScribe DVD+-/CD Writer
The other drive says CD rom.
I presume, to burn a cd (or whatever it's called), I use the top Lightscribe thing, right?
so I guess I have to get a blank cd rewritable thing, place it in the top drive and copy the sonic stage (sony) songs onto that right? then I can get the ipod and transfer from the newly burned cd into the ipod, right?
I have absolutely no idea how to accomplish this but I'm willing to at least do the first step and burn the cd.
Now, here's my question. Many years ago, when I had my other HP pavillion,it came with a re-writable drive. I tried to burn something to it and I did not know what I was doing. I do remember that the cd was some kind of RW thing.
I probably have one of those in my house. They are over 5 years old. Is this what I have to use to put the songs on it.
do I have to go to the computer store and buy a new blank cd-rw (if that is indeed what I will be using).
I want to know exactly what kind of blank cd thing I have to put in the drive. And do I use the one marked Lightscribe.
See, once I know what to do, I'll figure out how to do it.
I'm going to search my room to find one of the old blank ones but I won't use it until you say, "yes, use it.".
I know I used to have a case of them. Never used them but they are still around.
Are they still compatible with my windows xp, HP Pavillion media center.
And I should tell you what I tried to do last night. I was researching all about converting files and I saw something that said "drag the files into your itunes folder and you should have the songs in their". so stupid me, I go to my start menu, open up the explore thing, I find the "sonic stage" thing, I see the itunes thing, I dragged and sonic stage into the itunes thing and sure enough, right in front of me a little message popped up showing me it was "copying files to itunes". So I said "holy sh*t, I actually did it", "i'm going to see my songs in my itunes folder". Well, that didn't happen. I opened up my itunes library and only my original itunes song was there. No songs from the sonic stage library was put in.
I have no idea what was copied into what. So what exactly did I do?
thanks for any help about the cd burning thing.
I mean, I have this HP Pavillion Media Center and I want to be able to figure out how to use it before I turn 80.
Thanks much.

Responding to answer on moving an iTune to my MP3 player

How do I respond to the answer I received from roaminggnome? My question was regarding moving an iTune to my Sanza MP3 player. He said that the iTunes program only syncs with Apple devices. Article HT2698 from Apple said that you can convert iTunes Plus music purchases to MP3 format which I did using the instructions in the article but it won't drag.. He also said to see the MP3 directions with my player to learn how to put music on it. I have been putting music on it for quite some time but had never tried iTunes. I just received a free iTunes gift card with an OfficeMax purchase. Thanks-Merv

ITouch Seen by iTunes as a MP3 Player but seen by Windows 7 x64 as Camera

when I connect my iTouch to both my Laptop and Desktop iTunes Pops up as saying its a MP3 Player does a back up of my Apps. When i go to take music off of it thru My Computer it is shown as a Digital Camera.

I'm guessing that the OP has the problem described by many other posters in this thread; http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&start=0&tstart=0
I have this problem too. I've tried removing all Apple apps and updating to latest versions, but that didn't help. I've tried updating the device driver (as suggested by Yorkwill), but it didn't find a new driver in the folder where the usbaapl.sys is located. The current drivers on the Apple Ipod digital camera device are wpbusb.sys and WUDFRd.sys.
Any other suggestings for fixing this very annoying problem would be most welcome.

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?

Downloading iTunes to a mp3 player on a phone...

I have recently been upgraded to the LG Prada phone, and I was wondering if it's possible to download your iTunes to play on the mp3 player, and if so, how you do it? I've established the bluetooth connection between the two, but am completely oblivious on how to do the next bit! Help would be really appreciated!

Standard iTunes Store downloads with DRM (Digital Right Management) copy protection are only compatible with the iPod/iPhone range, you can't transfer or convert them to play on any other devices.

How can I put music from Itunes on my MP3 player?

The format that downloads from Itunes is not working when I try to add music to my MP3 Player instead of my Ipod. Is there a way to add music to an MP3 Player?
I am assuming the format that downloads to ITunes isn't compatable. Any way to change this? Thanks!!!

I have this question as well, I would like to transfer my music from itunes to an SD card so I can listen to it in my new car. Can anyone help?

Can i sync itunes with an mp3 player

can and how do i sync itues with my mp3 player (coby)

You don't.
You would need to read the directions that came with the player to learn how to put music on it.

Using iTunes on different mp3 player

I have a Dell DJ, which I like, and which uses mp3 format. I want to use the iTunes store for downloads, but can't figure out how to download as or convert them into mp3. If there's no way to do it, I can't use iTunes. Any advice?
Thanks

Since you are allowed to burn these tracks from the iTunes store to an audio cd, why not do that?
That audio CD can be used in the same way that you use any other purchased CD.
