Loading tunes to car mp3 player

Hi! I'm new to this forum and iTunes as well. I also have Dell Musicmatch Jukebox that I use to connect and load tunes to my car Sony DVD/mp3 player that connects with a cable/terminal like my Canon 20d camera uses. I get no response when trying to load tunes from iTunes. Do I need a special patch, plug-in or driver? I want to keep Musicmatch as well if possible. Can you advise me in simple terms? Thanks

The tunes are from cd's and are already in a playlist. I have no problems using my ipod shuffle, but I need to use my Corvette's Sony mp3 player if I can find a way to connect. Ipod connects via usb, of course, as you know, and this Sony player "faceplate" does too but must use a different "driver". Are Apple products the only mp3 players that are allowed to connect and download?

Problems loading songs into flash mp3 player

I am very new to actionscript, and I am still trying to learn some of the basics, but I'm getting there, understanding it better with help from great forums like this one.
I have a music community website, visitors can sign up, upload mp3 files, their files get uploaded into their own folder named '$id' in the php code, (if they are the 10th member to sign up, their folder would be named 10, and so on)
I have a prebuilt flash player that I want to playback the mp3 files just for that member when their profile is being viewed, I have some code in the mp3 upload script that automatically writes an xml file to their folder containing their song data, with Andrei1's help, I got that part working using flashvars, now the problem I am having is that I can't get the songs to play back, the data is there but no music.
as I said I am using a prebuilt flash player that is using a static call to a directory, so should I use flashvars again to load the mp3 files into the player? and I also need help figuring out what to change in the actionscript.
here is the object embed src for the html:
<param name="movie" value="flplayer1a.swf">
                    <embed src="flplayer1a.swf" FlashVars="xml=<?php echo "members/$id/playlist.xml" ?>"></embed>
                    <param name="FlashVars" value="xml=<?php echo "members/$id/playlist.xml" ?>">
and here is the actionscript code for the playback on frame 1
stop();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
var trackToPlay:String;
var pausePosition:int = 0;
var songURL:URLRequest;
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var i:uint;
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = loaderInfo.parameters.xml;
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
    var firstSong:String = myXML..Song.songTitle[0];
   var firstArtist:String = myXML..Song.songArtist[0];
songURL = new URLRequest("????" + firstSong + ".mp3");
   status_txt.text = "1. "+firstSong +" - "+firstArtist;
     for each (var Song:XML in myXML..Song) {
i++;
var songTitle:String = Song.songTitle.toString();
var songArtist:String = Song.songArtist.toString();
list.addItem( { label: i+". "+songTitle+" - "+songArtist, songString: songTitle, Artist: songArtist, songNum: i } )
var myArray = new Array (0,0);
         list.selectedIndices = myArray; // This highlights song 1 by default
gotoAndStop(3);
this is on frame 2 for the song switching
songURL = new URLRequest("?????" + trackToPlay + ".mp3");
and this on frame 3:
stop();
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
var channel:SoundChannel;
var context:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(5000, true);
snd.load(songURL, context);
channel = snd.play(pausePosition);
I'm starting to build my own flash player based on what I have learned here, I just have to figure this part out and I'm good to go.

songURL = new URLRequest("?????" + trackToPlay + ".mp3"); and
songURL = new URLRequest("????" + firstSong + ".mp3");
this is where the movie looks for mp3 files, when I downloaded this prebuilt player, the line looked like this
songURL = new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/mp3_files" + firstSong + ".mp3");
songURL = new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/mp3_files" + trackToPlay + ".mp3");
this is the part I am trying to figure out how to change, if I were to have all the members mp3 files go into the mp3_files folder, the player works fine, no problems at all, but I don't want all the members mp3s in one folder, they need to be in each members folder(which I have it set up to do) and I can't figure out how to change the "http://www.mydomain.com/mp3_files" to http://www.mydomain.com/members/$id, that's why I was asking if we add another value in the flash vars, again my inexperience with 2 way communication between as3 and php variables is what's choking me
the list component is a movie clip
"You did not answer the question about whether scripts are spread through several frames"
the first frame has all the code for variables, xml loading, inserting data, the second frame has code for song switching, the third frams has the sound variables, button functions, scrubber and volume, animated meters, etc., I hope i answered it this time, being a newbie, I am trying to answer the best I can.

MP3 player with AM and FM tun

It is so annoying not having an AM tuner on my MP3 player. It means that I need to carry a separate radio when I want to listen to AM. It would be nice if Creative came out with a flash memory based MP3 player series that has an AM and FM tuner, uses a AA battery, has a larger display than on the N200, and comes in capacities of 52 meg, one gig, and two gig(with larger capacities to be released later as flash memory prices drop).

The mass market listens to both AM and FM. Sports enthusiasts listen to sports on AM. Others listen to news or talk radio on AM. I am not a sports enthsiast, however I do like listening to news and talk radio on AM. If the FM spectrum was larger, it would be nice if these stations could move to FM, however in large cities the FM band is already crowded. FM is definitely the better technology, although cetain programming(news, talk radio, sports, etc.) isn't available on FM. I also like to sometimes listen to FM radio, as well as my favorite music from my CDs. Eventually when sattelite receivers get much smaller and the monthly fee smaller(or perhaps later there won't be a monthly fee?) then I would like a sattelite radio revei'ver that is also a flash memory MP3 player.

Convert to MP3 format/Sync to MP3 player

I have purchased songs from I-tunes for my MP3 player. I can see the songs on in the MP3 file, but can't play them...I think I need to convert the files to MP3 format, but am unsure how to do that. Also, how do you sync from I-Tunes onto my MP3 player?

Can you clarify this a bit more. I assume you are saying that you purchased tracks from the iTunes music store? Is that correct?
If so they are in AAC (MPEG-4) format. Do you know if they are protected tracks or if they are "Plus" (unprotected) tracks?
For Plus tracks, you can import them by going into your preferences in iTunes and changing the IMPORT preference to MP3 format (if you are not already using it). Then "OK" out of preferences, find the songs you need to convert, right click on them and pick "Convert to MP3". This will make a new COPY of the file in MP3 format (the original AAC formatted version will remain there untouched).
For protected tracks, you are not allowed to convert them directly to MP3 files. Instead, all you can do it add them to a playlist then burn them out to an AUDIO format CD. This converts them from AAC to a normal music CD like you would buy in the store. You can then treat the music CD like you would any other music CD including accessing it with iTunes like your store purchased music CDs.
Once you have your MP3 files, usually all you need to do is drag and drop the files from the library window onto your MP3 player mounted on your computer. If it doesn't work directly from the library window, you can always go find the MP3 files in your folder structure and drag and drop them from there to the MP3 player.
Which MP3 player do you have?
Cheers,
Patrick

ITunes MP3 discs won't play in car MP3 stereo

Hi there...
I burned some MP3 discs, in MP3 disc format, on iTunes that I play on my car MP3 stereo player, and the car MP3 player won't recognize the disc or play just one or two songs on the disc. I'm burning them on CD-Rs. Furthermore, my old MP3 discs I burned on iTunes 3 works FINE on my car stereo, it's just discs burned with the recent versions. Does iTunes convert MP3s in a different way now? Any ideas as to what I can do?
Also, mp3s I create on itunes are not recognized properly on my Motorola cell phone as mp3s... they call them "QP3"s; mp3s converted on a PC are still recognized as iTunes. Any ideas as to why that's happening? Whew, that's a lot. Hope someone can help and thanks for your time...

twangus, your problem could be (let me stress that word could) the way iTunes is burning the disc and your car CD player doesn't like it.
iTunes burns dual platform MP3 CDs: ISO 9660 (for Windows) and HFS+ Extended (for Mac OS X). It could be that your player doesn't like these discs. To test this you should burn your MP3 CD with third-party burning software that allows you to specify what format to burn the disc in. Either exclusively ISO 9660 or HFS+ Extended.
Two burning apps that will let you do this on a trial basis are Dragon Burn and Disc Blaze. Roxio's Toast will also allow you to choose the target platform for the disc but it has no trial version.
Try one of these apps and let us know your results.

I-tunes on other MP3

I recently began using i-tunes, and am still learning the technical stuff. I cannot for the life of me transfer the 2 songs that I purchased off of i-tunes onto my MP3 player (which, unforunately, is not an i-pod but a Creative Zen V-Plus). Is there a list of certain songs that are compatible with players other than i-pod? I realize that i-tunes became available for non-i-pod users only recently.
Thank you!!

I'm not sure where you heard that the iTunes & the iTunes store is compatible with anything other than an iPod because it really isn't. Store purchases are in protected AAC format which is ONLY compatible with an iPod. You may burn your purchase to an audio CD, that audio CD can be used in the same manner that you would use a CD that you might purchase at your local store.

Cd/mp3 player was not playing all tunes burned to disk

Got my Mojo workin'.
That's a TDK "Mojo" CD-MP3 Digital Jukebox.
Sit back and relax while I tell of my Grand Journey of Exploration. (There is a question below too.)
I had made a some iTunes playlists of MP3s, and decided to burn them on CD-R disks for my portable player. I had them all sorted by Artist and Album. The burn process seemed to go well, but when I loaded the first disk into the Mojo, it seemed to scan the entire disk and count all the tunes. It finished counting after it found all 193 titles. However, when I tried to play them, it would only play the first 26 tunes or so. (Another disk I had burned at the same time (different playlist) gave similar unsatisfactory results, something like 19 out of 186 tunes.) I knew the Mojo was not a current model, and thought maybe there was some weird file incompatibility thing going on.
I popped the disk into my son's CD/MP3 player ("Koss" brand), and it managed to find 30 or 40 of them. A bit better, but not perfect.
I tried it in my DVD player, and it was able to play all 193 tunes. In fact, it loaded and started playing quicker than I had ever seen it do before. It usually thrashes and whirs for an annoyingly long time.
The odd thing was that the Koss was able to play all 76 tunes on another disk I had burned over a year ago, on my wife's Mac, with a version of iTunes for Mac System 9.2. Unfortunately, those files were gone from her Mac so I couldn't see what the iTunes setup was. I was thinking maybe the newer version of iTunes had a bug or something.
Then I inspected the old and new disks in the Finder and noticed that the new disk had a bunch of folders with the Artists' names, and each artist folder had folders within them with Album names, and the tunes were inside those folders.
The old disk (which worked fine in the Mojo player) just had the MP3 files and no folders whatsoever. I knew I was onto something, but I couldn't figure out how to burn a folder-less MP3 disk from iTunes, as opposed to doing it manually via the Finder.
I searched Apple.com > Support > Discussions > iTunes for Mac > Importing & Burning in iTunes for Mac yet again, this time using "folders" for the search term, and up popped several threads where people wanted files organized by folders on disks:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1464192
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1791538
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=781976
... which brought me to the document "iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD", at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60931
So, I removed the columns for "Artist" and "Album" names from the playlist, and burned it, et voila! it worked just fine in my Mojo, which plays all 193 tunes. (Too bad I didn't fix the ID3 tags beforehand.)
Now, for points:
I had the playlist sorted by Artist, and here are the first four titles (of 193)
Title ____________ Artist____________
Relative Ways ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Mistakes & Regrets ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Jubilation 20 Minute Loop
Queen of Pain Alkaline Trio
Muffin57 All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors
... etc.
Then when I remove the "Artist" column so that it only shows the Titles, it resorts like this:
Title ____________
Blacken My Thumb
Buckler
After School Thunder
Futuristic Genitalia
Once In A Lifetime (Cul De Sac)
... etc.
This is not the same as it was, nor is it alphabetical by Title.
If I click on the Title column header of course, it is ordered alphabetically by title, like this:
Title ____________
(Do Not Feed The) Oyster
(Got My) Rock Pants On
3 Away
27
68
Adventures In Conversation
After School Thunder
Algorithm Of Desire
Alive and Amplified
... etc.
Other than dragging all 193 tunes, one at a time, in order manually, how can I keep the original play order by Artist, without creating folders on the burned CD?
There is talk of "Copy to Play Order" in the iTunes Help/Support files...
To use this command, Control-click one of the songs in the playlist,
and choose "Copy to Play Order" from the shortcut menu. Tip: These
steps also apply to a playlist you have reordered directly (by clicking
on one of the column headers like Artist or Album).
... but I don't see that option when I Control-click anything. The bottom menuitem in the popup menu is "Clear". Same results with Right-clicking.
300 MHz "Blue & White" G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

Hmm. I see that the spaces have been chopped out in part of my first post, and it appears that I cannot edit it.
For clarity's sake, these are the Artists' names, in the partial listing for Ordered by Artist example in my previous post:
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
20 Minute Loop
Alkaline Trio
All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors

Coordinating mp3 Player w/ a loaded swf containing songs

Can Anyone please help me!! I am using MX Pro 2004.
I have an mp3 player loading my mp3's via an external xml
file, it works fine on the 'main' fla file.
My site is set up like this: main fla. file with every page
(external swf) loading into it.
I have a 'discography' page that you can flip through
different CD's, each with a list of it's songs, and a 'play' button
next to each. =How= do I get those play buttons to -coordinate-
with the mp3 player on the main fla.????????
The player has,(besides the usual ff/rr/stop,pause and play)
a vol. control, a loading bar and cd title and song title read out
for each tune. I -need- he songs on the externally loading
'discography.swf' to be able to call the -specified song- when the
button next to it is pressed -and- Stop whatever else is playing.
And =How= do I get the mp3 player buttons to behave on those
somgs?????
I have searched, tried everthing I could find code-wise and
I'm at a loss. I'm supposed to have this ready by tomorrow!!
Anyone?? I know there must be a way...I just don't know how
to code it.
Thanks in advance to any willing soul!

I RESOLVED THE ISSUE.
I have my MP3 player using an XML file to get file data from, such as the artist name and location of the MP3 files. I had the MP3 files in a folder called audio. What resolved the issue was taking the MP3 files out of the audio folder and putting them in the root directory with all of my PHP and SWF files. So, the audio files went from 'audio\christmas.mp3' to just 'christmas.mp3'.
It's still weird that Flash grabs the audio files just fine when they were in the audio folder when I accessed the SWF file from my C drive. The issue comes about when I try to access the MP3 files in the audio folder when trying to go through Apache web server. So, yes, I am saying there is something that Apache is not configured correctly to do and I suggested my web hosting service to figure it out, because they kept blamming JavaScript or some other web dev item as the issue. Even though it is messy to have all the MP3 files in the root directory, with the rest of my files, at least my MP3 player works in all 5 major browsers now.
Thanks for all your assistance KGlad. You can take down my MP3 files from your server.
I hope others find this thread very useful...it took a lot to figure it out.
You can check out the MP3 player at: http://www.walnuttreefalls.com/details_mp3_xmas.php

Creative mp3 player compatibility with PFS car au

I was wondering if the "Plays For Sure" compatible Creative Players will work with the PFS compatible car audio receivers from Kenwood and Alpine. I'm mostly wondering about my Zen Xtra, but I'm sure others would like to know if their players would work also. Is Creative pursuing testing this, or should I just assume that all PFS works with all other PFS?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one
problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision
MP3 player.
Yes, you are right.
I even burned a CD with
the music, and it won't play on my car stereo??
You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

PLAY I-TUNES BOUGHT SONGS, TO MY CAR CD PLAYER

I HAVE BOUGHT A LOT OF SONGS FROM I-TUNES. NOW I BURNED SOME OF THEM ON A CD. I TRIED TO PLAY THAT CD ON MY CAR CD PLAYER. IT DOES NOT PLAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If your car CD player, doesn't have Aux input cables, either a 30 pin Dock connector or 3.5mm stereo jack, but have FM radio, you can get an iPod FM transmitter to transmit the iPod music to the car Radio.
Google or search Amazon or eBay for iPod FM transmitter, should cost less than US$30.
Have a nice day!

this tutorial does not help.
Since we are on this topic, does anyone know of a way to create an mp3 player that pauses other songs in your play list when you hit play?

Can I use my new MP3 player in my car like an iP

I just bought a Creative Zen MicroPhoto MP3 player and I love it. I was wondering if they make a piece so I can play my MP3 player in my car like my friend can with his iPod. Just wondering.......

Any device that has a cable which connects to the headphone jack of an ipod will work with a Creative mp3 player. The best method of connecting is with a cable to the aux in on the car stereo, although some people have commented that the volume in their car doesn't get loud enough that way(it depends on the car). Another way to connect is using a cassette adapter if your car has a tape player. If not, the third option is using an FM transmitter(they are illegal to use in some places such as the UK though).

HT203164 My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's disks work just fine in the car. Please help.

My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's work just fine in the car. Please help.

Using my new G5 I have the same problem, which I did not know using my old G4 with an external LaCie burner. The CD-Changer in my car is not able to read audio-cds, also my cd-player in my home hifi-system. The only way to play these audio-cds is (strange...) to put them directly in the main tuner of my car (usually used for the navigation cd), not using the Changer.
Maybe the problem really depends on the quality of the CD-Rs. I have used CD-Rs from Sony (it´s a brand, I think?) and will try Verbatim.

itunes will only sync with an ios device.
On the other hand, if you have a usb cord for your mp3 player, and you know what FOLDER your itunes music is located in (and for me its located at C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media )
you can just select that folder and copy it to your mp3 player.
typically when you first plug in something like an mp3 player you get a windows alert asking if you want to view the contents of the device- say yes. copy your itunes folder to the music folder on your mp3 player.
