Move songs to a Sansa MP3 Player

Can I move a playlist from itunes to a Sansa MP3 player? I tried to drag the songs over but it didn't work.

Not directly, no. iTunes doesn't support any players other than an iPod/iPhone. If the tracks are in a format that the Sansa can play, though, then you should be able to load them to the Sansa using whatever method the Sansa would normally use.

  • How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player?

    How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player.  I used to just drag them over but I won't let me anymore.

    You should be able to download a codec that will allow Windows Media Player to play non-protected AAC files from the iTunes library. I believe this function is built in to WMP for Windows 7 and 8.
    See this post for general tips for sharing media between WMP and iTunes libraries.

  • I have a Sansa mp3 player that is full of tunes I would like to transfer to itunes. I've read other forums, but they are a bit old. Is there  a new way I can do this?

    I have a Sansa mp3 player that is full of tunes I would like to transfer to itunes. I've read other forums, but they are a bit old. Is there  a new way I can do this?

    You will need to consult the documentation for the Sansa to learn how to get the tracks off of the player onto your computer. Once they're on the computer, either drag the tracks into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command under the File menu.

  • Transferring songs from an old MP3 player to a new o

    I have a Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with 59 songs on it and I also have a Creative Zen Micro Photo. I want to transfer the songs from my old one to my new one. The computer i used to organize the music for my old MP3 player ran on Windows ME. The Zen Micro requires Windows XP, so I installed it on a different computer. How in the hell can I get the music files from one player to the other?

    If you've got a CD burner on the computer with ME then you can transfer the songs from the Xtra onto CD (in mp3 format: you should be able to fit a couple of hundred songs on one cd), and then move the CD across and transfer the songs onto the new player.

  • Can't get movie clip to play on Mp3 player

    I have a Coby mP3 player that works well with Mac, except movie clips must be in MTV to work. I have a Quicktime movie clip off the internet, i want to put on the Mp3 player, if possible. Any way to convert the movie so it functions??
    Thanks

    taffers is right, especially since I have never heard of "MTV Format," so if this is a real thing, it is probably a proprietary Coby standard.

  • ITunes wont recognize sansa mp3 player

  • 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?

  • Copy songs to MP3 player

    When I bought a 2 GB mp3 player for $10, I thought I had a DEAL! When I copied approximately 1.8 GB of songs to this mp3, it stopped with only 94 songs being copied. It shows 1.3 GB available.
    Does anyone know a way to copy all the songs to what appears to be sufficient room on the mp3 player?
    When I copied songs to a flash drive and then to a WINDOZ computer, a message popped up informing me that hidden files were present. I chose the option not to copy those hidden files. It turned out they were 4 KB files, and I deleted them.
    Next I deleted everything from the mp3 player and copied files onto the player from the WINDOZ computer. Now 178 songs are on the mp3 player, and they occupy 1.07 GB. This means it still has room for more songs. However, it refuses to copy even one more song.
    Does anyone know why I am unable to copy more songs when adequate space remains? No more hidden files remain on the player.

    That was my idea (to format it using OS X), but I am unsure as to whether I would then be able to listen to any of the songs if it is in another format. Disk Utility told me it was FAT16. My info about FAT16 is that it should be able to accommodate more than 178 files. These problems don't appear in OSX.
    The player is an Eclipse-mp3 sold by a group whose business name is Mach Speed. They are located in Oklahoma. I have an idea they bought a batch from China and resold them. They are like the 1 GB and 2 GB aluminum Shuffles, but they are black and slightly larger. Headphones can be attached to listen to tunes while it is plugged into the computer. Tiger is not selling them now, probably because they received many complaints about the player. I bought more than one, and on one of them the volume cannot be changed.
    Compounding the copy problem is the auto-shutdown of this player (to conserve its battery). Mac always interprets this as an improper disconnect. It does not shut down while files are being copied to it or while it is playing. When it disconnects, it interrupts what I was doing with it.

  • How can I listen to songs I purchased on Itunes with my generic Mp3 player?

    I was given $50 Itunes credit for Christmas and promptly bought an album from itunes. I actually could have bought the album as a real CD at the local store but thought I'd use my itunes voucher instead.
    Now I find that I can not just copy and paste the songs or convert the songs into mp3 format so that I can play the songs in my portable mp3 player.
    I don't want to buy an ipod as am very happy with the player I have.
    So the albun is stuck on my laptop.
    Any advice or solution would be appreciated please.

    I'm curious...If it's a record company restriction, then why is it that Amazon can sell them in unrestricted MP3 format, as you say.
    It is up to each retailer to reach agreements with their suppliers. Different agreements may be reached.
    I haven't checked out Amazon yet so maybe they have different music for sale, not from the major record companies?
    The amazon.com MP3 Download Store carries all 4 major labels. (The fourth, Sony, was added in January 2008.) However, it is not available in Australia.

  • Using multiple MP3 Player With iTunes

    I'm new to iTunes and have a Sansa MP3 player that I want to give my young son. I would then buy an iPod for myself. Can I transfer songs back and forth to multiple MP3 players (not necessarly iPods) from my PC without purchasing the same song again? In other words, once I buy a song, can I sync it to multiple palyers?

    Content purchased from the iTunes Store is in a protected AAC format except for EMI songs, which are unprotected AAC songs. Neither format will work on an MP3 player without being converted; see here for instructions on converting an unprotected song.
    A song can be synced from the iTunes library to any handheld player capable of using that format without needing to purchase it again.

  • P505-S8980 not uploading to MP3 player in stereo

    I have been using a Sansa MP3 player since before having this computer. It was uploading in Stereo until I attempted to us a ion Profile LP turntable to transfer LP's to MP3 AND CD formats.
    ion uses i-tunes and it did something to my sound system when I uploaded i-tunes.
    I have since uninsalled all files related to i-tunes.
    Suggestions?

    Are you referring to protected AAC files that you purchased from the iTunes store? If so, they are not mp3s, and cannot be converted into mp3s. All you can do with them is use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.
    If they are unprotected files, such as iTunes Plus purchased files, or AAC files that you ripped from CD, then you can use iTunes to convert them to mp3. Look in iTunes Help under "Saving a copy of a song in a new file format."

  • Which MP3 Player Should I buy?

    After using a MP3 player in my clunky  5 year old cell phone for years, I'd like to buy a player.  I understand that the I-tunes program that my sister downloaded onto my computer, along with her songs will only play on an Apple I-Pod.  Does that mean I have to buy an I-Pod, or can I use her songs on a different MP3 player?  Is the quality the same for the different brands?  I wouldn't be a fan of the monopoly that Apple has  if I can avoid it.  I just want something light to use for excercise, perhaps a Nano or Sony with 16 GB or so.
    Thanks

    Nokia is correct the iTunes files are in .m4a format. However you can easily right click on the song in iTunes and select "Create ___ Version". I left that blank in there because iTunes has different conversion options like convert it to mp3, acc, apple lossless, wav or aiff. I should also note this will not affect the original song. It will just make a second copy of it with one being the original in .m4a format and the second being in whatever format you selected.

  • Using itunes files for differnt MP3 player

    In our household we have 2 iPods and a seperate generic MP3 player. I cannot get itunes songs to the generic MP3 player. It seems almost impossible to copy these.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    The DRM protected songs from the iTunes store (the ones that cost .99 and show up as "Protected AAC" if you sort by kind in iTunes) will only work on iPods, your computer and certain iTunes compatible cell phones. They won't work on other mp3 players.
    The newer, DRM-free tracks (so far only music on the EMI label, which cost 1.29 and shou up as AAC when sorted by kind) will play on players that support eh AAC format. Some players do and some don't. Check your owner's manual.
    Even if your player supports AAC, you won't be able to use iTunes to transfer the files. Again, check the owner's manual for your player to determine how to load music on to it.

  • MP3 player is not an iPod- help needed

    I've got an iTunes gift card and would just like to get a few tunes and use my existing setup. I like Windows Media Player and I have a Sansa mp3 player. I can't play my iTunes music with Windows Media Player and I can't sync my mp3 player with iTunes. Can anyone provide help?

    You can't use iTunes purchases on anything other than an iPod or an iTunes compatible phone or convert them to another format because of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However if you burn it to an audio CD you can import it back as MP3. You'll be able to use this version of the track on other devices or software.
