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?

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!

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).

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

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>

BB doesn't sell Cowon, so I don't know about them. Archos are because they're MSC, but most of their units are high-end. Not sure where you got cheap from. In the system requirements for the Sony and Samsung players, both say Windows, and do not mention Mac.
Cowon is the brand of choice for audiphiles. They are not made as well as some other units, but their sound quality is second to none.
The Archos MP3 players are comparatively cheap. The Archos 3 Vision is considerably cheaper at $78 than the equivalent models from Cowon and Samsung, both of which cost nearly twice that. The Archos 2 is $48 which is less than equivalent models from Apple, Samsung, Cowon, Sony, etc. The Archos 5/7/9 are tablets, not MP3 players and considering the huge storage capacities, are still priced better than the competition.
Sony and Samsung players are supported on Mac by a few different 3rd party free applications. I don't use iTunes for my iPod Nano either btw.

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...)

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.

Is there a "MP3 Normaliser" for Mac? I used to use MP3Gain, and need a mac.

Is there a "MP3 Normaliser" for Mac? I used to use MP3Gain, and need a Mac app now for it.
Im busy getting all my music organised, tags, alum art, names, folders, lryics etc, and I want to normalise all the MP3s to one level.
I have in the past used MP3Gain for windows, now I use a Mac, I dont want to have to copy all Mp3s to Win XP (boot camp) then copy them back once MP3Gain has ran.
I have found MP3Gain port for Mac, but it doesnt show the gains, and what it is ging to do, and am not usre if it chnages the encoding of the file, I know the Winodws version of MP3Gain didnt do this
Please help, this is the last step in me organising for my iMac, iTune and iPod, is there ayny other apps for tis? on Mac
cheers

When you say you found a MP3Gain port for the Mac were you referring to MacMP3Gain?
It seems to be doing nothing more than acting as a front end UI for the command line MP3Gain. In fact if you tunnel through the directories you can find the command line MP3Gain and simply use that if you're comfortable with it. This means though that as far as I can tell it isn't re-encoding anything but merely altering the gain flag associated with each frame (or whatever they're called). In fact there seems to be no reason why a reset function couldn't be added easily into the UI part as I have succesfully used the command line to alter the gain and then remove it from some test mp3 files.

Questions on Flip4Mac and MS Windows Media player for Mac

If one installs "flip4mac" sofware, the plugin is installed. Will there be a icon or an application file for this software and an uninstaller file in the application folder? Do I have to activate the plugin before I use the web site to play the "wma" or "wmv" files? or it is not necessary to do that once it is installed? To uninstall, do I activate the "uninstall" file or the icon in the application folder?
As per Dave, in the Maxfixit, he says he uninstalled and went back to using media player. Does the Microsoft WM player handle DRM files to play? If so why Craig is saying that Flip4Mac is a "MUST HAVE"? Why not install the Microsoft WM player instead of Flip4Mac?
If one wants to install Microsoft WM player, what is latest version available for Mac? and where can I get it from and install it? MS WM player for Mac ver 9 comes in .bin or .hqt formats not .dmg format. Does the .bin format be installed by doule clicking on the file? or you need "stuffit" prog to expand and install the same?
Appreciate your suggestions regarding this matter. Thanks.

A Flip4Mac application folder is created in the Applications folder. An uninstaller is included in the folder along with the Flip4Mac player application.
Flip4Mac currently does not play files that are protected by the MS DRM. However, if you use WMP on an Intel Mac you will have to run the browser in Rosetta because the WMP browser plug-in is not a universal binary. I'm not sure that the Mac version of WMP will play DRM protected files.
Yes, Stuffit is required to unpack the archive. You can download Stuffit Expander from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com or www.allume.com.

Want to use an iPod photo configurated for Mac on a PC

I want to use my old iPod photo (configurated for Mac) on a PC (but do not need to keep my songs and photos). Is this possible? If so, what do I do?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 5th generation 60 GB

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC, this would also mean any future software updates would have to be done on Windows. This will erase your drive so you need to have your songs and photos backed up. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews and has the functionality to let you copy content from the iPod to the PC. Not sure if it does photos but have a look: XPlay 2
You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

Windows Media Player for MAc and other issues

I just bought a mac a week ago.
Decided to do the switch since the person at the store told me I could use the win XP interface. Anyway after installing the win xp, i realised my laptop doesnt not recognise the drivers.I got no sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Since I need to listen to some online lecture recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player for mac ..it still doesnt work...
I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just getting on my nerves....
can someone please guide me or do you have any similar problem?
Thanks

pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Yes the service pack is an issue if you're using Boot Camp to run XP. If you don't have SP2, you can try running Parallels Desktop (http://www.Parallels.com) which doesn't require SP2.

Some streaming media sites are not compatible with Mac OS X. Are these online lectures for school? I would simply ask the person running the class to help you get support. They can tell you pretty quickly if it's possible to listen with a Mac. If it's not, you should be able to do it from XP with either Parallels or Boot Camp (provided you have an SP2 version of XP).

There are times that using a Mac (with 5% market share) is frustrating because many websites don't follow standards properly. If the web designers blow it off and only support Windows, 95% of the users are still happy and don't complain. That's lazy and infuriating but it happens quite a lot. There's even a name for it: Mac Marginalization.
So you will run into this from time to time. The best solution on the Macbook is to get one of the Windows environments up and running properly. But you should still complain LOUDLY to the people who set up the bad website. The only way this will change is if users let lazy site administrators know that they are MAD about it.

Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

"Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
Sure, why not?
You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

What media player for Mac has Speed Control and can open WMA?

Hello,
I recently changed from PC to Mac and I am working on my thesis transcribing interviews that come in a .wma format. So I need a media player for Mac that has both Speed Controlers (so I can slow down the audio to transcribe them) and can open .wma audio files. Please! I really hope there is a way out of this, thank you very much!

The Audacity application will playback at a selectable speed --
