Playing iTunes music elsewhere?

So... the music I put on my mp3 player doesn't work. It is in m4p format, I assume that is the problem. Got a way to make it work and convert it that is allowed, or is the "free song" in the box of cereal a scam to get people to buy iPods? No chance I'm doing that, I don't have much music, and my 64 Meg MuVo that came with the computer functions perfectly.

All major music download sites have some type of protection on the files to prevent illegal file sharing. This is required by the record companies before they will make any songs/albums available for download ANYWHERE. The second most common type of file protection is protected WMA format which is not compatible with an iPod, so if I tried to use Napster for example, I would be in the same boat. My Napster purchases would not be compatible with my iPod & I would have to burn them to an audio CD, which you can use to re-import into iTunes. I've told you how you can get your purchases to your Nomad, that is the only thing you can do.

    Is there a way to play itunes music while the computer is shut?

    Not without either an external monitor and keyboard, or using a hack. If you want to try an hack app, look into:

    WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

    I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
    Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
    This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
    I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
    I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
    Any help here would be appreciated.
    thanx

  • How to play itunes music from external hard drive

    How do I either play continuous music from my external hard drive, or make itunes recognize my external hard drive as the library.

    Hi Jim
    I've recently upgraded to a macbook Pro and I copied all data, profiles etc across from my old macbook. I have also created a second account in my mackbook Pro. I am able to play my iTunes music from the external HD in the 'old' account, but not in the 'new' account, despite trying what you've said above. On the external HD, there are two folders: iTunes music and iTunes media. I have tried selecting each of these, but both times, I get this message: "An iTunes library file could not be found in the folder "iTunes Media". Please choose a different folder." ... Please can you help?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • IPhoto will not play iTunes music in slideshow

    Slideshow I created in iPhoto will only play theme music.  When I select my music from iTunes, the slideshow does not play the music. I have made dozens of slideshows before without this problem.  Seems to be a bug with iPhoto now.  Any suggestions??

    Assuming this is for iPhoto on your Mac:
    Launch iTunes use the File -> Library -> Organize Library -> Reorganize Library menu option. Then quit and relaunch iPhoto.

  • Ipod will not play itunes music store purchased music

    I know this topic has been discussed here before, but i still have yet to find a valid answer, so i figured i'd start another thread to see if anyone has found a solution yet. sorry for the repeat subject.
    I have a 30GB ipod (with the 4 buttons above the scroll wheel) which suddenly will not play music which has been purchased from the itunes music store. everything which was imported from CDs plays fine. the songs in question play fine through itunes - both from my library on my G5, as well as from the ipod, so it does not seem to be an authorization problem. i've reset the ipod numerous times, trashed itunes preferences, updated to the latest version of itunes, and updated the ipod itself to the latest software version... all to no avail. when i select an itunes purchased album on the ipod, it simply cycles through, song by song, without playing anything.
    I haven't restored the ipod to the factory settings yet, as i would like to avoid doing so because i will loose some music which i previously only had on a now dead ibook (faulty logic board). besides, i know from reading old posts, other people with the same problem have tried this as well, to no avail.
    can anyone offer any other help/advice on how to remedy this problem? thanks in advance.

    It appears that some songs in the iTunes store that were added to the store since the end of November will not play on 1st generation shuffles. They transfer to the shuffle fine but will not play. These same songs transfer to other iPods and play just fine. Many people are having these problems (see the Apple discussion boards). The only known solution is to burn the tracks to a cd and re-import them into your library (a royal pain in the butt). And, yes, I have tried all of Apple's recommendations and even went through troubleshooting with tech support over the phone. I was told they'd call me in a few days after speaking with their engineers but never heard back from them.
    PLEASE contact apple either by the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
    OR by calling the support number:
    1-800-275-2273
    Hopefully, with enough complaints, Apple will be forced to correct the problem. It seems to me (and quite a few other people) that something changed on the encryption/the way they are encoding new music in the store that has made the music incompatible with our shuffles.

  • How to play itunes music library from iMac using apple remote? Can only use my iPhone as a REMOTE to play on itunes to Apple TV!!

    how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV. 

    You cannot.  The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer.  If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

  • Can't play itunes music downloaded from old account

    I  have a bunch of iTunes music downloads I purchased on an old account using an old email many years ago. I no longer have the password and have looked but have not found a way to close out the old account and authorize the music downloads to my current account.
    When I tried to retrieve info on the old account it asked me for my birthday. I chose the correct date but the response was the date was INCORRECT!!
    Beyond frustrating!!

  • How do I play iTunes Music Videos on my PC

    I bought a music video on my iPad and want to play it on my Laptop.
    I can't find anywhere on iTunes on my Laptop where that option comes up. I can search the same music video on the iTunes store on my laptop and it comes up for sale again.
    I used to play them on my PC all the time, but haven't tried it in a year. Did the support for this get removed from iTunes for some reason?
    Yes, I have already asked it to sync purchases.
    Not sure if anyone else is having issues, but I've had more problems since I upgraded to iOS 8 and all the subsequent versions of 8 than I've ever experienced upgrading Windows on a PC, since they came out with Windows ME. Certain features in a bunch of apps stopped working, video playback freezes all the time (this is on an iPad 4), and stuff that I have just bought, regularly comes up telling me that I haven't purchased it, even though I have a receipt for it.
    HELP! I really wish I could roll back to iOS7.X, even 8.1 really, really *****!

    This is for the people at Apple: The iPhone is fantastic and has changed my life, but please work on
    enabling iPhone users to view continuous music videos like iPod users can.

  • HT1420 I have "authorized" my new computer--still not authorized to play itunes music associated with old apple id

    I have "authorized" my new computer in itunes to play and sync old itunes library. However, not all songs can be played due to a continuing authority problem. Apparently, these old songs are associated with a old user apply id--and old--no longer accessible email address. What can I do to associate music (which I paid for) on an old outdated apple id to my current apple id?  Thank you!

    Copy it from the other computer or from your backup copy of your other computer.

I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it.
