Songs in MP3-Player wont play

Hi everybody, my kids downloaded several songs from the ITMS. They dont play in their (non-apple) MP3-Players. Did we waste our money or is there a way to make them play?
Thanks for answers!

No your in the clear, once you buy your music you own it. You can do whatever you want with it exept authorize more than 5 computers to share it.
That's not completely correct. First, you don't own music (even on CD), you own certain rights to use it, depending on the terms of the license. Second, you can't "do whatever you want with it": both the Terms of Sale of the iTunes Music Store and the copyrights on the tracks have limitations. Basically you can use the tracks for personal use, but are forbidden from using them commercially in any way, giving them away or selling them, or trying to break the copy protection.
Just to be clear.
Regards.

Need a mp3 player that plays wav fi

Does Creative make an mp3 player that plays wav files and uses removeable memory?

Mobile_Hackbox: Most, if not all, Creative players play WAV files.
The problem is that the Zen range at least use tag data to play the files, and WAV files don' t have tag data, making it very very difficult to navigate the files.
I think very few players have removable memory. Perhaps the MuVo Sport C00.

ITunes MP3 CD wont play in MP3 enabled stereo

Hi All
I have been searching around these forums and this is driving me round the bend. I burn an iTunes MP3 CD and it wont play in my car stereo. The discs load but just show up as a one track CD that continuously plays but with no sound.
My car is not old and it can play MP3 CD's. I have tried all the recommendations - adding to a playlist and setting the playlist order, creating cd's in the root directory, creating cds with tracks in folders and also using the Finder to burn the files to disc - nothing.
I really want to do this as my car has no aux input and FM transmitters are rubbish quality.
Any ideas?

Could be the CD burner. Has it been checked?

HELP! iphone media player wont play files in a .htaccess protected folder.

I installed a personal webserver, Apache and configured it to provide access to my .mp3 files. Through Safari on the iphone I can connect to my webserver and see all of my .mp3 files. If I click on one, it fires up the music/media player.. then says "movie cannot be played". NOW, if I remove any .htaccess protections from the folder or server, then it works perfectly fine and will play my files. With the .htaccess set it does indeed ask me for a login/password,which I enter, but it STILL wont play the file. This stinks. Any smart web people out there know how I can use my own web server to access my files while protection them from other people browsing my IP???? Thanks in advance.

I'm not using secure access (https). I started with the most basic configuration, standard http: on port 80, etc. The configuration works perfectly fine when tested on my home PC. The problem seems to be in Safari on the iphone it prompts me for a login, and accepts it.. then it fires up the media/movie player and I'm guessing it's not passing the authentication/credentials/whatever to the movie player. When the media tries to play, it notes it's an access controlled file and just quits out. The movie player doesnt seem to allow asking of login/password info. Thoughts??

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.

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?

I have over 9000 songs and over half wont play in my itunes how do i get them all to work

I have over 9000 songs in my itunes and over half of them wont play how do i make it so that all of them will play and i have a windows 7 os installed

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

A song I just downloaded wont play

I just downloaded Last Night by Diddy and it wont play. All my other songs play and the Diddy song shows the Album Art. the only thing I notice thats different is it doesn't say Protected AAC Audio File. Its just blank. What do I do? I dont want to but the song twice

I have a 2nd gen. iPod and it wont play a song I
recently downloaded (My Doorbell by The White
Stripes). What should I do? I already tried
downloading it again, and that didnt work.
I have the same issue with the same song. Itunes will play it, but my Ipod will skip several songs on the album before it starts to play.

MP3 player not playing as music is marked as 'Protected conte

Hi.
I am the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player. I have copied some music to the player, but not all tracks are played.
I believe its because some tracks have been marked as protected content (can be viewed by selecting properties).
All tracks have been ripped from my own (original) CD, so I should have the legal rights to copy to my MP3.
Some time ago a got a new laptop and copied my entire music library from the old one to the new one. It seems as though I only have troubles with tracks ripped on the old one.
Could someone please advise my how to remove the protection flag so I can use my MP3 player instead of ripping all my CD's again?
Thanks in advance.

allander,
The protection license might not have been transfer over to your new pc from the old one and unfortunately the protection can't be removed. Did you try transferring those audio files through Mediasource or Windows Media Player to the player as these protected files need such application for transfer.

Help exporting all songs to mp3 player

Hi, just purchased a sofisticated home entertainment system (smart home) I have to put
all my songs from iTunes into an mp3 player that this system uses.
How do I get all my songs from iTunes into the mp3 player?

Does the MP3 player hook up to your Mac? And if does it show up on the desk top as a drive to add stuff into?
