Using a different brand MP3 player in 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.

There are a limited number of other players that will show up in iTunes for Mac but apart from the phones from Motorola none can play content from the iTunes Music Store. The Creative Zen Nano Plus is one that does connect and that you can drag tracks to from within iTunes. However yours may not be one of the few compatible models. Apple haven't updated the compatibility list for years, this is the only one I could find: iTunes for Mac OS X: Compatible Players

Using a non-iPod MP3 player with iTunes??

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).

You made a mistake already. If you want MP3s, it is better to avoid the iTunes Store altogether, and buy songs in MP3 format (e.g. from Amazon Digital Music or other source).
But all is not lost. First check whether your MP3 player can play songs in AAC format. If yes, continue to next step. If not, convert your Purchased AAC files to MP3 per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Once you have them in the right format, add them to the MP3 player. iTunes is not capable of automatically syncing a non-Apple device. However, for most players you can connect via USB, highlight the tracks you want from iTunes, and drag them into the player.

This would be a violation of the terms of use of the itunes store and could result in the loss of your account.
You cannot use the U.K. itunes store unless you are in the U.K

Using an MP3 player with iTunes

We have two iPods and my daughter has a Samsung MP3 player. Now that music on iTunes 8 can be played on other digital music players (not iPods), how do you actually get the music from iTunes onto the MP3 player? Do I have to burn it to a CD first?

That is two different questions. If the Samsung can handle AAC files, then you can use iTunes Plus purchases on it. (iTunes 8 has nothing to do with it.)
As far as loading the songs, iTunes cannot be used for any player other than an iPod. For best advice, read the instructions that came with the Samsung.

Using plain old mp3 player with iTunes on Mac

Hi all,
I want to use a plain, old USB MP3 player (mass storage-type) with iTunes on my Mac (OS X 10.4.x). I asked this question over on the Windows iTunes forum at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1264196&tstart=0
and wondered if there's anything that'll work on the Mac.
In Windows, I basically have resorted to drag-n-drop from the iTunes window to a Windows Explorer window showing the USB MP3 player as a removable drive, or to using iTunes Agent (http://ita.sourceforge.net), which is a Windows-only solution.
What's the solution on Mac OS X?
Thanks,
Matthew

I think a universal "none" is probably a bit presumptuous. If you're able to get music onto the player in Windows via drag and drop, I see no reason why that won't work on the Mac as well, provided that your Mac can recognize the drive. I would imagine it can, as I've never come across a PC formatted drive that my Mac didn't recognize.
There is also a freeware application called XNJB that apparently works as an interface between a Mac and a Creative MP3 player. I haven't used either, so can't vouch for them at all.
Just that like I said, a universal "none" is probably a bit presumptuous.

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.

Viewing memory on my mp3 player with iTunes 8

I use a Rio mp3 player and prior to the iTunes 8 install iTunes would show # of songs, total time and MB remaining which would easily allow me to find that last song, based on size, to squeeze on to the player and completely fill the memory. Now iTunes no longer shows MB remaining just MB total used. Is there a way to get the remaining memory to show so I don't have to break out a calculator or use trial and error to find a song that will fill that last bit of memory?

In the iTunes preferences, find the Importing tab and change it to Import as MP3 instead of as AAC (AAC is stored in an M4A file).
Then import your CD. This will produce MP3's which you can then put on an MP3 player.

HT1296 how do i synch music between my gateway mp3 player and iTunes?

Help!

You don't.
Itunes sync with Apple devices.
You will have to read the directions that came with the mp3 player to learn how to put music on it.

Using N96 as a MP3 Player.

Hi, I have a N96 that i would like to use via my car stereo as a MP3 player,the car has a USB port that i can connect the Phone to via the cable that came with the phone,is this possible? any ideas?

Check your car stereo's user guide for USB media as how it wants the folders/directories and files laid out.
Once your files are structured so that the car stereo can handle it, and you have the files in a suitable audio format (it might not be able to play MP3s at all bitrates, for example), then connecting the phone in USB mass storage (data transfer) mode should be enough.
Note also that the car stereo might be expecting to see only one drive, so if you have also a memory card inside the phone, I don't know what happens in that case as then you'd see two (the internal mass memory as well as the memory card). Check your car stereo docs for that, too, or just try with and without a memory card.

Syncing mp3 player with iTunes...help

I have a Trio MP3 player (yes, I know, that is most of the problem, but bear with me)
iTunes will not allow me to copy song files and convert them to MP3's so I can put them onto the MP3 player. (heaven help me, I miss my iPod) The MP3 player will only play MP3's, not mp4's nor aac files.
I have tried this by placing the songs I want into a new play list - selecting all files in new playlist - go to advanced - select convert selection to MP3...the mac says that it is converting the requested files to MP3 format. Yet, it only turned them into AAC files. I have changed the preferences of importing and burning to MP3 (from AAC), but to no avail. I repeat the steps above and get the same result.
I have also moved the songs into a file on the desktop, but connot convert them from there.
iTunes also will not let me change the AAC files I purchased from iTunes into MP3's...they are "protected".
Help.
I wasn't able to buy another iPod after ours was stolen, so got this instead. All I want to do is be able to take the songs I legally purchased from iTunes and the ones I importeed from my own legally purchase cd's and put them on this MP3 player. ( I cannot reimport the cd music, those were stolen along with the iPod)
Help!

Have you tried updating your iTunes Library to iTunes Plus. This will enable you to convert those purchases, as iTunes Plus songs and music videos are DRM-free. You can update your library for 30¢ a song, as long as your purchases are available in the new format.

Mp3 Player and Itunes media version

Ok i have read from at least 1 user that i cannot convert the files i download from m4p to mp3 format. I wanted to know if this is true?
If so than im in a bit of a bind and have another question. I have an mp3 player that is not an Ipod the only problem with it is now apparent, it doesn't support m4p files. I plan to contact the company but the question really goes back to my first one... Is there any possible way to convert these files to mp3?

it would just be great if Apple Itunes would allow us
to authorize our non-Ipod Mp3's, considering we
purchashed all of this music from them. would you
agree?
PC Windows
XP
Absolutely agree. I spent 4 hours yesterday Hijacking the Audio on a double album and relabelling the tracks. At least when you download from limewire the labels are (reasonably) intact and you can play the music out of the box. I want to pay for music, that is fair, but I won't be paying Apple if I have to go through all this grief. As the drawbacks inherent in iPods become clearer to consumers and sales level and drop Apple will have to address their compatibility issues or they will be stuck in the corner by themselves again.

How do I use 2 different ipods on the same itunes sofyware

I have a 5th generation (I think) ( plays videos and is 60g.This is the software that is installed on computer. My friends has a nano but no cumputer. Can I use the same software to put songs on her nano.Will her nano work on my software ,will it screw things up, what are the risks involved

so it's ok for you and your wife to share but not kiser and his friend with no computer ?
Correct.
seems weird that 2 people cannot share a computer, what about roomates and 1 computer ?
No one is saying they can't share a computer. I'm saying they can't share copyrighted material such as digital music on a portable device.
so if anyone wants to buy an ipod they have to go out and buy a computer ????????
Not at all. They can buy the iPod and just look at it.
They could also use a family member's computer, or a friend's computer IF THEY PUT THEIR OWN MUSIC ON IT. If they own a CD, there's nothing wrong with bringing that to a friend or family member's computer and using that machine to get the CD put on their iPod.
As long as no one else but the owner of the CD puts a copy of their music on their player... no problem.
It's quite simple. You can only have music on your iPod which you presently own the original media for (CD, Record, etc.), legally purchased iTunes Music Store track, other legally purchased digital media.

Can I use 2 different countries alternatively in one iTunes Store account?

Thank you very much in finding time to read (and possibly answer) this query of mine. My iTunes Store account is Philippine-based (even though I live in Dubai right now) ever since I had one and most of my apps we're purchased in that store. However, since a there are a lot of apps and most especially eBooks which I could only get from the US iTunes Store, I am planning to alternatively change the country of my account from Philippines to US and vice versa whenever I need to update apps on a specific store. But my default country would still be in the Philippine iTunes Store. Is that possible? Can I still read my purchased eBooks (from the US iTunes Store) for my iBooks app even if I revert back to the Philippine iTunes Store? Because the eBook selection for the Philippine iBookstore *****! It doesn't offer popular titles or new ones for people to read. Anyway, I've got my auntie's US address for me to be able to make a US iTunes Store account and I'll be using a iTunes gift card for my purchases since I don''t have a US-based credit/debit card with me.
I'd be so grateful to anybody who could give me specific answers to my specific questions on this post.
Thanks in advance!

It is illegal to access an iTunes Store in one country from another country. I know what you are doing, so I'm informing you that doing so is a violation of law.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
From here > The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
Billing policy is the same for the iTunes and Mac App Stores.
