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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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).

Mp3 player with movie

can I sync my mp3 player with itunes and download movies with no problems.

Assuming your MP3 player is an iPod with video capabilities, then yes, it is quite possible to sync with iTunes and download movies. That's exactly what iTunes is designed to do, and I do it frequently.
However, I doubt if anybody here would know, better than you, if you can do it with no problems. Have you tried?

Mp3 player with built in speaker

HI,
I am looking for a basic mp3 player with a built in speaker under $100.
I just want to listen to podcasts that I download on my macbook and then
transfer to an mp3 player. I don't need video or lot of bells and whistles - but a built-in-speaker is crucial as well as being able to marry with a mac.
Simple drag and drop would be ideal.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

MP3 players come in a range of options and prices. iPods are probably the best, but are also among the pricier. You can see a bunch of options here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Audio/iPod-MP3-Players/abcat0201000.c?id=abcat020100 0&searchterm=mp3%20player&searchresults=1
Since this is an iTunes Forum, please be aware that the automatic sync option for iTunes only applies to iPods, and does not work with other players. You can however use your MP3 tracks both in iTunes and in your portable player.

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.

Is Creative going to make a mp3 player with the 24-bit Crystaliz

I have dropped my Zen Touch 20 GB a few times (I know, I'm clumsy), and the most recent drop really damaged it. It still plays, but I can only scroll down with the touch pad (scrolling up goes down as well), and rarely the song skips forward randomly (progress bar does not skip forward though, this has happened ever since I got much Touch, but it happens slightly more frequently now).
I've tried pushing in on the touch pad as some have suggested, and resetting the Zen Touch did not help.
I was considering investing in a Zen Sleek Photo, but I think I will stick my Touch since I mostly use Shuffle play anyways.
However, has Creative announced any plans to create a mp3 that uses the 24-bit Crystalizer from the X-Fi soundcard series? I have a X-Fi Fatlty edition, and the sound is absolutely amazing, it blows standard CD and mp3 players away. If Creative made a mp3 player with the Crystalizer, I would buy it no questions asked, death to the iPod!
... That's IF Creative makes one, so does anyone happen to know? It may not even be technically possible, but heck if I know

Yes, it is technically possible and Creative will incorporate the X-Fi technology in its future MP3 players.
This was confirmed by Creative CEO, Mr Sim Wong Hoo when Creative announced its quarterly earnings about a month ago.
At that time, Mr Sim also said that the earliest we can see the X-Fi technology on Creative's MP3 players might be early next year.
But as Creative will be releasing a yet-to-be-announced product in Paris tommorrow (8 dec), i'm not sure if we will get to see it earlier than expected!
Just keeping my fingers crossed, but what ever new product Creative release tmr, it will definately make my xmas more merry!

Using the mp3 player with various comput

Hello,
I was wondering if I can use the mp3 player with more than one computer, that's to say, not only with the first one. I'm in the USA now but I li've in Italy, so if I buy it here and use it here to download songs, then will I be able to use it in Italy too? Meaning, will I be able to use it with another computer and download others song on it's
And another question, concerning the battery, what happens when it dies? Because on the mp3 player homepage I read something about replacing it but I would like to know more about it. The battery is a big concern because I'm choosing between Ipod and this one, and on the discussion forums of Ipod, it wasn't very reassuring. While I had heard that Creative's battery is good.
Thank you very much. Please answer soon.

Lithium Ion batteries last on average 3 years at peak performance from date of manufacture. More here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Flash MP3 Player with Timer

Heres the thing:
I have developped a mp3 player with a tutorial, and now I need it to mute when it comes a certain time like 23pm and then unmute at 10am for example.
I am a really noob at this and need real help to get this done, its for a christmas family project
The real idea is to set an hour to mute the sound and another to unmute it.
The player I have done its the one in the following tutorial http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3musicplayer/6.php
I really hope you guys can help me ! :S
thanks in advance

if you just want to check the time when your app starts, use:
function playSong(mySong:Number):void{
var myTitle = my_songs[mySong].@TITLE;
var myArtist = my_songs[mySong].@ARTIST;
var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
title_txt.text = myTitle;
artist_txt.text = myArtist;
if (my_channel){
my_channel.stop();
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.load(new URLRequest(myURL));
my_channel = my_sound.play();
my_channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onNext);
    var myTime = new Date();
    var myHour:Number = myTime.getHours();
var st:SoundTransform=my_channel.soundTransform;
   if ((myhour>=10)&&(myhour<=(22)){
st.volume=1;
} else {
st.volume=0;
my_channel.soundTransform=st;
