Does it have it's own program? Meaning I don't have to use Itunes to set it up?

I'm not really sure of what the internal program is or is called. But I don't do anything ITunes. The unit can be set so that you can drag and drop your music, audio books, and text books onto it. Note: set the order and folders the way you want them on the computer before you load them to the S9. Once loaded all you can do is play and listen. The S9 does have a playlist feature built in that you do operate on the unit. Hope that answers your question. Happy listening.

Cowon uses Windows Explorer (or whatever operating system you have on your computer) to see the music you have (MP3's usually) and you just drag and drop them to and from the player. Simple and effective. That is one of the major reasons why I chose a Cowon (quite apart from the music quality being 10 times better than iPods!). No stupid, pain-in-the-rear iTunes!!!! Any other questions, please let me know.

When you plug it in your computer it is like an external hard drive, you just drag and drop you mp3 files. You can you their free app too, but only works in windows, no Mac support. Cheers

Hi,I'm not a young woman and of course not having many software skills,but I bought this player a few years ago and I found it very easy and friendly to use. It has its touch screen with icons that make us to find the different functions. I've never had iTunes and this is the first and the only MP3 Player I have had. At the begining,as with many things, you need try to be familiar with the interfase but if I could ...you 'd better .I hope this help you.

Only Apple stuff works with iTunes. Media player or File Explorer (drag & drop) are much easier to use than iTunes anyway.

I never used iTunes but I did a quick google search and in a few forums, people discussed that it can play iTunes, but it won't sync with apple software. Apparently you'd have to just manually copy and paste the files.

I usually use windows media player, but you can use anything really. Itunes works and just copying from windows explorer works also. Hope that helps.

My apologies on my misunderstanding. iTunes seems to either be the software you love and can't do without or the source of all evil in the computing world. It appears that not many people are neutral about it. One thing I have noticed is that people who hate it don't like using it the way the designers intended (letting iTunes do all the backend organizing, filing, etc). If you have specific ways you want your files organized which differ from iTunes, you'll always be fightining with it. You might want to play around with some of the 3rd party options. I've heard good things about MediaMonkey and Anaphod (sp?). Best of luck.

Have you downloaded the program from there web site? After doing that it's pretty simple to do both, unless you have an apple, I had to use the girl friends PC.

It doesnt have its own program, you plug it in and let the device be installed to use like everything else, load up the program your recording onto, and work your magic.

What I have done, and this work very well for me. I use ITunes, but I don't use FLAC file, but rather AIFF. Additionally I downloaded Media Center 14 Media Jukebox, great program and it's free. I put ALL my AIFF file on a 1TB external drive.

Sorry unfortunately you will need to use iTunes. All Apple products require it. However you can just drag and drop within itunes to it... Good luck

I have a Mac with Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes and had no issues using this.

If you update to the latest version of the software, you won't need to bother with iTunes at all. Download it here: http://www.ionaudio.com/ezvc

Nope. It doesn't sync with iTunes. However, when you plug it into your PC or Mac it will show up as an external hard drive on your desktop. You can highlight music in your iTunes and then drag and drop them onto the X5. It doesn't take much time at all.

Yes it is very simple. Functions very much like PC. It has the same functions, keys to apply functions and applications vary a little but does the same thing. Free APPS are far superior on Apple.

No it doesn't come with the programs "tunes". You will have to register with Spartan and down load the tunes. It's pretty simple. The DashDaq comes with all the answers

No. This product is developed for a Windows environment. It works like a software (like Word). You will find the app on iTunes.

Plays Pandora and iTunes just fine. It wants to install it's own app that is.... eh. Not required. I took it off.
