Fuze 8gb compatible with Itunes? Can I use this mp3 player with Itunes?

no, you can't. Itunes only connects to ipods. You can use windows media player to sync with you fuze. another thing to keep in mind that if you got tracks with DRM from iTunes, they wont be able to trasfer to the Fuze unless you re-rip them to MP3 format.

Will it play MPEG 4 audio, because iTunes songs are in MPEG 4 audio, however in manual it says mentions AAC (.m4a)? Is the same please advice.

I assume you mean Mac and not Itunes. Songs can be loaded on the unit as you would copy any folders to an external drive. Most of your music is just on folders on a micro sd card, nothing special about that. There is a small amount of internal memory (8gb which is more than some ipods) that can be used for some music, although it is probably better to use this area just for system files and playlists. You can make playlists with a little juggling (I list steps in my review), but I would definitely not use Itunes with this unit. Firmware updates work by unzipping and copying a file to the unit, no problem using Mac for that. As far as actual compatibility with Mac, the only place it would matter is with the DAC driver. This is where you use the DX90 as an external DAC device and you are playing music from your computer directly through the DX90 to improve the sound quality. The driver appears to be PC only if you care about having that function.

iTunes works with .mp3 or .m4a(apple) media. You shouldn't have any problems... unless you're like me. I ripped a bunch of music from my own CDs with XP, and used Windows Media Player. They are all .wma format, and iTunes won't recognize them. I had to download a trial version of a media converting software product to convert my wma files to mp3. My fiance has an ipod and I use a creative labs MuVo, so we are trying to use mp3 as the common ground. (My MuVo plays wma and mp3)

A really good MP3 player that I have come across is the SanDisk Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 player. It is a little more expensive than most (I think new it's about $149.99, may be cheaper), however it lasted me about 7 years. It probably would have lasted me longer, except a friend borrowed it and left it in the rain. It is a pretty high quality player. Now on to the itunes issue. Itunes has basically made it so that you can't download music from them onto something that isn't apple, except a desktop computer. I received an itunes gift card once and did not own anything by apple. I downloaded itunes onto my computer easily and then bought a few songs. I did a lot of research and tried and tried to sinc the music onto my MP3 player, but nothing was working. Finally, I tried to download my songs onto a disc, which worked. Then I proceeded to upload that disc onto a different media player (Windows Media Player) on my computer that allowed me to download songs onto my MP3 player. All in all it was a very frustrating and difficult process. If you want to avoid the frustration of having to deal with itunes, I would just get an apple ipod, ipod touch, or something that apple allows itunes to download to. If you really want an MP3 player I would recommend the one I highlighted above.

I don't think that iTunes works very well with non-Ipod MP3 players. You can use the iTunes software for Windows to convert to MP3 format but from what I have read the sound quality is not too good. I found this website that provides a good tutorial on iTunes.www.dynamicwebs.com.au/tutorials/iTunes-help.htm I hope this helps.

I just bought the Fuze 8gb and couldn`t be happier! Easy to use and the sync process with a xp surprised me with it`s simplicity. Speed was fast and battery life is over 5 hrs. Downloaded 1006 songs in about 45 minutes. Still have 1.7gb available. Price was about $70. Love the FM radio. This was a steal. Highly Recommended.

I'm not sure, but I have this unit and the manual has a listing of "Compatible iPod and iPhone". Nothing about other MP3 players. The unit does have a AUX input for a 3.5 mm plug (1/8") stereo plug, so if you can get an audio cable from your MP3 player into the AUX jack, that should probably work. The AUX cable is not supplied with the unit.

Yes. In the web page read next: With capacities up to 16GB, the Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player can accommodate all your favorite songs, videos, and photos. And thanks to its microSDHC expansion slot, the MP3 player lets you expand its memory by up to 32GB with a SanDisk microSD or microSDHC card

No you cannot download directly from WM eight you have to transfer your files to iTunes and then transferred from iTunes to your MP3 player

I do not use iTunes, or Apple products, but this portable hard drive could easily be used to install anythinf from a dvd to your selected device. It might be batter if you would installyour music to your computer, then connect your device and download the music to your device. Then you can load your selection again at anytime easily.

It comes loaded with Audacity which has proven very dependable to me. It up loads to ITunes easily. as for as other software...? Other media players? Not exactly sure if I completely get your question. I have had no trouble with this unit and think its the greatest for the price.

I had a similar experience - I believe it is because it does not read the Apple Audio file extension of .AAC , so in other words , you can't play anything loaded on a USB stick from iTunes. I believe the Windows music MP3 of .WAV will work-give it a try and let me know

This player doesn't support shuffle and iTunes sync you have to covert iTunes to mp3. With Itunes you rent your music and it is protected. I believe that it will only work with non-protected music files, hence the MP3. I would suggest using a free iTunes to MP3 converter like Koyote or Fre:ac. This will solve your problem.

I am having problems getting songs to load from Windows Media to this card. Is there some sort of conversion needed to have this work in my Sansa Fuze?

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.
