Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

no, just make sure you leave the song in your itunes playlist (and stop it deleting automatically in your options settings).it will have a little exclamation point next to it but as long as you dont actually delete it from the playlist it wont delete it from your ipod. I dont have space to hold all the music on my ipod on my pc so i did exactly this.

You must connect to a computer via usb (either Mac or Windows) to manage your music files. Once connected, you can use any file manager program to add/delete entire folders (such as all the albums by a particular artist) or specific (song) files. Before disconnecting from the computer be sure to "eject' or disconnect the device prior to pulling the USB cable. Using a computer makes it very simple to manage all your content.

How ever you can drop and drag your music. I buy tunes from amazon then export them to windows where I can sync the Sandisk and drag the music I want to it.

Hi Download songs from your PC/laptop etc.or where ever you can to your usbstick/pen drive. Its not vital but the most important thing is the USB stick or Pen drive must be a 2GB one, not more than that. Otherwise it won't work on this system.Thanks.Ajay

When you plug the mp3 player into a usb port, the pc should bring up a window showing all the files on the mp3 player. It is treated like a disk drive and will look similar to when you plug a flash device into a usb port. You can then copy your mp3 files from your computer to the folder that comes up that represents your MP3 player by right clicking an mp3 file and choosing copy and then right clicking your mp3 player and choosing paste. Its that simple. However, I have never messed with creating folders on mine and I doubt that it is a supported function of the player but I suppose you could experiment with that.

You store files in the small built in storage in the device or on Micro SD cards, so you can pull the files from wherever they are stored. You don't sync this device like an iPod. Media Monkey should not interfere at all with using this device.

You can delete the song or songs one by one without hooking it up to the computer. I only hooked it to the computer when I was downloading the songs to the mp3 player. You have to have allot of patience with this player. I bought it for my son.

I assume that you've downloaded in iTunes. In that case, simply delete the song in iTunes, then the song will be deleted from your iPod the next time that you sync it.

No, the iPod/USB port reads only from a connected iPod or from a connected USB device, but not from a PC or hard drive (HDD). Here is the information from the changer's manual: &#9632;Supported iPod models *iPod classic (including 120GB model) *iPod nano (2nd, 3rd and 4th generations) *iPod touch (1st and 2nd generations) (as of April 2009) &#9632;Supported USB devices This unit supports USB mass storage class devices (e.g., flash memories, card readers or portable audio players) that use FAT16 or FAT32 format. * Some devices may not work properly even if they meet the requirements. * This unit does not support encrypted USB memory devices. * Do not connect devices other than USB mass storage class devices: USB chargers, USB hubs, PCs, external HDD, etc. * When you insert two or more memory cards at the same time into a card reader connected to the iPod/USB port on this unit, only one of the memory cards is recognized. * Yamaha and suppliers accepts no liability for the loss of data saved on the USB devices connected to this unit. As a precaution, it is recommended that the files are made backup copies. * Playability of and power supply to all kinds of USB devices are not guaranteed.

Absolutely. I leave my iPod in for weeks/months at a time. In fact, the only time I take it out is to connect it to my PC to load new songs.

Ummm The usb port is to accept songs from a jumpdrive (USB Stick) not from an ipod. It is not like a usb port on your computer. it is just a simple interface for reading memory sticks. It does not have the power capabilities for charging. If you search jump drive on amazon you will see the device the usb hole is for. again its not like a usb port on your computer... this one is limited... if you want to use it with your ipod you are limited to using the phono cable (headphone jack) and plugging it in that way. Then it only sends the music and all playlist and song controls are done by your ipod. (if you want to skip a song. use the ipod controls to do it... not the FM transmitter).

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I've had trouble with my 20 GB iPod freezing up during running as well; when I called Tech Support, they told me that the problem was that the hard drive has a limited skip protection capability (+/- 20 minutes). Essentially, once I exceeded that buffer, the machine would shut down to protect the hard drive. I switched to the Shuffle and have had absolutely no trouble running with it (even used it on my first marathon!), once I got a neoprene cover to protect it from sweat. The Nano is flash-based like the Shuffle, rather than hard drive-based like the iPod, so it should be fine (though I haven't personally tested it yet).

Don't need a computer....it rips by itself...but you need a computer, ipad, app to access the songs....main advantage is it rips fast, stores music in higher quality than mp3 format....won't use up a ton of memory on your computer as songs will be on different device

Hi, this MP3, only take mp3 format, if you downloaded music from itunes make sure it is mp3 format only, once downloaded to your computer, then plug your mp3 into the usb of your pc, then drag and drop your music. I also had problems with this item, but I figure it out and finally made it work. Hope this help. thanks for asking

You have to compare de part where you connect the HardDrive to the Ipod. Is in the upper part of the photo the black part in the center. Hope It helps.

If you want to put together a playlist, what I do is a look in the device itself for each song I want to add to the playlist and then I press the bottom part of the control pad and then press the second option option there: "Add to playlist," and then press the center pad and that's it. Not difficult at all! I couldn't find a way to do it in the computer and then transfer it to the mp3. Good luck!
