Not True! You don't have to use iTunes. I used to use Winamp with the iPod plug-in. A bonus, Winamp and the plug-in are free! I would recommend iTunes for uploading though, it's easier to use than other programs and will also rip CD's that you own.

Yes, you don't HAVE to buy on iTunes, but you will have to use iTunes to upload these songs to the iPod.

Yes, any mp3 can be put on the iPod line, you use iTunes fir the connection to the iPod, iTunes will also let you buy music from the apple owned iTunes store but you need nit do that if you already have the cd, it will put the songs in iTunes and then let you add to an iPod.

you CAN use your itunes card for your mp3. It will just take a little more effort. Once you purchase music on Itunes, burn it onto a regular audio disk, (one that will play in a stereo - not mp3), then reimport the disk into itunes as mp3 (see under itunes preferences, importing. Have fun with the tunes.

Actually, you can put any mp3 bought on iTunes anywhere. There are programs to convert them to non-secure iTunes songs, and then you can right click &gt; convert to mp3. Then drag it to your desktop, and you're ready to put it on your iriver Clix. Try Google-ing "itunes secure to nonsecure converter" (without the quotes).

shouldn't be a problem..... however, you will need to install iTunes in your computer first .... then you can just sync your music (iTunes library) into your iPod

Once you have Plex on your PC, do you have to drag all your itunes movies to Plex? Or does Plex automatically retrieves all its movies from the PC, including itunes? Thanks for your help.

if you can take the itunes music out of itunes, i think it is can use, HM700 also can use the flac, but maybe a quiet slow when you have so many songs.( *̀ ω *́ ) i use this for a time , i think it is a good things.

I've already set up an itunes account and downloaded some stuff. This is my first ipod. I'm very excited!

Yes ITunes is a seperate download on your PC. It's free to download but you don't have to use it to put songs on your device. You can simply download from a music sharing site like Mp3 Rocket and all of it is free.

This does not work with itunes. Actually NOTHING accept Ipods will work with Itunes without some hacking. Music isn't "in" itunes it's on your computer. If you have Win XP and your music is in mp3 and not Apple's aac then you can use this player. You can either use creatives included transfering software or windows media player 10 or 11.

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.

Don't know if you "have to" use iTunes. I did because it's where all my music is located.

The app is on your screen and when you activate it it brings up iTunes. I use Windows 7, however I have never purchased anything this way. I have an iTunes account and all my music/podcasts/etc are on my PC in iTunes and I periodically backup my iPod 3rd gen by a cable

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

"I use the itunes store to download FREE video and audio PODCASTS. I dont buy my music from itunes because if something happens to my computer, I'm afraid I'll lose all those tunes I bought."You can back up your songs from iTunes on a disc.

itunes isn't compatible with most mp3 players...just ipod and a couple of others. I would suggest to download your music onto your player using windows media

I was reading a review for this product and it said that it does play itunes music. Just wondering because I've had enough with my third broken iPod, but I don't want to buy something that won't play the 500+ songs I've purchased on iTunes.
