One of the reviewers says it does not work with the latest version of iTunes. Is this true? I have iTunes 11.1.3

The output from Ion Tape Express (ITE) is in WAV file format. iTunes recognizes and will play WAV files, but if you're having trouble just convert the WAV files to MP3. I suspect the reviewer might expect the ITE device to be recognized by iTunes, like an external drive or something. Naturally ITE will not, nor would I expect it to. Apple would have to write a special driver to do that, and I'd be very surprised if they ventured out in that direction. To get music from ITE to iTunes, use ITE to get the music from the tape to your hard drive. After the music is on the HD, import it into iTunes.

Andrew 4549. I haven't even gotton that far. I was able to dl the software down. However, the tape player itself was a lemon. Sorry, can't help you there.

It probably does not. When I updated my ITunes, the software no longer worked. I use Audacity to finish the recordings. That was months ago, so Ion Audio has still not updated? I would certainly go to their site and find out.

I have not had a problem with it downloading anything into I tunes ? Ihave the latest version. I have downloaded pre recorded music that is 20+ yrs old and it worked fine.

I used this product as recently as 11/07/2013 and didn't have any problems importing it into iTunes. I am running Windows Vista 64-bit edition. The product also comes with a link to a newer version of the software for people running Windows 7, which can be located by following the link on the leaflet or doing a google search for Ion Audio.

I just dragged my iTunes music directory over and it read and played the music. The only thing I found was it didn't recognize the play lists

This product is designed to work only with iTunes and Apple iOS devices. If you can get the music to go through iTunes, it will work.

I use this mainly with Keynote & iTunes. Works fine for me in Yosemite 10.10.2

I think itunes only works on apple products. But am not sure. I can play all my music files on it.It's pretty much like a laptop PC. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I'm not sure if this will sync with iTunes. I've never used iTunes because I don't own any Apple products. That's the main reason I bought this, because I didn't want an iPod.

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'm not. It works well. They recently updated the firmware on all of the units, as well as the software for the desktop application on Macintosh. My app version is 4.0.18.6104. On my Bose SoundTouch 20 it is 4.0.14.14122. My iTunes library is in the standard location. The latest update includes streaming from some NAS devices, so you can stream music without the computer being on. So I guess I'd try to make sure everything is up to date first.

You should be able to...mp3 files generally transfer into my itunes library but I haven't actually tried it yet. I was planning on downloading the software today and giving it a try so I will give a definite answer later.

yes it would not import to iTunes - I had to look for songs under recent downloads then drag to iTunes and if your cassette was old and warped it will sound like that warped - and for the price it was not worth but maybe 20 bucks and that is what I sold it for a week after I got it.

I don't use itunes; just loaded it with mp3 files from my computer. I'm not a big apple fan....sorry.

Well, I'm 5 months now with two SansaClip players. Dragging mp3 files into both of them from two different Macs, two versions of the operating system: 10.3 and 10.4. It's has worked for me, no problems. One player was left out in hard rain for two nights and I couldn't believe, it still works. I've loaded and unloaded songs on these players numerous times. Never did anything special, just drag-n-drop mp3s into the music folder. Sorry it hasn't worked so easily for others.

Yes - I just synced my iPhone 5 (updated to IOS 7) using the latest iTunes (11.1 - the version for IOS 7).

I don't know. I would ask iTunes support. They are really good about responding to questions.

You can't sync with Itunes. Itunes only syncs with IOS devices. You can use Itunes to convert your music to MP3 and copy it to this player. Barry
