Adding music from an iTunes library Can I load my library of music from iTunes to the Fuze? I've downloaded a lot of music into iTunes because it is easy and friendly.

Thank you for your wonderful and detailed reply. iTunes is a mp4 format and not compatable with mp3 and dragging an iTunes into Windows Media Player crashes the program. However since I posted this, I found a free conversion program at mediacoderhq.com. You have to get into the program but converting mp4 (iTunes) format to mp3 is easy. I was able to save the information from the previous iTunes format. However, all new discs that are being added to the Windows library is strictly going directly into WMP. That way I'm able to get the art work, organize the files and so on. Thanks for your help.

In Itunes, right mouse button on the thing you want to copy and view it in windows explorer. Then select it (and maybe others in the same directory and copy, then select your fuze music directory and paste.

I tried this today and it worked! I'm glad for the simple yet effective way to get around the iTunes situation. Thank you!

I am not as computer literate as I should be: I can right click and but can you be more specific about how to view it in windows explorer. Kinda for dummies. It would really help me..Thank You

The latest version of itunes requires a more up to date software so you will not be able to dwn load the latest itunes. You can find older versions but the problem u will encounter is that a lot of the songs as well as overall functionality of the current itunes might not be compatible for certain things. Maybe some tech person can suggest a way around cuz I couldn't find one.

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

If you're using iTunes just plug the iPod in and load the CD and it'll ask you if you want to import the CD click on the button that says yes it will import the CD into your iPod music online and also loaded into your iTunes music library I hope this helps

Depends on what songs you're talking about: a. If you're talking about the songs you bought from itunes store, you need to burn to cds and import them. Blame it on apple's DRM. b. If you're talking about songs you already had (mp3s which you ripped from your own cds, etc), you just drag and drop that folder in to the zune software. No cd burning necessary.

The music actually records directly to your windows media player, or whatever program you have set as your default media player... It's actually easier that way than using iTunes.

If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works. No need for special tools. But, consider exporting your important playlists to the XML format (under File maybe on windows? not sure). that way when you move things you can re-import them and not lose anything.There is a technote on Apple's site about moving windows itunes files around.(trimmed because it's huge) http://tr.im/m4AkMore info there if you search for (moving iTunes files on Windows computers)Also, before you do the copy, be sure to deregister the old PC. It's under the Advanced menu I think. Otherwise it'll take up one of your 5 registrations for any DRM music you still have. If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works.

Actually yes you can. I bought two for my daughters and anywhere including itunes that they find music the download without a problem.I don't know the technical differences besides brand name. However, the sound quality is good, also has files that can be stored so you can add more music.

I'm not entirely sure, I primarily store jpeg images on it. I know as long as the music files are standard MP3 (this standard format can play in any device). You may want to check with Apple "Genius" in store or online to get definitive answer (especially enquire what exactly format of files iTunes are). I hope this helps.

Yes, I am able to transfer data (music) from my computer to my Fuze using this cable. I don't remember if I had to download software from Sansa to facilitate the transfer. If you do not have a Fuze MP3 player, it may not work.

No, you will not be able to sync this player directly with iTunes. There are two options for loading the Clix2 with music: the included synchronization software or the drag and drop method. Although as a word of caution, I don't believe ID tag organization will work if you use drag and drop (although drag and drop is great for easily loading pictures and videos). You're better off in this case using the included software to sync.Oh, and you won't be able to play protected songs purchased from iTunes. But all regular MP3s will play no problem (i.e., tracks you might have ripped from a CD). No, you will not be able to sync this player directly with iTunes.

Actually, the itunes software will convert Windows Media (.wma) files into a file type (usually .aac I think) that can be used on ipods. This is done when you select files to import into your itunes library. itunes will show a pop up window stating that some file types need to be converted to use in itunes and it will convert them automatically. However, the catch to this is that itunes will not convert protected wma files; which would be files that you purchased from a music service.

Just remember with Limewire, you have to download things via limewire and them import them into iTunes. So you will have two copies of these songs on your disk. Also, you can set up all the limewire songs to go to a specific folder and have iTunes monitor that folder. Then when iTunes starts up, it will automatically ask you if you want to import those songs or do it automatically.Limewire has a strange new setup where they charge you $25 for unlimited "legal" downloads. I'm not sure how this differs from regular limewire where people are downloading all the time for free. I guess if you believe them, they claim to pay royalties on the tracks you download and give you priority in terms of bandwidth.

Yes, you do. Once it is entered into iTunes, it stays. Sometimes iTunes will even add the album art, but not if the songs are not already in their library.
