Adding Music: How exactally does music get transfered over from your PC to the Clix?
1317805
There are two ways to get music on your Clix. 1) Using a media player like Windows Media Player, or MediaMonkey allows you various options on how to sync the pc with the player. You can drag and drop songs one at a time, by album, by playlist, etc. and then click "Start Sync". Or you can set the player to automatically sync whenever it's connected. You may run out of room that way, so there is also an option to shuffle the music when the space available on the Clix is less than the amount of songs. The media player also syncs pictures. 2) From the windows explorer, you can drag and drop files into the clix. It appears as a remote device, kind of like a camera, or cd drive. There is a menu tree (iriver clix, iriver clix files, Recordings, Saved Recordings). This is also the only way to transfer video files (iriver clix, iriver clix files, Video) and Flash Games. When you buy a song from Urge, it becomes part of your library, listed by Artist and Album. Then it can be sync'ed like any other song in your library. If you get a monthly subscription to Urge with unlimited downloads, they stop being playable when your subscription ends, so unless you pay by the song (.99), they will stop working. If you just want to download the 30 second previews, you can drag and drop them into the Sync section directly from the Urge store tab. If, while listening to the previews you want to purchase the song, you can right click and select "Buy" on the Clix. The next time you sync you have the option to purchase the song.

No Joan, you don't. I just transferred them over via the usb cord attached to my laptop and the mp3 player. It's very fast.

It is as simple as plug it into your computer via USB cable then drag and drop songs into the music folder, I have almost a gig of music on mine and not half used.... this is probably the best little MP3 player I've seen.

if you already have an app on your tablet for a music player...(I think it came with one installed)...then all you need to do is transfer the files if they are compatible files.

I use a program called isyncr to sync my music from iTunes. You can sync specific playlists.

Yes, I've. Taken songs off my cd's and are now on my itunes account. I tranfered my music to my computer then opened them to play in itunes, itunes does the rest and stores them in your itunes account

I got an email asking me to give an answer. I don't use any open architect OS - I use Windows. But, it would seem if you delete the files maybe if you empty trash they will go away? Or perhaps the music is stored in a different folder than the actual play list? I'm sorry, I don't know- haven't had that problem

Connect via usb to computer download your music from there I also downloaded sharebear which helped transfer music that I had in my amazon music cloud account make sure U have an Sd card placed within and if there is music on it prior it will get picked up. griffinyak@msn.com

No the software "software only transfers the program to your PC as a MP3. I strongly recommend that you use a Audio specific program like Sony Sound Forge. Within Sound you can record the music into your PC, and clean it up the music clip as much as possible. The software that came with the ION express is basically useless.

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.

There is instructions loaded out but music you add according to taste. I think there might have been some generic that I deleted off. Easy to upload from computer - plug in and click to transfer.

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.

Thanks for your advice. The flip side of the beauty of not being locked into iTunes sounds like I would have to purchase a whole new library though, if I was not able to transfer from iTunes. True? And how would I be able to transfer music off my CD's into a Sansa?

I simply connect it to my PC via the USB cable, and it appears as a drive in Windows Explorer. You can drag and drop .MP3's to the device in this manner. I agree with ChefBum, the interface on this unit is clunky, but I love what it's capable of. I may have to check out the GB-10 myself!

They provide software for you to create your own message with pre-licensed background music via a windows PC application. I'm a professional announcer and sell on-hold services, so if there IS anything on the original drive, we didn't use it anything which may be pre-loaded, nor did we use their software. Cannot answer that, sorry!

Nope, it couldn't be easier. When you plug the clip into your windows computer a menu pops up, one of the options is for transferring music, click on that, a folder opens like any folder in windows. In that folder there are several folders for music, audiobooks, etc. Copy your music into the folder and you are good to go. No need to use any program to do the transfer, its super easy.
