it is only Mac compatible in that you can plug it in to your Mac, and it will show up as an external hard drive, like any other USB device. However, you can't get online and unlock the special items on Barbie.com, since it requires Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, both of which are not available for the Mac. If you have an Intel mac with Windows and Boot Camp, it might be another matter... Wish I'd known this before I purchased it for my little girl for Christmas- we own 5 macs and not a single PC, and she was sorely disappointed to tears when she found out it couldn't interface with the Barbie Website...

I am sorry I am a PC not a MAC But if you call Roland they can tell you the correct version that does run on the MAC. I know the one I have has a MAC installer but with your version I would hate to say yes and be wrong and have you pay for something you cannot use. CAGMisfits

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

I don't have a mac but did have the same problem. Go into itunes. Under "edit", click preferences, then "general", then "import settings", then you'll see the first subtitle "import using", Choose "MP3 encoder" from the options in that subtitle. THEN you can right click (or whatever you do with a mac) a song or group of songs and you should see the option "convert to MP3". Clicking that will create another copy of the selected song which you can then copy and transfer to your earphones when you connect them to the Mac... it's a pain and annoying, and definitely should not have to be so hard (I sent back my first pair because I thought they were defective) but I really like being able to swim an listen to music. If you are still having troube, google "converting itunes songs to MP3". Good luck!

I would also like to know if this works on a Mac. In general, I am finding that it is possible to buy electronic items on Amazon that are completely incompatible with OSX and no where do you even see that mentioned. A simple "System Requirement" category would suffice.

Yes, I have a mac and I've been using it for some time now. It works great. Mary Jo Krysinski

No it is not compatible with any Mac products. Requires software loaded on a PC to use.

Yes it's Mac compatible. I have a MacBook Pro, using Snow Leopard, and I've plugged mine in on two occasions: When I first got my player (July 26, 2009), and another time later that day, after my 1 hr swim. Both times it appeared on my desktop, shortly after a small delay. Does not appear on iTunes, so in order to load songs, you have to drag and drop files, which is pretty simple to do. Note though, make sure you have it screwed into the head jack all the way, to the point where it won't turn anymore. Hope this helps.

I'm on a Mac so no. However, Peachtree support was great when I had a question. The DAC offers such amazing sound for the price so any short-lived driver hurdles would be worth it.

Yes, this item is compatible with Mac. You just need to install the software and it will convert your cassette music into your Mac.

Just plug the thing into your PC (I have no experience using it w/ a Mac) and it will appear as an new drive - perhaps the E drive or F drive. Then simply drag and drop music files to that drive. Good Luck

Gary, I gave the turntable to someone as a Chrsitmas gift, so I'm sorry that I am unable to specifically answer your question. I recommend you contact the manufacturer's customer support department for more information regarding interfacing it to a Mac. I can report to you that the person I gave it to absolutely loved it, and has since moved out of state, so is not readily available to question about his experience. I can tell you that my own personal experience with Mac's is that their "plug and play" designs are excellent, requiring little or no user technical expertise.

Using it on my Mac Mini with Mavericks and the latest version of Audacity. Works great. Get the software from http://audacity.sourceforge.net. It's open source; no charge.

I'm wondering if they meant "not MAC compatible" - maybe the "c" got dropped - just a thought. OR, possibly it's safe for the kids - just not the MA's. Ha-ha!
