Linux. Can I copy songs into the hifiman memory? or do i need to use an intermediary program like Itunes to Ipod? Can I drag and drop music files?

There have been a few occasions when I have put a few Flac files into the unit and I had an error: unsupported file format, I then checked the files in Audacity and found that the ones that did not work had a Hz rate way above the recommended 44100Hz 16 bit requirements for the unit. So if your files don't fit those requirements they won't work. I have had this problem only a few times...usually the files that don't work are double the size of the ones that do. Have you tried Mp3's on the unit...if they don't work you've got a problem. When you open the unit on your screen you should see a file called Music...that's the one to open and drag your files into. Hope this helps.

Can't say about the Linux platform as I don't use one. I can promise you will not need an intermediary program as "I" programs are for "i" devices only. Drag & drop is a snap.Hope that helps

You don't need an intermediary program...one of the many attractions of this unit, you plug it into the USB slot on your computer then drag and drop...best to use Flac files, they sound awesome.

Unfortunately I have never used this feature, but I can offer some advice: rip the music into a 24-bit codec with the highest sample rate you can. (i.e, not MP3)

Yes you can. I have this model and I use a 64gb thumb drive for all my music. Works like a charm. Also can plug in an iPhone/iPod via USB for same results.

For iTunes music to play, you need an application to drive it. Since the USB drive doesn't have an OS, I don't see how you can do that. Personally I use an iPod instead just for this.

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.

I've never done it that way but Yes you should be able to. At worst you would make a track as you listen, then you could save or delete. I/ve copied most of my vinyl and burned to CD as well as having a copy on my computer. Audacity works well (free)

Hi, there! So, i have used .mp3, .wma and wav with usb pendrive and .aac with aux cable form ipod. Best Regards

Yes, I've moved iTunes mp3 files with it. You need to find the computer path where files are stored and move from there--not directly from iTunes interface. Don't remember how good this worked for keeping albums together...

When you plug it in your computer it is like an external hard drive, you just drag and drop you mp3 files. You can you their free app too, but only works in windows, no Mac support. Cheers

I assume you mean Mac and not Itunes. Songs can be loaded on the unit as you would copy any folders to an external drive. Most of your music is just on folders on a micro sd card, nothing special about that. There is a small amount of internal memory (8gb which is more than some ipods) that can be used for some music, although it is probably better to use this area just for system files and playlists. You can make playlists with a little juggling (I list steps in my review), but I would definitely not use Itunes with this unit. Firmware updates work by unzipping and copying a file to the unit, no problem using Mac for that. As far as actual compatibility with Mac, the only place it would matter is with the DAC driver. This is where you use the DX90 as an external DAC device and you are playing music from your computer directly through the DX90 to improve the sound quality. The driver appears to be PC only if you care about having that function.

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.

You should be able to drag and drop or copy the music files from your computer, into your itunes library, as long as you are using the same computer for your itunes library that you have your music files saved on.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I still have space on the original device and have literally 1,000's of songs.

no - sorry - to need to use senuti to move the music from the iPad to a computer and then itunes to move the music from the computer to the nano

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.

You can do it but alias with iTunes... You have to out a tick in the box where it is written to put manually the songs

Try to update your computer to USB 2.0 if you can. iPods transfer music files at 60MB per second, but can only transfer at 1.5MB per second if you don't have USB 2.0.
