Hi, this MP3, only take mp3 format, if you downloaded music from itunes make sure it is mp3 format only, once downloaded to your computer, then plug your mp3 into the usb of your pc, then drag and drop your music. I also had problems with this item, but I figure it out and finally made it work. Hope this help. thanks for asking

I can only give a guess because I dislike iTunes. I had it once on my computer and it took over everything. Possibly the program to play the songs on your mp3 have to be played through a program on your computer, provided by iTunes. I have loaded hundreds of songs off CD's and never had a problem. Can you make a CD from your iTunes on your computer, and then do a 'copy of that CD to your mp3?

I currently have them in folders, but it really does not matter. I had them just as files before, but works the same. I listen to my music in shuffle mode, and it shuffles the mp3s from different folders.

Did you put in a CD that was burned on a PC...? You may have tried playing a CD burned in MP3 format.

I just drag the music from my iTunes folder in music section from computer file. And drag it to the mo3player it's simple for me

I ripped the CDs using Windows Media Player, mostly in .mp3 format, to my "my Music folder". A folder with the CD title was created for each CD with the individual song as a file in that folder. I then copied the CD folder to the SDRAM and the player sorted it out and played the music. It will also accept a USB thumb drive, but the SDRAM takes up less phsical space.

I also have Itunes.. i had to do some fiddling around but i finally got it to first convert the songs into MP3 but then I had to manually add them on to the MP3 player

I just put songs on the mini disc. I do not know how to navigate on the mp3 to establish different playlists. Look on youtube and possibly there will be a how to video there?

My Sonawave plays music in the root of the drive, and also in a folder. If you still have trouble, just move your mp3 files to the root of the drive. By the way, it only plays MP3 type files. Good luck.

My computer (WIN 7) couldn't see this thing either. I don't think this MP3 player has any internal memory, which is why it doesn't show up under external drives. I uploaded music to a microSD, then inserted it into the MP3 player, and it worked fine. However, my overall feeling is that this MP3 player is a complete POS

itunes isn't compatible with most mp3 players...just ipod and a couple of others. I would suggest to download your music onto your player using windows media

I've converted my music files to mp3 format but they don't show on up in the file navigator. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?

Yes. I copied music files from my comp into the Mp3 player, using usb connection.

I don't entirely understand the question, but I'll give you my scenario. I have an old computer that was built in 2002, it has a 40 Gb hard drive that is partitioned, and it runs USB 1.1. I also have a new Dell Vista machine where my main iTunes library is stored, that is at a different location so networking isn't an option. I wanted to back up my music, and I wanted to play it on the old machine, so I bought one of these drives for that. Now I don't have to use 16 (or so, I think the actual capacity is 15.something Gb) Gb of space on that tiny hard drive, I can use the USB drive for all my music. It opened up the space on the old hard drive so I don't have to duplicate the music files there. ITunes reads just fine from the flash drive over USB 1.1; it took some work to copy all the files into iTunes from the flash drive though and get it all set up. As long as the drive letter stays the same, iTunes can find the music any time that flash drive is plugged in and play directly from it. I hope this helps.

Attach MP3 player to computer. It will scan for hard drive. When it finds it just drag and drop music files to folder on MP3 player.

All USB-A thumb drives have worked. Make sure they are formatted as FAT (mine are FAT32). Put one MP3 file on the drive, plug the drive into the box, switch the box input to USB and it should start playing automatically after it reads the contents of the drive. If you have a lot of songs/directories on the thumb drive, it can take a long time to read it.

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.
