When the device is connected to the computer, or mac, it is recognized as external disk. If you have mp3 or wma files in your mac, you can copy into it. It will not sync with itune.

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

Yeah I have a mac and used it. If you want to be able to use it and switch between a mac and a pc, format it. Here's some directions. I did this because I gave this usb to someone full of music as a Christmas present. http://www.ehow.com/how_5795930_format-usb-drive-mac-pc.html

I installed it in a Gateway PC. You should probably read the specs at M-Audio site to know if it can install in and works with MAC systems. I have never owned a Mac so I wouldn't know. Mine works just fine in the Windows environment.

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!

Yes, I was able to use it on a Mac. I did have to go into USB and have it recognize it since it plugs in via USB not speaker like usual. The USB is supposed to give you more clarity. I have not used it enough to confirm that though. Good luck!

It is fully compatible with my Mac! Took it out of the box, plugged it it and burnt a dvd. No software, no complaints so far. OS X 10.8.2 2.44 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 gb ram

My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac. It would be easy to miss the Mac instructions -- 4 pages in the middle of a 23-page booklet, with all the rest devoted to PC -- but those pages covered everything in Mac-only detail. I bought mine a while ago, and the booklet (and the supplied Audacity program) are out of date. I can't tell you whether an updated manual and program are now included. I can tell you that I updated Audacity on line, for free, and that the settings are in different places than they were in the original version. Similarly, the Mac OS X preferences that you have to set look different than in my copy of the manual.

I have not tried it with a MAC yet, but their web sites says it is compatible. http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/slides-2-pc-express

Yes, as a matter of fact, I just started a new discussion on how to correct a few issues, and make it a lot more enjoyable with Mac. Check it out if you are having problems. It's (now) by far the easiest MP3 player I've ever used.

It worked with my MacBook Pro but I returned it due to issues I had with certain mp3 formats

Garth, the shipped software is a very early release of Audacity, and it DOES support Mac. Rather than use the disc, just dowload the latest release from www.audacity.org. You will need to download the llame.dll to get functionality to allow you to export projects as mp3's, but the audacity faqs around installation will give you everything you need to know. Best of luck.

I believe that the ad said that it was mp3 compatible. Unfortunately, the one that I ordered off from Ebay was a piece of junk as it didn't play my cds so, I sent it back and got myself an ipod player.

The device is recognized when hooked up to a Mac. The files are MP3 also recognized by Mac. Just drag the files to a different folder on your computer. You can import them with iTunes or other software.

It works with MAC (through USB). Plays all Apple Lossless files. Should support FLAC as long as there is a player/app in Mac that plays FLAC.

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and it worked perfectly to get old CD's and tapes into .mp3 format. Used Audacity - awesome!! Audacity looks bewildering at first, but is e-a-s-y to use.

I do not have a MAC. The software was for the Windows OS. You might contact Audacity to see if there is a download for MAC.
