I agree with the statement that MP3's are horrible. I've tried to convert. Just doesn't happen. What I have found is that music meant for CD, sounds better to me on CD. Music initially recorded on vinyl sounds better to me on vinyl. I kept my records. But I do have an extensive CD collection. I find Vinyl at charity shops and second hand shops for as little as $.25. When buying old records, remember to look for warping, scratches, dirty patches--which may cover hidden damage--, crayon drawings (who hasn't seen this?). In other words look them over carefully.

I had this same problem with some music files and found a free mp3 converter program to convert wma to mp3 format. Worked just fine after the conversion.

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

When you convert to MP3 there is always sound quality issues. The turntable is a low end but good value turntable.

nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player

I've converted a few selections from my records over to mp3's, and overall they're pretty good, but really the quality depends on what settings you input into the software that comes with the turntable. It's really easy to use, but if you choose to eliminate the surface noise (such as the pops and clicks), the sound can be deadened somewhat, so I just choose to do a straight, no-frills conversion most of the time. However, the quality/cleanliness of the record also has a part to play, a good clean record produces a good, clean sound.

Yes, I encountered the same issue. The best solution is to import the file into Audacity (free software) and then apply amplification. I usually added some EQ too because they sound too thin. Of course, if you are a purist, you would like to avoid this last step. As I mentioned in my review, mp3 recording here is a good idea but the technology used needs some tweecking. I hope this helpful.

You should be able to...mp3 files generally transfer into my itunes library but I haven't actually tried it yet. I was planning on downloading the software today and giving it a try so I will give a definite answer later.

The songs are files that (zips) that have to be converted. That' the difficult part. Converting them after you've loaded them to disk. That's where I never could get any support. Good luck.

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?

Good Afternoon,I would have to assume it does so since it says it reads MP3.Thank you.

It did that with my .wma files, but not the .mp3 files. It's supposed to be .wma compatible, but it's not.

Yes, you have to have transcription software, but there is free software and so far all the ones I've used work just fine for mp3 files.

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).

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!
