Adding music from an iTunes library Can I load my library of music from iTunes to the Fuze? I've downloaded a lot of music into iTunes because it is easy and friendly. Now looking at the Fuze I'm concerned that I may have to rip all that music over again into Windows Media. Is there any way to put music into Fuze from iTunes?

Thank you for your wonderful and detailed reply. iTunes is a mp4 format and not compatable with mp3 and dragging an iTunes into Windows Media Player crashes the program. However since I posted this, I found a free conversion program at mediacoderhq.com. You have to get into the program but converting mp4 (iTunes) format to mp3 is easy. I was able to save the information from the previous iTunes format. However, all new discs that are being added to the Windows library is strictly going directly into WMP. That way I'm able to get the art work, organize the files and so on. Thanks for your help.

In Itunes, right mouse button on the thing you want to copy and view it in windows explorer. Then select it (and maybe others in the same directory and copy, then select your fuze music directory and paste.

I tried this today and it worked! I'm glad for the simple yet effective way to get around the iTunes situation. Thank you!

I am not as computer literate as I should be: I can right click and but can you be more specific about how to view it in windows explorer. Kinda for dummies. It would really help me..Thank You

es open your door, put In the CD and once you have your Intunes account set up It open Itunes and ask you "DO YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE DISK" Well If you want the entire CD In your Itunes say yes. IF NOT and want a single or 2 off the cd? Say no , then slide just the tracks you want Into where It says "Music" on the top left on the Itunes page. And you only use space for the tracks you really want In there. Itunes Is VERY user friendly.

Just remember with Limewire, you have to download things via limewire and them import them into iTunes. So you will have two copies of these songs on your disk. Also, you can set up all the limewire songs to go to a specific folder and have iTunes monitor that folder. Then when iTunes starts up, it will automatically ask you if you want to import those songs or do it automatically.Limewire has a strange new setup where they charge you $25 for unlimited "legal" downloads. I'm not sure how this differs from regular limewire where people are downloading all the time for free. I guess if you believe them, they claim to pay royalties on the tracks you download and give you priority in terms of bandwidth.

Yes. You can download from iTunes or use your computer's media player. I use the media player more to add music from CD's.

Jess, This task is a slam dunk with Fuze. I barely know how to run my computer, but transfering my playlists was instantly easy. Buy it. bill

I use PC and Windows and Ubuntu so I do not know that music files from itunes library can be stored or not.But as it is a storing device for any type of file so my guess is that it should.

Well, to answer your question very directly, no, you don't necessarily need iTunes to add music to your iPod; there are many alternative ways of doing so, for example, the iPod plugin for Winamp. I hate iTunes and its invasive memory footprint, so this is how I did it when I actually used my iPod. Although, your question seems to assume that iTunes would force you to buy music in order to put it on your iPod. You can still use iTunes and use it to load all of the hundreds of CDs you've already pirated. :D It gives you the option to purchase things from the iTunes store, but I don't see any point in doing so; if I'm paying for music, I want something tangible, not crappy 128kbps AAC files. And of course, I've pirated a lot more music than you have, but please try your best to heed the digital pirates' honor code and purchase any music that you find you really like. I have tens of thousands of MP3s, and I listen to maybe a few hundred of them on a regular basis. These are the albums that I have bothered to purchase, and I can say I never would have found them had I not pirated them first.

If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works. No need for special tools. But, consider exporting your important playlists to the XML format (under File maybe on windows? not sure). that way when you move things you can re-import them and not lose anything.There is a technote on Apple's site about moving windows itunes files around.(trimmed because it's huge) http://tr.im/m4AkMore info there if you search for (moving iTunes files on Windows computers)Also, before you do the copy, be sure to deregister the old PC. It's under the Advanced menu I think. Otherwise it'll take up one of your 5 registrations for any DRM music you still have. If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works.

Yes, you can add iTunes music but you don't do it through iTunes, you do it through the operating system (ie, Windows). The SweetPea3 acts just like a flash drive and so you just use either Windows Explorer or by clicking on the Start menu and then Computer to copy the songs from the music folder (the songs are embedded in the folders usually through Music, iTunes, iTunes Music, Music) onto the SweetPea. As for the slight delay when you push a button, that is just one annoyance that you have to deal with. It really isn't a big deal for my 3 year old - she has just learned that when you push a button you have to wait a few seconds before it responds. The benefits for us have been worth having that annoyance though - she loves her "ipod" :-)

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

Mateo, there was no need to purchase additional software: iTunes will do the conversion for you if you try to add WMA files (this is a Windows only feature, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301509) When you initially install iTunes, it will ask you if you want to scan the computer for music; if you do, it will offer you to convert all your WMA files as well. The format it converts to is based on your import settings. Note that DRM-crippled files cannot be converted.

The output from Ion Tape Express (ITE) is in WAV file format. iTunes recognizes and will play WAV files, but if you're having trouble just convert the WAV files to MP3. I suspect the reviewer might expect the ITE device to be recognized by iTunes, like an external drive or something. Naturally ITE will not, nor would I expect it to. Apple would have to write a special driver to do that, and I'd be very surprised if they ventured out in that direction.To get music from ITE to iTunes, use ITE to get the music from the tape to your hard drive. After the music is on the HD, import it into iTunes.

This device is an Apple product, so you will need to use iTunes to put music on the iPod. You can, however, download music from those other places to iTunes then get it on the iPod that way.-Underwater Audio Customer Service

you can't. All you can do is skip song by song, typical Apple. If you like loading your Sandisk you'll hate iTunes for sure. It's hard to just load songs by selecting them randomly. I have 25gb of music so I can't sync my 2gb ipod with iTunes - I just get the first 2gb.

I use a program called isyncr to sync my music from iTunes. You can sync specific playlists.
