It's late, so I may be dense BUT, can I copy my Itunes library to a card and play it on this speaker? My kids want to sing in the shower!!!

Yes....but PULLEEEZE don't let them take it in the shower. This little player has enormous sound but I'm pretty sure it's not waterproof!

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

I never used iTunes but I did a quick google search and in a few forums, people discussed that it can play iTunes, but it won't sync with apple software. Apparently you'd have to just manually copy and paste the files.

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.

I had a similar experience - I believe it is because it does not read the Apple Audio file extension of .AAC , so in other words , you can't play anything loaded on a USB stick from iTunes. I believe the Windows music MP3 of .WAV will work-give it a try and let me know

Sorry unfortunately you will need to use iTunes. All Apple products require it. However you can just drag and drop within itunes to it... Good luck

I'm assuming you want to amplify your grandchildren's voices through this. If I'm right, I don't know if that will work unless you can save their voices on a micro SD card with a holder or maybe if you can connect the iPad to the speaker it might, I just don't know as I have never tried that. These are small wireless speakers to play back songs, sounds, etc. that have been saved to a micro SD card to play back through the speaker and some will pick up radio stations.

Just to clarify, music purchased from the iTunes Store will not work with this player. However, the iTunes software itself will probably work fine for managing a library of ripped music and other MP3's. (Just make sure and change iTunes' preferences to rip in a MP3 instead of AAC, if this player doesn't support AAC.) But the gift card isn't worth anything for this player.

iTunes will play WAV natively as well (my iTunes library is all junked up with voicemails in WAV format). For editing, the free program Audacity is excellent, in my opinion.

you CAN use your itunes card for your mp3. It will just take a little more effort. Once you purchase music on Itunes, burn it onto a regular audio disk, (one that will play in a stereo - not mp3), then reimport the disk into itunes as mp3 (see under itunes preferences, importing. Have fun with the tunes.

No, you cannot. You need an external/portable speaker(s)! I gave the wrong answer at first, but then I double-checked and realized you cannot! I'm sorry for the original misinformation!:)

I went back and re-read my originally reply. Sorry for the confusion, I don't know of a way to connect an iPad to the speaker system. I can connect an iPad (or any MP3 player) to the receiver that my speakers are connected to. Originally I wrote:"Yes, you can connect it (or any USB music player) to the USB port on the front and play locally stored or streamed music from there."

JW485, I tried what you are describing and everything in my existing music library played fine. I streamed over my 2006 Macbook Pro(802.11g). To set it up in Itunes go under edit &gt; preferences&gt; advanced and change the location to your external HD. The problem I had was with downloading new music. Itunes failed to authorize and completely download any newly purchased music, and it took a day of email exchanges with the Apple support to redownload the music. Ultimately, I changed the library location back to default to my local laptop HD so that I could purchase new music without the headache. I was a bit disappointed in the process considering the cost of the router and Apple's reputation.

hey waves, can you please tell me how you made out with the itunes? I have been trying to find out the same answer before I purchase this receiver. Will I be able to just play my itunes from my computer since it and the receiver will be on the same network? I really like this receiver, and do not need the airplay- as long as this other method of accessing my music is available.Thanks for any help you can give me.

I love this player, but I use the speakers. It has great sound. Maybe you could plug you earphones into the iPhone or iPod directly, but I've never done this. The new iPhone 5 has it's ear plug connector on the bottom, so I don't think you could use ear phones when the 5 is docked.

I've heard it is, but I just did it. I submitted an email to the apple support team and they sent me links addressing how to legally move your music library from one computer to another. Bottom line... It can be done. Don't let the rumors scare you out of purchasing an I-Pod.

This works witha micro sd card..so yes you can download and save it in your card and play it on your speaker:)
