Does this work on Windows and OS X for getting music onto it? Or do you put it on a micro sd card then put that in?

A micro sd card can be left in the unit. When plugged into your computer, internal memory will show as a drive and the card as another drive. This assumes you've set USB mode to MSC (mass storage) under settings&gt;system settings&gt;USB mode.

It connects to a PC like an external hard drive. I copy and paste music/podcast files to the player folders. I haven't used the micro SD function.

Hello Warren,I just tried it on my WIN7 computer and it worked. Plugged into USB, the computer found it and loaded drivers. I listened to music on the MP3 using Win7 and loaded music to it from the computer. No problem.

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

It works really well with Mac OS X - no issues, no special drivers. Just plug it in and it becomes one of the 'audio out' choices.

Don't know if it will help but I only have WMA files on my computer so I copied them onto mini SD and it plays greathad to copy/paste in the "Songs" mode it wouldn't work by way of Artist folder because you had to manually advance each artist while listening hope this helps good luck! it is an awesome little player holds a charge for a very long time and the sound is pretty amazing for being such a little dinky thing

I use the Creative software, some people don't like it, but it gets the job done and its very simple. You can also just drag and drop your music files into the Zen's hard drive, or you can use Windows Media Player or Media Monkey to both manage your music library and transfer the songs to your player.

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'm using it on a Mac. Do not have a PC or Windows but it supposed to work with Mac and PC. I'm sure it does work because it is converting USB to MIDI and MIDI to USB which is not proprietary for MAC or PC.

I went to ES File Manager and it shows up as USB Drive 1.1.1 Once connected, My Moto X found the music on it immediately and added the songs to my library. File transfer from phone to microSD works to, but is dependent on the file manager you use.

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

I downloaded my I tunes files to my Fiio's sd cards AIFF lossless via usb cable. The player works wih these files. Any further questions can be answered from the Fiio website.

So can you just drag your computer's MP3 files over to load them into your iPod? Or at least specify which files rather than getting the Winamp program and plugin?

I haven't tried it yet but the best answer I have seen is download music or whatever, to your SD card then put it in your tablet. As far as part 2 of the question I haven't researched that yet. I am getting my info by putting a question in my computer search engine then looking at results. wish I could be more help than this.

A USB to your computer. It works with your music files. I use Windows Media Player. When you plug it in it opens the program and you drag songs onto the sync list, then click sync, and in a few seconds the music is loaded.

Agreed, which is it, "yes" or "no"? The description says it works with Mac, though one must also DL Audacity, which is a free APP.
