Can iPod play any mp3 file or just from iTunes? I record my own songs and want to put them on the iPod. Will that work?

I have used other programs to find music and then I tell itunes to add that folder to it's library. Then itunes simply converts whatever music files it is "allowed" to convert into it's own format so it can be used by the ipod. I've only had a few music files that could not be converted for whatever reason, copyright protection I suppose.

Yes, any mp3 can be put on the iPod line, you use iTunes fir the connection to the iPod, iTunes will also let you buy music from the apple owned iTunes store but you need nit do that if you already have the cd, it will put the songs in iTunes and then let you add to an iPod.

You can, and with anything you can't the work around is to burn that to a cd, and then import it into Itunes. I have successfully even converted a video from youtube into an mp4 format, and then import that into Itunes.

I also have Itunes.. i had to do some fiddling around but i finally got it to first convert the songs into MP3 but then I had to manually add them on to the MP3 player

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

itunes isn't compatible with most mp3 players...just ipod and a couple of others. I would suggest to download your music onto your player using windows media

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

Yes you can use it on your ipod. The Mic cord will still be hanging there, but OT plays from the ipod just fine.

In order to play a MP3 you need some type of program to play them, examples are itunes, windows media player etc

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes. If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

Your iTunes songs should be stored in a folder on your computer. Those files are aac and unfortunately cannoy be played on the hm-700. They can be easily converted to mp3 and then put on the device. I use foobar2000 to play and convert all of music files.

I don't use itunes, so I can't answer specifically to that standard. However, if you can get the itunes into the "mp3" format I'm pretty sure this player would play them well. There is even some capability in the SANSA software that will convert. I have a number of these players and I've given them to my kids and my wife. Everyone likes them, though my kids are using their phones more for players now.

This does not work with itunes. Actually NOTHING accept Ipods will work with Itunes without some hacking. Music isn't "in" itunes it's on your computer. If you have Win XP and your music is in mp3 and not Apple's aac then you can use this player. You can either use creatives included transfering software or windows media player 10 or 11.

Yes, when I'm not charging the iPod with The docking station I play it through the auxiliary line in. so therefore I would imagine that the line in plays any mp3 player..

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.

Actually, you can put any mp3 bought on iTunes anywhere. There are programs to convert them to non-secure iTunes songs, and then you can right click &gt; convert to mp3. Then drag it to your desktop, and you're ready to put it on your iriver Clix. Try Google-ing "itunes secure to nonsecure converter" (without the quotes).

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

It is possible, but was rather complex in the past. However, now that iTunes has switched to DRM tracks (the music is not copy-protected so you can listen to it on different devices), I think that it should be possible. If you have mp3 files, they will work - just drag & drop. However, it will be easier to use an ipod with itunes. The whole beauty of the Sansa players is that you're not locked into using itunes, one computer, etc.

As far as I know it should play mp3. I have only ran into a problem when I used a non-ipod device for portable player. There are many free programs available that will convert the different types of MP formats.
