I don't know that you can. Apple has their format to make sure the revenue stream keeps them on the map. M$oft has their Winmedia format for the same reason. Although, it is my understanding that both will play mp3s, so as long as it is in that format, it should be good on both?

Ok, so if I save my music in media player as an MP3 then I should be able to move it over to itunes?

I believe so.

Yep.. itunes likes mp3... that's the format you should have your music in anyway.. the other formats stink...

I think this should work, you should also be able to add .wav files to iTunes if you have concerns about loss of quality.

Ok, I changed them to MP3 files and still can't get them to go over So now, I'm doing it the long way but loading each cd again...

DO you have:

1. The correct folder selected as your default music folder?
2. The option for automatic ipod updates selected?

That's all I can think of... I only did it once so don't ask me how to do 1 & 2 above cause I can't remember.. It's in the dropdown menus somewhere... I used the help dropdown when I was setting mine up.. There's a pretty good tutorial in there that helped to get me started as I had no friggin' clue what I was doing....

this is why i bought a dell player.. figured it'd be easier from a dell computer..
