That's a long way round of doing it....and due to Apple protection may not be possible....anyway u just need to buy a mini FM transmitter to put in the headphone jack of the Ipod and tune the radio to its frequency and hey presto....

You can put your music on a USB stick. You PAID for it. Everything you download onto your computer is stored somewhere.

If you are using Windows, go to your Music folder in your library. There you will see an "Itunes" folder. Click on it and you will see an "Itunes Media" folder. Click on that and you should see a "Music" folder. Click on tha and you will see all of your music. Drag whatever you want to your stick.

I think that's what you're asking.

^ i think itunes has a funny way of showing him to do this. make the files smaller if you don't have enough memory to have a bunch of songs you skip over.

ZK 's correct, those files have to be converted to mp3

You could put those files on a USB and convert them mp3 into a different folder on your USB stick, th is of you use a PC. DVDVideoSoft website. Even if you have a Mac you can put your music on a stick get a PC with the software I mentioned to convert your music.

In iTunes, go to Preferences > General > Import settings (my iTunes is totally in Spanish but you get the gist) and set it to mp3 in whichever bitrate you prefer. Then, select the songs that you wish to convert, right-click them and select "Make mp3 version". Wait for iTunes to finish encoding and then go back to the Preferences window, click on Advanced settings and you should be able to see the location of your iTunes media folder in your filesystem. If you navigate to that path, you should be able to totally locate the mp3 and copy them onto the USB stick or whatever it is that you want to use.

Hope that helps. smile

What if you don't convert the files? will they only play in itunes?

Does Itunes control how many times you can burn these tracks on a disk?

Apple took away that stupid thing they had where you could only play a track you bought with your own apple id. Thank god.

You can play m4a files in iTunes and on apple devices.

You can set your preferences in iTunes to make mp3 instead when you are ripping your CDs and bypass those issues.

Non-apple media players don't support m4a

You can burn them to disk as many times as you want.
