I ripped her fave tunes (change iTunes import settings to MP3 - lowest quality saves lots of space but loses very little quality) and plugged the player into the USB port... The Mini sees it as a portable drive. Drag and drop the tunes you want on the player. Voila ! As it's effectively a fancy-pants memory stick, you can also delete the tunes from it you don't want any more, by double-clicking the icon to open the window and dragging the tunes to the trash. Remember to empty trash before you try to add more or the "space" you have just created won't be there, then you can drag and drop some more onto it... Where's the right-click button? |

In the window that opens, select "Advanced"... then "Importing" tab... toggle "Import using" tab to the setting you want... insert CD and away you go - it'll now rip to iTunes in the normal way, but as MP3 files... If you have ripped your CDs to iTunes with the standard settings (AAC files) I don't know whether they'll play on an MP3 player... but the name of the device would suggest not... Sorry... Where's the right-click button? Last edited by tootallUK; 01-03-2006 at 08:30 AM. |
