Bowie CD does not appear to sync to iPhone...

What kind of file is it? ALAC? WAV? FLAC?

FRom CD, if thats relevant... he blushed...

You ripped it in iTunes?

It sounds to me like you've synced with one computer and cannot sync music on the other, or whatever.

You know that stupid Apple crap that wont let you just "put music on the phone"

Do you get any error message?

In responce to pcstockton - iTunes will let you sync (non-DRM music anyway) to as many devices as you like. It's just that a device can only sync to one library.

Eloise,

Right, exactly what I was intending to convey.

I have an iPhone and am constantly pissed about that.

There's a program called Senuti - lets you sync your iphone with any Mac computer you want. Might help.

Doc,

Ive tried a few of these programs (for PC of course, most are Mac only) and none of them worked seamlessly. The best one I found will take the files off of the iPod/Phone, but they can only be used in iTunes. When importing them into Foobar, they made a playlist of word salad. No way to know what anything is.

At least I now have all the music from my iPhone on my computer at the office, which was my goal. I just have to use iTunes. No biggie. They are only V0 MP3s anyway. No need for ASIO or anything. I am just listening on little desktop H/K speakers.

I just wanted to listen to some music one day and found it frustrating that it wouldn't let me sync my music.

EVERY other player Ive ever owned worked exactly like a hard drive. Files on, files off.

Back to the original poster's question rather than moaning about Apple's policy of syncing an iPod with only one computer...

Do you get any form of error message when trying to sync the Bowie CD?
Can you play the CD back on the computer?
Do you sync your entire library, or just selected playlists?

Eloise

Sorry for the thread jack Eloise (not really moaning...) I was trying to make sure this wasn't his problem. I thought maybe he synced on one computer and tried to add the Bowie from another, which will not work.

My intent wasn't to bitch about iTunes and Apple. I was actually just trying to describe the problem as to potentially solve his issue.

I asked Mike some direct questions, as you did, and he hasn't come back in to comment.

I figured he either got past it, or no longer cares.

Sorry.

I reccon you must be right - doesn't seam to be an issue for him any more as he hasn't responded ...

My apologies for not getting back sooner - out ALL weekend and new job quite demanding of time...

I used iTunes, no error message, listening to the iTunes version on the PC as I type, synved everything ( I think... )

... and you are still unable to put it on your iPhone/pod/touch?

Possible reasons:
- Other music was synced on a different computer
- There isnt any hard drive space left on the device
- It is in a format NOT supported by your device
- You did not properly choose to sync it to your device.
etc.....

Ipod/itouch/iphone only do 16/44.1 they don't do 24bit..

is it remastered from 24 bit masters or a hires file?

It is a 24 bit remaster (dithered to 16/4 per red book spec). Not a 24bit magical CD.
