Saving music from iTunes to Memory Stick??

Select the music you want, drag it to the open window of the memory stick.

WAV is not very good with transportation though as it does not support tagging, although itunes will give each file a name.

Garyi,

Thanks for your quick response, could you or someone else elaborate on " drag it to the open window of the memory stick"

Thanks all.

Regards

Justin

Guys,

Any further help on what Garyi has written????

Any help much appreiciated.

Open iTunes on the PC (assuming that's what you have), right click the track you want, select Copy. Open up the memory stick on Explorer, and paste the copied file into that.

If you know which directory your wav files are stored on the PC, copy them directly from that directory into the memory stick.

But am I missing something here?

"drag it to the open window of the memory stick" just means that you open an explorer window for your USB-stick first, the one you use to view the contents of your stick and then just drag-and-drop the files from iTunes into the open explorer window.
This will copy the files to your USB stick.

Sorry I assumed you were on a mac.

Drag and Drop clearly highlights the difference between users of PCs and of Macs.

So anyway in itunes create a new playlist and put all the music you want on your stick in the play list.

In the playlist select all the tracks click and hold the mouse button and begin to drag, itunes will collate them into a green number of tracks its now ready to be 'dropped' somewhere, either your desktop or an open window of the memory stick.

Works more or less the same on the PC too (just slightly less elegant). Copy/Paste in the way I described is the long-hand version!

By the way, Justin - If you have a PC and are saving up for a macbook for the direct connection to the Dac via toslink, then personally I found that the quality of playback in the DAC was better through an Airport Express. That said, the Airport Express will probably need some fiddling around to set up properly and even then can be prone to drop-outs that no-one seems to be able to get to the bottom of.

I am in no way saying mac users are 'superior' because we drag and drop.

However on mac its absolutely the defacto way of doing things. Where as a PC user would always select some items and 'save as' or 'export' a mac user would drag.

Literally everything dragged in mac does something, dragging a jpeg to the mail icon creates a new mail message with the image attached, dragging photos from iphoto to the desktop outputs that image, or dragging it to a printer icon prints it etc etc.

Its just not done that way on PC. Explorer is the way its done on PC.

Each has their uses.

Guys,

Thanks all so much for taking the time to help. I will try it over the weekend ( had a few pints tonight ).

Thanks again.

Kind regards.

That is just asinine and wrong in so many ways.

Drag and drop works fantastically. There is no diff between the machines in this regard.

Yes both systems can do it. I'll tell you what PCs do it better ok?

Hey take a chill pill.

Patrick is correct and you are wrong in most of what you have said about the PC.

Most PC users will drag and drop as much as they will save as. Dragging to print or mail is very possible with a PC just as it is with a mac.

I have never, ever seen hardened PC users do drag and drop. Infact in XP (which yes is old but still the main business application) you cannot drag and drop for many items, such as dragging a jpeg from IE to the desktop creates a 'live desktop' what ever the hell that is. Windows Vista and & which I now have on my mac have made it much better and entirely the same as macs. But I bet most of you PC users still goto file and save, infact its what got the OP here confused int he first place. I don't think itunes even has the option.

I am telling you right now, one key difference between mac users and PC users is HOW they use the operating system. And for many many years the defacto way of management on the PC has been windows explorer and to say otherwise is just wrong. Drag and drop was THE way to use macs in 1984 and it is today. It has its problems. My desktop is a frigging mess and I cannot find anything and rely mostly on spotlight to find anything now.
I never once stated PCs cannot do drag and drop, and I never stated drag and drop was better. Infact in terms of organisation it is most defo not the best way.

Patrick jumps at my neck every time I mention anything to do with computers and it gets on my tits. But yes I will take a pill containing chill.

When I saw Jason's reply to your advice I smiled.

At the time I was browsing the forum at the same time as - errm - dragging from itunes to a memory stick for the car.

The problem with itunes is that it will only sync to an ipod. I just started Windows Media Player and also popped in a memory stick. The Sync tab now tells me to "Drag items here to create a sync list".

I do find that most people that favour the mac over Windows have not used Windows since XP. They get advice to buy a mac when a new PC would suit just as well.

I have windows seven on my mac and use it often. Its a fine operating system, easily as good as OSX and on a mac is great. The only thing I don't like about PCs is that they are PCs.

Guys,

I have today managed to download from iTunes to USB memory stick, and the difference in quality in the sound is huge.

Thanks to you all for taking my musical enjoyment to new heights.

Thanks again.

Justin
