OK, I give up.... (iTunes question)

Posted by: Mutant Enemy on 26 June 2009

Hi everybody
I picked up an 8Gb flash drive yesterday. Am attempting to copy some music from bloody iTunes to it and am stumped.
Is there some trick to this?
It will only allow me to copy XML or Text files to the flash. No music Frown
WTF?

Cheers
me

ps...PC running XP

Select the music you want from the main itunes window.

Drag it to you flash drive (Its a mac thing, I would not even consider using a menu, drag and drop all the time)

Failing this goto you documents folder, then itunes, then music and all you music is in there by artist/album.

Cheers Garyi but what I dont understand is why itunes doesnt recognize that there's an external device connected.

The flash doesn't show up on the left of the screen in itunes???

Works fine WMP though. Any idea?

Control R to reveal THEN drag and drop. Yay!

I don't think apple allows itunes to reveal other devices on the left (At least I was not aware of it!)

Best bet I think is to create a playlist of the music you want on the devices then you can easily select all the music at once for dragging.
