I an not techincally savvy and can’t seem to get a straight answer on this. Is there a way to get itunes music that has been downloaded to a computer on to the clip plus? I know that you can burn to a CD and then rip from the CD. I have seen some people indicate that you can right click on the itunes playlist and convert to a format that can be dragged to the clip plus but when I right click on the itunes list it does not give an option to convert to MP3 format, only to aac format. Again I don’t get all the technical terms so if someone could explain the options I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Here’s a DUH - open an explorer window that shows your player. Open iTunes. Highlight the songs you want on your Sansa. Drag them to the player. Done.
Works on my Mac, anyway - too bad my Sansa player doesn’t work as well. (POS died on me yesterday).
Transcoding AAC (lossy) itunes format to mp3 (lossy) will degrade the final output quality (by a minor percent). If the AAC itunes library is encoded in >192kbps bitrate format, I recommend using VBR2 format or better. (bitrate should be same or higher). The primary rule is that mp3 bitrate generally should be higher than the source AAC.
