iTunes downloads are .m4a files, the format for the iPod, or m4p files, copy-protected m4a files.
The Fuze will need mp3 files. It’s easy. In iTunes, open your music library, highlight the album or files you want–or all of your files, though I suggest doing an album or a few albums at a time–and click Create mp3 Version.
…and if its an .m4p file, you will get something like this:
You will have to burn them to a CD, then re-rip it with iTunes to MP3. Its an extremly time-consuming process. If you bought much music on iTunes prior to April, its most likely in .m4p format.
So you have a few choices: give up on the music, go through this process, or keep buying iPods forever (which is what the “protection” was there for in the first place).
I wrote a pretty long response to someone wanting to do this awhile back. If you’re interested in making the switch, take a look: link.
If its something you ripped from CDs or something you’ve bought recently, it should be easy to convert.
