    Can I download music from iTunes to a Sansa Clip MP3? Is the "format" compatible? The file is there, but not showing in the player.

    iTunes music is in a different format. What you would need to do is burn the files to a music CD, then rip the files as mp3s (or convert to mp3), and then upload to your mp3 player. Or you could play the files and re-record them to mp3 format with a program like Any Sound Recorder. Or, the best option, is download a AAC > mp3 conversion program and convert directly.

    Thank you Leolaia for your help. Perhaps I should quit being so cheap and hook up w/Rhapsody or Napster.

    Juni - I have the Sansa Clip - isn't it great! I love the thing. I HATE iTUNES! I only use it for getting Podcasts which come down as MP3 so you can just copy them over.

    But yes, rather than pay iTunes $1 for a format you can't use directly, pay another service a tad less that lets you get the music in MP3 format.
