Using iTunes without a normal MP3 not iPod.

Former Member

Probably a really dozy question but can you still use iTunes even with a bog standard MP3?

Former Member

No, not in the sense of being able to sync it up. Though you can still get many mp3 players which will play the itunes AAC files. Though if you get itunes to import as mp3 rather than the default format, it makes things a little easier.

You mean to transfer files? Most regular mp3 players allow you to simply access the player as a drive through My Computer and drag n drop the files. Forcing a user to use a separate program is some weird standard Apple tried to force on people. Usually the query is "Can I use my iPod without iTunes?"

Yes, you can use WinAmp. Also, with WinAmp, you can copy stuff from your iPod to your hard drive, which you can't do with that piece of shit called iTunes.

and iPod is an MP3 player, just like a Zune, P2 etc. It's only it has support for the ACC codec.
