Are all MP3 players compatible with Macs?

I just bought a Creative Nomad MuVo TX FM MP3 player, only to find that it is designed for a Windows/PC environment. It does not recognise songs which have been loaded onto it through iTunes. Does anybody know how to fix this - or is it the case that only Ipods are compatible with Macs?

Although there may be a few digital music players that are not on this list that may work with iTunes, this is the officially supported list.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the Creative Nomad MuVO TX is appearing as a valid device inside the "Source" list of iTunes, but the files you copy over are not playable on the device? If that's the case, it's likely to do with iTunes having a default CD import file format of M4A and not MP3.
