Transfer your iTunes music to a USB drive

For those of you who have a Mac Computer I found a way to do this. I have an IMac OS10.11 and a Kindle Fire HD 6 (4th generation).

After days and hour upon hour I found this link which took care of everything for me.

https://www.android.com/filetransfer/

It is an app that works on the Mac OS and allows one to transfer files/videos, etc from your Mac to the Kindle that does not have a card slot.

First you connect your Kindle to the Mac via USB to micro usb cable.

After starting this app a window comes up showing you what is on your kindles file system. Its allows you to start a new folder and then drag and drop onto it.

I Followed your instructions and it will not allow me to drag anything over to finder app. am using a macbook Pro with its touchpad so that may be causing the issue. BUt I don't have another USB port to be able to plugin my mouse to see if it would work that way.

Ok yep that makes sense but how do i do it so the actual albums are the subfolder on the usb key instead of just the mp3's in that file.

thanks,

I wouldnt recomend it, as it would slow your syncs down when syncing large amounts of music considerably.

But there should be no problems doing it though.

So no real way to do it itunes as albums. just do it on the mac?

I was hoping to be able to do in itunes on my macbook as its a cleaner interface then finder.

thanks,

iTunes is indeed a nice clean interface if you are syncing an iPod or iPhone.

So is it possible to transfer artists/albums into a subfolder from itunes or does it have to be through finder?

thanks,

Finder.

As long as you are working with copies that are not connected to iTunes MediaMonkey's Auto-Organize from Tag tool is quite useful.

You'd run MediaMonkey on your computer. No, I don't know of any browser based tools. Generally sandboxing will aim to prevent the browser having direct access to the file system.

Correction on the above post....my files seem to have the formatting I did in media player, I just cannot seem to sort them by album through Windows Explorer. Any idea on how I can do this?

Double correction...I figured out a way to sort them by album. Sorry for wasting your time and Apple's server space.

Having some issues with playing my music files now. See my latest post dated Jul 22, 2015.

The issue involved the non-protected AACs that I ripped from CDs using iTunes.

The computer that called the files AAC had Quicktime media player installed while the other one did not. Maybe that made a difference?
