I purchased a CD on amazon as a MP3 and it downloaded onto Itunes right away but it won't let me transfer it to my Ipod. What can I do?
iPod shuffle
What happens when you try? Error message?
Does the songs play in iTunes?
What does "it won't let me transfer it to my Ipod" mean?
What happens?
I have no trouble syncing Amazon purchases to my ipod/iphone.
Yes the songs play in Itunes and normally my music automatically syncing to my Ipod but this CD doesn't and when I try to move a song to my Ipod there is a red circle with a line through it, indicating I cannot do that. I don't know if it makes a difference but my Ipod is a few years old so nothing new.
right click on a song in iTunes and select Get Info. What format is specified and is there any DRM specified.
It says
Kind: MPEG audio file
Format: MPEG-1 Layer 3
No DRM specified.
Thanks for your help and sorry it take so long for me to respond!
The specs for the 4G iPod says:
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
I do not see MPEG-1 listed.
Try changing the formate. From iTunes Help:
Save a copy of a song in a new file format
You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).
When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn’t notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, import the music again from the original source using the new encoding format.
Important: You can’t convert iTunes Store purchases unless they’re iTunes Plus songs.
To convert a song’s file format:
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
