Insert the SD card into your computer, and then double-click its icon so it looks like an open folder.


Highlight tracks you want in iTunes, and drag to the SD card. This places a copy of each file onto the SD card, and does change anything in your library.


If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

Chibbchi,


In your iTunes library, look at the "Kind" for the files that will not play. If you do not see a column for Kind, enable it by going to View > View Options.


If the Kind is "AAC audio"or "Purchased AAC," you can convert the file to MP3 by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550


If the Kind is "Protected AAC," the file cannot be converted. Upgrade it to iTunes Plus and then follow the above guide.

perhaps you can help me too with getting music onto an sd card in order to play in my car.

my sd card is usually used in the Kodak camera i inherited.

it currently has two files--DCIM & Misc.

When i try to drag mp3 files to this sd card, it says "cannot be modified."

in Get Info it says the format for this sd card is MS-DOS (FAT16)

under Sharing & Permissions it says "read only"

suggestions?
