How to transfer iTunes music to mp3 player?

How to transfer iTunes music to mp3 player?

------------------------------------------------------------

Question:

"I've purchased a bunch of music from iTunes and have enjoyed listening to them on my computer. But my portable music player is not an Apple iPod, so I can't take my songs with me. I know that I can burn it but I don't have a cd burner on my computer so I need a different method. Is there any way I can get around this unfair restriction and transfer my iTunes music to MP3 player?"

Answer:

Music files from iTunes are DRM-protected. In order to play them on mp3 players other than iPod and iphone, you need a special program to help strip off the protection and convert the iTunes m4p, m4b, m4a music to mp3. I always use wondershare music converter. My friend introduced it to me. It can convert the songs from iTunes at very high speed.

--------------------------------------------------------------



Most of the files purchased from iTunes Store are DRM protected i.e. you can play them only on specific devices and computers. You cannot use the DRM protected files on any random computer or portable media player. And the music from iTunes store is usually either in MP4 or AAC format. This means all of the songs and videos you download from the iTunes store will only work on your iPod. If you want them on another MP3 player or Sony PSP, you cannot do it unless you transfer the iTunes files to MP3 format.


How to remove DRM from iTunes music?

As we known, Apple only allowed for new sales of iTunes Plus content without providing a cost-reduced upgrade path. That said, downloading upgraded DRM-free, 256K songs cost 30¢ each, about one-third the 99¢ price of a track purchased a la carte.

Although most people are not particularly happy about having to pay another 30¢ each for songs they already "owned" is there any other resolution? Yes, you get the right place! Today I would like to introduce one more easier and faster method to put iTunes music to mp3player.
What you need is just iTunes and this DRM Removal Program - Wondershare Music Converter. You can download here for iTunes and Wondershare Music Converter.


Here is the step by step tutorial for the program:

1 Free download Wondershare music Converter install and run it.

2 when come to the main interface, you can directly drag-drop target music file to the conversion window, or click the 'Add' button to import the target files.

3 Choose the format you'd like to get. There is a list of output formats. If you want to edit them in Windows Movie Maker, I recommend you to select MP3 or WAV.

4 And then click the start button, and the DRM removing process is beginning. After a while, the files are DRM-ripped. You can view your converted files by press the browse button.

5 After conversion, now we can transfer the converted songs to your mp3 player. The non-DRM music can be transferred to another MP3 player easily.

Thanks for viewing this guide of transfer iTunes music to mp3. Now, let's enjoy our clear music & videos in your mp3 player or other portable player freely and have a wonderful life.

Tips: This method works also for music video movie downloaded from other online stores like Windows Media Center ,Zune Marketplace, Napster, Rhapsody, Nokia Music Store, Spiralfrog, Bearshare, eMusic, Puretracks, MusicGiants, CinemaNow Movielink, Amazon Unbox etc, as well as your home-made movie shot with camcorder or something else.

Nutsie brings iTunes to Android via the cloud

utsie brings iTunes to Android via the cloud

Version 3.0 of Nutsie, a mobile application soon coming to Android phones, is more than an anagram for iTunes.

The basic idea behind the current version of Nutsie is simple: you have a bunch of songs stored in iTunes on your computer and you would like to play them on your phone , http://www.removing-drm.com/player-tips/transfer-itunes-music-video-to-htc-hero-touch.html but you don't want to buy an Apple iPhone (perhaps because of AT&T). For $19.95, you can download the Nutsie app for phones running Google's Android

(from cnet.com)

As I watched Melodeo engineering Vice President Bob Wise demonstrate the new Nutsie on a Motorola Droid at the company's Seattle office on Monday, I had to wonder why Google doesn't have its own Nutsie-like app.



The Nutsie app for phones running Google's Android, Research In Motion's BlackBerry, Microsoft's Windows Mobile, and various other mobile platforms, then grab the Nutsie uploader for your computer, and it will automatically sync your iTunes library to your mobile phone. You never need to plug your phone into your computer, and any changes to iTunes are automatically synced to the cloud and then to your phone.

Nutsie also recommends other songs based on the contents of your library, then integrates those songs into your iTunes playlists. (This function forms the basis of Effin Genius, an iPhone app that creates playlists based on your library; Melodeo basically stripped the Serendipity feature out of Nutsie and made it into an iPhone app.)

There has been one big drawback to Nutsie: it required you to use playlists, and you couldn't navigate to single songs, as you could do with iTunes on an iPhone. It was more like Internet radio than a true iTunes clone. This all changes with the new version of Nutsie, which is slated to come out for Android phones this quarter.

Whereas past versions uploaded only data about songs, then streamed copies of those songs from Nutsie's servers, the forthcoming version is more like a digital storage locker: it will let users upload their entire iTunes library to Nutsie's servers, then access that content from their Android phone. The playback experience will be almost exactly the same as if they were using an iPhone. Nutsie will also cache songs to the device, so once users have played a particular song, they won't need to have an active Internet connection to play it again.

So why hasn't Google made something like Nutsie an Android standard? Android's music sync is one of its worst features--users have to mount the device as a hard drive before they can transfer files to it--and the onboard storage for the Nexus One is a paltry 4GB (expandable, but still).

If any company has embraced the cloud, it's Google. So why not make local storage obsolete? Untether users' music libraries from their PCs and stream them from the cloud instead. It would make sense for users and would provide a treasure trove of information about users--their musical tastes--to help Google target advertisements even more effectively.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. After all, Google has already added playable music streams to its search results, and Apple reportedly bought Lala in part to keep it out of Google's hands. If it agrees, the question is, will Google build it or buy it?

iPhone is better than Nexus One ,there are eight reasons.


iPhone is better than Nexus One ,there are eight reasons.




With Google Nexus launches a smartphone in the market, hype about Nexus One beating Apple iPhone has reached its limits. The fact that the Google smartphone has better features than the iPhone by a thin gap, should it be considered to be an iPhone killer? No, it's not an iPhone killer.


18657113.jpg26778638.jpg


Why Google Nexus One is not an iPhone Killer to validate the reasons , here are eight reasons:


1. Power and battery: Although the Nexus One has a removable battery and powerful compared to the iPhone, it is not efficient enough to give a talk time of 12 hours like an iPhone.


2. iPhone as an iPod: As of Sep 9, 2009, over 220,000,000 iPods had been sold worldwide, making it the best selling digital audio player ever.


3. Multi-touch function: Google Nexus One can not beat iPhone when it comes to multi-touch functionality (swiping, multi-fingered gestures, pinch to zoom, etc.).


4. Synchronization Feature: Even Google Nexus One, which is running on Android Platform, has the ability to Synchronization with iTunes but it usually requires a third-party app and it is a manual process. Also, iTunes automatically keeps the iPhone updated with music every time.


5. Applications: In terms of applications , the iPhone is way ahead of the Nexus One. Apple Application Store offers more than 100,000 Applications.


6. Games: iPhone has become a mobile gaming device of a choice.iPhone has a very wide gaming platform. There are some very strong gaming titles available for the iPhone users.


7.Mac OS Vs Android: The new operating system of Google is good, but that does not mean, it will provide the comfort and ease that the iPhone already offers.


8. Hardware: Google is new to hardware. They have ventured into the market of Web services and software.


Moreover, even if Apple's products are expensive, you do get what you pay for and Apple's attention to detail is what makes Apple products, like the iPhone, a pleasure to use.


As noted above, although the iPhone has few better features compared to the Nexus One, let's be honest about the newly launched product in the market.


891CC2DC14CFC2420449F0E98ECD68C1.jpg


But as mentioned earlier, will Nexus One beat the iPhone in view of the distinctive features discussed above? The answer is no. The two giants in the field of smartphones have to go through stiff competition to outmatch each other but definitely, the Google smartphone is not an iPhone killer, not just yet. In this sense, the experience of Apple plays a larger role compared to Google's new venture into the hardware market.
