Purchased music - in digital form MP3s from Amazon (see below about.(I don't have a Mac, so there's not much more I can tell you) On Mac with OS Catalina or later, there is no iTunes, so you use Finder instead. iTunes on Mac still used on older Macs, using OS Mojave or earlier.iTunes on Windows 7 or 8 - still in use but with limitations.iTunes on Windows 10 or 11 - still used on Windows PCs.Amazon Music - much the same as Apple Music - a subscription service that cannot be used on an iPod Classic.Apple Music - a subscription service to stream music.So let's try the following definitions to see whether it helps: Ignoring anyone's preferences or bias towards any term I use here, it's important that everyone understands what is meant by a specific term (or word) but so far, that isn't happening.

Not sure why the files you got elsewhere won’t transfer to the Clip.Wow! This discussion seems to have gone haywire. eMusic has some nice pricing as well, but you pay a monthly fee for a certain amount of music a month (whether you download the music or not). As I said, you can just copy and paste the files, using Windows Explorer just like you would copy and paste any files on your computer–the easiest way, in my opinion (although some people like WMP).Īmazon is a great source for tunes: wide selection, and some nice pricing. And you don’t need to use WMP to transfer the files to your Clip. I tend to use them, to keep things organized and straight. (Or drag and drop the tunes from your computer to the Clip.) For organization’s sake, the Clip has some folders that you can use for your files: Music, Podcasts, Audiobooks. Just copy and paste the music you want to put on your Clip, from your computer to anywhere on the Clip. The Clip is so easy for putting music on–nothing special is needed!
