iTunes music

[Slowpoke]

I do buy music, get your laughs in. But music I buy on iTunes and then put onto my USB pen won't play in my car. Music I buy on Amazon works just fine but for some reason, not from iTunes. Any ideas?

Might be because of the file types. I know there's .avi and .mp3, not sure which iTunes are though or what ones work with what.

Isn't iTunes music drm protected? And it's normally in m4a or m4b format I thought

[kk.]

Only way I can think of doing it if it's not working is by inserting a CD and burning a CD. iTunes files are .m4a and are only playable by iPods and iTunes. Ripping them to CD converts them to mp3. Then use the CD to transfer them onto the USB like that

I think if you set your import settings on itunes to MP3, you can convert the stuff you buy pretty much straight away. It just makes a MP3 version of the file in the same music folder.

iTunes standard downloads .m4a. You have to get .mp3 files to hear in your car.
You need to convert the .m4a files into .mp3 ones.

in iTunes, press Control + Shift + 4 to have the correct Display, List.
Then click the bars and make sure to select Filetype or something simliar, to look what type of files your music files are. Then, then you should look at the ones you want in your car, and check which ones are NOT .mp3.

Then you have to convert them to .MP3 - so make sure you set your library on that.
