I didn't notice anything amiss, with my Sony MDR-V150's(listenable only with heavy EQ adjustments....not the best $15 I've spent), but I noticed when I was drag&dropping a podcast that the conversion WMP performed when syncing those songs wasn't just bitrate, it was from MP3 to wma. I haven't tried the Skullcandys yet....my ears don't like earbuds too much. I've read that wma is supposed to do better at lower bitrates than mp3, I just wonder if I lost anything with the extra conversion. I didn't notice with casual listening, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. It didn't faze the Fuze tho...lol Edit: In trying to research this, I came across wma vbr...I know wmp11 can do it, but will the fuze play it, and sound good? I still have all my original 192 mp3's safely on dvd, but this would allow a lot more songs on the fuze...the above wma conversions still sound fine even on the skullcandy.

If you don't remove itunes DRM it’s impossible to play them on any Apple incompatible devices, like Zune, Creative Zen, PSP, mobile Phone, etc. This turns out really bad if you want to buy a new mp3 player which is not manufactured by Apple. So, The way not to delete itunes DRM files, you could try some methods or programs that remove DRM off of the iTunes files. Please note that using programs might be illegal in the country where you are living, make sure you know what you are doing before downloading and using them. 1. Remove iTunes DRM protection using iTunes + CD-R Follow these 5 steps: Create an iTunes playlist containing your purchased songs. Insert a blank CD-R or a CD-RW. Burn the playlist to disk. Re-import the songs after a successful burn. Deleting the original purchased tracks. 2. Remove iTunes DRM with DRM software in Windows One of these program is Daninusoft Media Converter Pro which can remove iTunes DRM with its newest version (2.2.1.0).

Now I'm in a pickle! After sync with my mp3, I have several songs dupiclated on the player. Also when advancing from one song to another, sometimes I get a "sync to continue your music subscription". It seems everytime I sync, some but not not all songs are added again! I've got a mess here. I can't remove songs except one at a time on the View? Can I remove all music, then reload from the WMP? I have several movies on the View I don't want to lose! Thank you.

I now use WMA to manage my Sansa View files. One thing I miss from RP (besides the free usage w/o monthly charges i.e., Rapsody) is the I guess you call it metadata? I understand this kind of info can be added using WMA. How? Second, even after reading WMA's explaination of sync I'm confused. My confusion is how do I avoid having additional copies of a song left on my View? Seems when I sync I'll have a song 2x on the View. I want to be able to "sync" that is add new music from either my PC or new music on my View to the files that exist on MWA and the player with out any duplication. How do I accomplish that?

It will be ok if you just play it on your computers with iTunes, or on your iPod. However, you may need to insert the music in a Power Point presentation, listen it on your mp3 player or set it as background music of your website or other legal personal usage, and you will find you are not allowed. All the iTunes music files are m4p format, it’s restricted. Is there any way to remove this DRM protection and convert the iTunes songs to widely used mp3 files? There are some ways that can achieve your goal. (1) In iTunes, these DRM protected songs can’t be burned to mp3 CD disc, however, you can burn them to audio CD, and then use an audio ripper to rip the tracks from the CD. It may be a waste of CD discs when you have plenty of songs which need to be converted. (2) Use the program named Noteburner . It has won the award of top DRM removing tool and the third place of audio converter by Top Ten Reviews, please refer to Audio Converter by Top Ten Review . Noteburner...

The main differences between EAC and most other audio grabbers are: It is free (for non-commercial purposes) It works with a technology, which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and Accurate Rip. Tips: Download an external encoder for the audio format you wish to use. Rarewares is an excellent web site to find external encoders for audio formats.
