How to utilize your iTunes
for use with your SwiMP3
Please be aware that all the SwiMP3 line of players do not
have licensing to any of the songs that are purchased
through iTunes. In that case please look to the section
labeled “Burning a CD using iTunes” and follow the
proceeding sections, then back to changing preferences.
Information
• Our player only supports MP3 and WMA formats.
• MP3 is also known as MPEG 1,2,or 3 audio files
•
iTunes uses AAC format which is also known or seen as MPEG4
• We have to convert the files in your iTunes from AAC (mpeg4) to MP3(mpeg
audio File) in order for your SwiMP3 player to play them.
•
If you have purchased music from iTunes these files are “protected” so you do not
duplicate them.
In the following slides I will show you how to
•
change your preferences in iTunes so that from now on when you import music
into iTunes from a CD or another music program the selections will automatically
be in MP3 format.
• How to convert existing AAC format songs into MP3 format.
• How to “burn” and “import” a CD using iTunes
