Be prepared for the most boring thread ever.

I've got a Creative Zen mp3 player. Can I copy music saved on a friend's mac and itunes?

MYOB?

It depends on the source of those files I think and whether they have copyright protection. If downloaded from itunes music store - you can't re-copy them. If originally sourced from CD - yes.

Pretty sure they'll be copied from CD or else from downloaded naughtily from other sites so should be fine.

Cheers :thumbsup:

but you may have to do some funky stuff to change the file type. depends if they are saved as AAC files, in which case you'll have to convert them (i think).

Itunes by default stores all its mp3 files in My Music on PCs not sure wher eit does on MAc but I'd guess ther eis an equivalent just go in there and take the mp3s and you can drag and drop them onto your player, simple. Unless a smentions they ar eAAC in which case you'll need to convert before drag and dropping.

If the imported them into iTunes in AAC, or bought them off the iTunes Music Store, no

If they used mp3, or swiped them off the web, yes.

I didn't mean it like that. If you download stuff off napster for example, you can only play music on that machine. You can't transfer it to another machine. There's something in the licence I think.
