MP3 players: Switching from ipod to Creative Zen Vision M, but how???
Switching from ipod to Creative Zen Vision M, but how???
by troganig - 5/29/06 4:02 PMI had an ipod for 2 years which died, so I decided to replace it with the creative zen vision m. BUT all my music is in iTunes as mp4 files, how do I convert to mp3 to get it on the creative? I tried burning to cd, then ripping the cd back to mp3, but at this rate it will take FOREVER, and all the id tags are lost! Is there an easy way to do this???
This is probably already posted somewhere, because I can't be the only one with this problem, but I did a quite a few searches and couldn't find the answer anywhere. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Google can help you.

My recommendations for finding an appropriate converter: http://www.google.com/search?hs=IXW&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=mp4+to+mp3+converter+audio&btnG=Search
Switching from IPOD

iTunes can do it for you

check epizenter.net
by Akimo - 5/30/06 2:39 AM In reply to: Switching from ipod to Creative Zen Vision M, but how??? by troganigthere is a good site on zen players, zen vision m in particular:

In case this does not explain things clearly they also have forums there. Conversion between various MPEGs make take some time, so your best option is to leave PC on for the night so that you are done with it in the morning. Good Luck.
just do it in itunes! its very simple:
by fsasaki13 - 5/30/06 3:45 PM In reply to: check epizenter.net by Akimoselect the songs you want with CTRL and CLICK. (or artists/albums/genres - click the browse button to show these - upper right corner of library)
then head into the "advanced" menu (top left) and click "convert selection to mp3" and wallah! but if you are doing this to your whole collection it will take time!
also if you plan on doing this, go into edit > preferences > "advanced" tab > "importing" and "burning" tab to tweak the settings you want when converting
hope that helped!
Thanks a bunch - one question

Rip with RealPlayer
by GregOhio - 1/25/07 10:25 AM In reply to: Switching from ipod to Creative Zen Vision M, but how??? by troganigBurn to CD with iTunes. Then, rip with RealPlayer having set it to create mp3's. RealPlayer will read the CD-text, insert correct ID3 tags, and organize into folders. And, it's really fast, like 4 minutes per CD. Then, your music can be played on any mp3 player you like.
