Yes, generally with reduced functionality iTunes is fundamentally a desktop music/video player, so any task that involves playing music or watching videos purchased with iTunes or resident on your system will likely work with iTunes. (The exception is that content on your drive which is in a format, such as WMV or WMA, that iTunes does not support. ) What iTunes WON'T do for you if you don't have an iPod is manage your device (i.e.

, your mp3 player). That is, it won't update the content or provide access to the device from iTunes. Music purchased in iTunes (as of February 2007) cannot be used on your device if it's not an iPod (the only exception being the Motorola iTunes phone -- and this has a 100 song limit).

Regardless, you can always install iTunes -- it won't mess up any of the otherwise installed features of your mp3 player and there are certain things (specifically, pdocasts) which iTunes handles better than most other software. For about a year I used iTunes with my WMA-player as a podcast manager -- it allows you to drag and drop mp3 podcasts from iTunes to the player, so it was a useful method of semi-automatically updating my podcasts. There are various other roles iTunes might play in your portable media life with an mp3 player, but these are the highlights of what you need to know.

Keep in mind that buying any rights-protected content, from iTunes or from any protected-WMA site, will limit your future ability to play that music on an arbitrary portable device. Best of luck! .

Yes you can. Itune itself can only be synced with Ipods, but with some 3rd party softwares, you can sync it to any mp3 players, PDA, PSP, etc. If you are running Mac OS X you can check out the SyncTunes (Free): nesfield.co.uk/synctunes/ If you have windows then the iTunes Agent is a great free tool. http://ita.sourceforge.net/index.html note that iTunes Agent requires that .

Net Framework 2.0 Final is installed. You can download . Net Framework from here, or via Windows Update.

According to Apple, no. But... Per Apple's Knowledge Base: iTunes for Windows can transfer a variety of audio and music files to iPod, including MP3 and AAC encoded files. Other MP3 players do not work with iTunes for Windows.

Presumably, this same caveat applies to Mac 'Pods. However, all is not lost. Provided that your selected player (the Sandisk Sansa is very nice) appears as a storage device, you can drag and drop files to and from the device quite easily.So it's not an open and shut case at all.

What you lose in that scenario, though, is the nice automation that goes on between iTunes and the 'Pod. Sources: Apple Inc.

Most work fine Most mp3 players work with itunes. I've not had any problems mounting non-Apple players & moving music back and forth.

Not really I had a Toshiba mp3 player (it stopped working for no apparent reason) and it wouldn't accept music from my I-Tunes account as I-Tunes is set up to only transfer its music to I-PODs and to not be compatible with any other mp3 players. Most generic mp3s will take music from other on-line sources. I think I put music onto mine through Media Player and Napster.

Sorry to have to tell you that I-tunes won't do the transfer. Sources: Experience .

Can I up load my mp3 to an IPOD or do I need to buy the songs from itunes.

What mp3 players download directly to the player.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
