Anybody out there know whether I can get my iTunes library to play on a Sansa mp3 player? The salesman at Best Buy said it would be no problem, but I have since found out that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Big shocker there.

Get windows media player on your machine, and import your iTunes library. Then the Sansa will be easy to load.
What model Sansa do you have? I thought they were making players that worked with both M4P and MP3 files. Maybe check out the Sansa site, they have pretty good support.
Do you use a Mac or PC?

I got a Sansa Clip. It's about the size of a pack of matches.

We use an iMac. I wonder what it's going to think of my running Windows Media Player.

I will give it a try.

There is a version of WMP for mac.
I have both WMP and iTunes on my PC's and my old G4, because I have MP3 players and iPods. Slightly different topic - iGadget is a great program to avoid having to sync the iPod everytime you want to put something on or take something off.

You could try reformatting the clip -

Forgive me if you know these things already...they are very basic.

First off, make sure your Ipod/itunes library is storing songs in MP3. You have to set this up in Itunes as the default otherwise it stores / rips files in apple format.

Itunes stores the music files in directories, usually by artist / then CD. You find the MP3 files at the bottom of the directory tree. Depending how your MP3 player connects to your computer, you may be able to drag and drop onto it. I do this with my daughter's cell phones. They appear to be a USB drive to the computer.

As far as a more full featured library app, I don't have any info. I think the generic MP3 world is all looking for an itunes equivalent.
