Cannot move playlists to ipod shuffle

adam2112 · 26th December 2006, 02:44

I got an iPod Shuffle and I cannot stand iTunes. I am trying to move songs to my iPod through the newest version of WinAmp. My Shuffle is recognized, but when I right-click a song in my playlist and go to Send To: and then iPod Shuffle, I get the following message:

'Some of these tracks were of an incompatible format and will not be transferred'

get the latest version of winamp (5.32), it should automatically convert incompatable files to ipod playable formats.

I am using the newest version. I just downloaded it and installed last night.

so am I - and I am having the same problem; my Winamp doesn't even see the Shuffle as a shuffle - it sees USB Drive H

sbostin - Although I cannot move files form a CD to the shuffle, Winamp does recognize my shuffle. Before trying Winamp I loaded iTunes and did the update of my shuffle. Maybe the update helped Winamp see my shuffle?

Anyway, I still have the original problem. I can move files to my shuffle as long as the files are physically stored on my pc, but not from a CD. I have to rip the songs to my computer first and then move them to the shuffle.
