iTunes is an excellent way to keep your music library organized and has one of the most popular digital music stores built in, but if you have an MP3 player that isn’t an iPod, you’re stuck managing its contents outside of iTunes, until now. I’ve identified some tools that can help you bridge that gap.
Note that not all digital audio players are capable of playing every audio format. They can all play MP3, but there are some that cannot play the AAC format that Apple prefers, and only iPods can play tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store that have DRM. Happily, Apple no longer protects downloads from the iTunes Music Store with DRM and provides a way to remove DRM from tracks you may have purchased prior to that change. With those caveats in mind, read on.
