Can some one please explain to me how to transfer songs that I have downloaded oin Itunes onto my curve successfully please

There's really no easy way to do it (that I'm aware of). The iTunes songs are a special coded file and can only be played in itunes/ipod/iphone.

The best (and only) way to do it is to convert the file to an mp3 or m4u by burning the iTunes song to a cd, and ripping it back onto the computer via itunes. It's a pain in the a**, but it's the only way I know of to do it.

yea, the post above is right on. Unless the files are Itunes plus files which don't have any DRM

[fishead00]

so i have to burn them from itunes onto a cd and then back again and then transfer using roxio?

I was under the impression that you could access the mp3 files on your ipod when it is plugged in via USB. I know I could with my Zune, but it required a small XP registry change. With the ipod, the files are renamed, so the process of finding the exact song you want can be quite tedious

Yup, that's pretty much it.

If you buy the songs from the iTunes store and they are DRM'd (as most of teh 99 cent songs are I believe) you can not play them on the 8300.

If you burn the songs yourself from a CD, into AAC (non-DRM'd) or MP3, they should work I believe.

If you download a Podcast, which is usually MP3, it should work.

I use Missing Sync for BB, which includes a handy sync for iTunes making this process much easier....

That's funny.

But I'll help out:

And, yeah, use Google. It's amazing. It can find stuff on the internets.

Can I download songs from a site straight to my 8300 without syncing my 8300 as I don't have my own pc and I have been able to download some movie trailers.

[crackberry.addict]

welcome curtis.

Yes you can download songs directly to your phone .. it'll take a shitload of time since you'll be only running and edge connection, but it is possible if the mp3 is being hosted on the web somewhere.

I recall a "Shop Tunes" icon on my 8300 that I buried in a folder. I think you can download directly to the handheld using that feature.

That seems to be one of the better ways. Especially, if you want to preserve the quality of the music.

I bought "double twist" . It worked on some but caused skipping on others. I imported 135 itunes to BB 8320 using media manager.
