Mac Compatible? Is the Sansa Shaker compatible with a mac G4 Powerbook?

Yes - it's just a glorified card reader. My daughter uses it with my MacBook with no problems. Just drag and drop the files.

I also have a Sansa media player, and it worked fine, for about one year. Then, the touchpads failed to work and I had to throw it out. I called Altec Lansing and they said there was nothing they would do to reconcile this and I couldn't send it to them to fix. The sound is excellent, though. Good luck!

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

I know it can be used with audacity, because that's what I use. I've seen other reviews where people have used it with garage band, and it worked perfectly fine. and I use windows so I have no idea if it will work with the older MacBook, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

I have only used it on a windows machine and checked the packaging and there is no mention of being mac compatible

No it is not compatible with any Mac products. Requires software loaded on a PC to use.

I have a PC, but I see on the Amazon website that another respondent says that this unit is compatible with Mac.

Yes, you can load music onto the Sansa Clip from a Mac. The software Sandisk supplies does not work on Mac, so updating firmware or reformatting might get tricky for us on Macs. But even without software, the Clip mounts on the Mac desktop fine. Drag-an-drop MP3 files into the music folder on the Clip and song titles show and they play correctly. Great player for the money.

Agreed, which is it, "yes" or "no"? The description says it works with Mac, though one must also DL Audacity, which is a free APP.

Ashley, I'm not sure if the Griffin "nob" would work. Make sure you download the software (drivers) from Griffin Website... the PowerMate works XP, Vista, and MAC: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater. I find mine and report back if I think there's a possibility it will work the way you wanted too.

I don't use proprietary software. Under win7 and win 8.1 it is automatically USB recognised and I simply drag and drop MP3 songs and audiobooks. Best solution I have found for simple audiobooks when walking. Tried phone/ipod/iriver and others.... sansa wins hands down. Cheers. P.S. This is my 3rd in 5 years.

I only use Mac's for working on Audio. Check M-audio website, to see if it's compatible.

No clue...my suggestion would be to not buy it at all. Mine never did work right. It was a piece of junk. Sansa has a better product.

Nikwax lies...these are not compatible with mac books, they work with ipod's like a dream! however they are terrible if you want sound from your mac
