Got over a thousand songs on my iTunes library I'd like to transfer to a unit that can play them back at a higher level than my cd player. Is this it?

All depends on your CD player you are comparing to, but I have a $100,000 system, and this Sony unit sounds just as good as my HD CD player, so I use it all the time because access can de done from the comfort of my chair. My guess is, it will sound better than 99% of the CD players out there, and equal the other 1%.

This player up converts everything to DSD Sony says, While I don't have many MP3 tracks the ones I have put in sound good.

On the sony high res player. You can play your files in dsd mode through the dsee engine. This will give you better than cd qualify. Or if you get pro conventer you will be able to convert your files to a higher bit rate. To keep them in your iTunes you need to keep them at aiff or ALAC and you can get 24 bit rate files. You can also get FLAC or wav on the pro converter app.

Hi Philip, Yes. you can trasnfer your music. Please check this website: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/homeav/Hi-Res_Audio/HAP_Music_Transfer_help/en/index.html . Dave

The answer depends on your cd player and current dac that you are using. This unit provides a very high level of processing of lower resolution files and really does a good job in squeezing a bit extra out of them. If this is an upgrade for you depends on your existing equipment.

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

Yes, kind of. The unit only plays MP3 files, so you need files in that format. If you download iTuneMyWalkman (ITMW) (shareware), it will convert songs from itunes to mp3 and load them into the player (follow directions, or the software will erase stuff on the walkman) If you want the album art transferred to the player, the art needs to be in jpg format. Apple/Itunes tend to use png format which won't work. Also, forget video on this device. Three sony software products do not convert video properly. No third party software converts the video either (apple or windows) spent hours with sony support- They do not know how to get video to work either.

itunes doesn't support FLAC - but you can use it to rip your cds to ALAC (Apple Lossless), which is similar to FLAC (ie max quality) and the HAP-S1 will play ALAC files. If you desperately need FLAC then buy dbpoweramp.

I use a program called isyncr to sync my music from iTunes. You can sync specific playlists.

That sounds good. I am in the process of reripping the CDs that are WMA's - I knew the Ipod wouldn't play them, and I was worried about the sound quality with converted files. Thanks for the reply!

Most definitely! I burn my mp3 playlists on a cd. The mega base adds an extra dimension!

If you bought the music from iTunes the easiest way to convert it is to record the songs to CD and then rip them to a compatible format such as MP3 or WMA.

According to the manual: "NOTE on CDs...This unit can access up to 99 tracks." I just accessed a disk with 35 songs by pushing the remote button "&gt;10" and then "3" then "5" and got song 35.

I don't know. I would ask iTunes support. They are really good about responding to questions.

No. Its as easy as copying/moving and pasting from your music folder to your hifiman player folder. Just as you'd do if the player was USB storage.

No, it doesn't work like that. What you can do is to convert your files to MP3 using iTunes (if they not converted yet) then copy them to GB-10 memory card and play along. There are plenty of backing tracks on the net so you can be whoever you wish!

You can not load a CD collection. It has a single CD drawer you can use like a standard CD player. It has AM/FM radio and a dock for the older style Apple products. I plug my iPhone 4S into it and use iTunes. It looks quite nice and adds a lot to room.

It should do so without any problem. I have transferred tons of music from my computer (from my favorite CDs) to my Coby as well as music from online outlets (like Amazon & Itunes)

I have done that so I could transfer music from one device to another. You can't play it from there like an MP3 device. But you could have it pluged into a computer or other device and play off it.

Just to clarify, music purchased from the iTunes Store will not work with this player. However, the iTunes software itself will probably work fine for managing a library of ripped music and other MP3's. (Just make sure and change iTunes' preferences to rip in a MP3 instead of AAC, if this player doesn't support AAC.) But the gift card isn't worth anything for this player.

A USB CONNECTOR. I transferred songs by buying them on iTunes and syncing the iTunes to my iPod. It would load my songs that way. You can ask Questions under help feature to walk you through
