I did the Mp3 thing. I'm going to blow a gasket in a minute.

I did this...

Amazon music to ipod

Good luck

Okay ill give it another shot. Is it just me on this stuff? Granted I'm in my mid fifties and wasn't brought up on a computer. Still, very frustrating how long it takes me.

Have my songs in iTunes library that I somehow transferred from my Amazon library. There is absolutely no option for me to tic that would allow transfer from computer onto iPod. I have downloaded all things to make it happen. I have other options such as creating a AAC version, short fields, ID3 tags etc..how I want it listed and every other frigging thing on the planet except means to get it on iPod.

Maybe I'm being simple, but why don't you just use the "Amazon Music" app from the app store?

I have the app from Amazon. That is where I downloaded everything the first time. You cannot send everything from there to an iPod. You can take it from there and put it in your iTunes library. Maybe I need more apps from there to get it on the iPod. I would give up except I have some Beth Hard & Joe Bonamassa blues that I want to play via reciever/speakers. My receiver only takes Apple IPod plug-ins. I haven't eaten dinner or washed. Getting close to taking a hammer to something lol.

Edited to add: Now that I think of it Apple was having tech problems when I did my account and that's why I went through Amazon to order my music in Mp3's. Maybe I should contact them again to get transferred to someone in India or Hatti that speaks bad English just to further throw me off the deep end.

I reformatted my Amazon music via drop box to listen to on iPad. Have you tried using your cloud? Android and iTunes are in different format usually but my cloud takes care of that and makes it work on both systems for me.

Thanks Roarah! Right now I reinstalled Apple iTunes music app. Will try this first and if that doesn't work I will try it your way. What a pain this is.

Oh, it looks like the download is cloud.

No, it isn't just you; I've been having the same exact issues. I used to be able to synch my music from computer to iPod without any problems but now it's a mess. I need to get one of my kids to help figure it out. They tell me iTunes has become less intuitive than it used to be. I'll have to re-read this thread and try the suggestions later when I have more time to devote to it but I'll probably procrastinate because it's so frustrating!!

Well, I have everything on cloud. How in the frig do I get it on iPod ? I have tried everything. Is there a very secret button hidden through a tunnel under an icon behind a code? I have also tried a left click ,double left click , right clicks, I have re-selected and dragged play lists. I have tried it all on iTunes. I have tried it all on Amazon. I have apps from Apple I have apps from Amazon, I have Cloud. I have stood on my head nude but wearing one shoe. It's the shoe isn't it?

It really isn't you! While technology is there it isn't perfect and changes aren't communicated automatically -- you have to search various help forums to figure out how to proceed. I still haven't figured out Spotify although my DIL says it's easy while she waves her hands around, gives me contracted, partial instructions, then admits she has to feel her way around to get music onto her iPhone. I just spent 3 hours in an online chat with Roku to resolve an incompatibility with Amazon video. Roku wanted me to contact Amazon but I knew it was a Roku issue and had to persevere to finally resolve the issue. Good luck!

You know I will actually lose a full nights sleep over this. I absolutely hate giving up on things. My momma didn't raise no quitter! I do need to go wash though. Maybe that will calm me down. Maybe while I'm in the shower I can think of ways to blame the computer instead of myself lol. I wasted a whole day.

I have a Mac. When I have my song library on the screen, (playlists), I click and drag a song off to the far left and my iPod information magically appears, as if it has been under the songs screen. Then I release, dropping the song into the iPod icon. Then a spinning circle appears which is the song being moved onto the iPod.

I just tried that but the only icon that came up said it was downloaded to my computer. There is no option or anything to allow iPod transfer. I will retry it all on the many other areas my list is on.

Nope nothing going as planned. I put a call into son asking for help. I dislike asking for help because as mentioned above some people just flutter their hands about like Liberace on crack and you learn nothing. Anyway, if you like bluesy music please watch this. Oh, and since many of you are Obama fans he and wife are in it. I have downloaded all her blues tunes and must hear it through stereo. When vid is done click on the right of youtube sceen and get more since this particular vid has sinc problems.

Just watched some youtube vids on how to do the transfer. When I have an extra 14 hours to sit and figure it out I'll be all set. The main thing is figuring out how to un-hide hidden folders, find the mysterious folder I need and unhide it and then I got sort of lost but from there there's something about a default itune folder and then documents and then tools and a backup something. What the???

A bit late to this, but did you try calling the iPod tech support number yet? I did that when I got my new iPod (shuffle) & the young man was very nice & helpful; did a shared desktop screen while on the phone as well, where he showed me w/ pointers what to do & what to click. (side note: I believe new devices from Mac are just not as intuitive as they once were. I never had to get help w/ my old iPod)

Do you know how to make a screenshot? Showing what your screen looks can be helpful for stuff like this.

You should be able to do a search of your computer for the iTunes folder, shouldn't you?

When I've purchased Amazon MP3s, I simply dragged them into the iTunes icon on the desktop(dock) & then drag those files into the iPod - which shows up in the sidebar of the iTunes screen.

I'm on iMac, tho - no experience how the Windows version of this works...

FWIW, HTH

Thanks Carol! that's what I have... Ipod shuffle. Good idea (calling Ipod tech support). That's one thing I haven't tried. At this point I do think its something to do with un-hiding something in my files and folders so as my ipod and transfer will be recognized by iTunes.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this frustration just, but I have to admit to being comforted in knowing I'm not alone. In just the last couple of weeks I sat down to sync my purchased music to my iPod (hadn't done it in quite a long time) and the old procedure didn't work. I was close to tears over it and assumed it was me and something I was doing wrong. Like you, I find it difficult to find the time (and patience!) to devote to solving these annoying techie issues. Again, good luck!!

It would't be so bad if I didn't have some sort of disorder that makes it impossible for me to give in to defeat . I'm now full blown obsessed on getting this darn thing to work. My son can't make it over for a few days so I can give it a few more cracks.

Thank you so much with letting me know I'm not the only one, you may have prevented me from completely going off my rocker.

You aren't alone Terri. I wanted all my photos to be on all of my iPads but had no clue how to make it happen. I bought a photo transfer app and it works great except now I am almost at the free limit for iCloud and have to either delete or purchase more space. Yikes!!!!

ETA: I think we have the same disorder. DH tells me I am the most tenacious person he's ever met. I think translated it means I am the most obnoxiously stubborn person he's ever met but tenacious sounds so much nicer!

Holly lol! I'm an X = parts of A and C personality. My husband is a B. We complement each other. He can't understand why I can't just walk away and call it quits and I can't understand many things about his way. In the end we keep each other balanced somewhat.

It may just be me, but I find on-line chats with tech support easier these days. I have trouble understanding them on the phone. Even if the technician is bouncing between chats, I can do other stuff while we're chatting. Plus their instructions are right there on the screen for me to question and follow -- fewer misunderstandings.

I'm going to bring the youtube video up on my kindle on how to un-hide the whatever in my files. This way I'll have a visual while I'm on the main computer and can rewind vid if need be. I didn't give a go today because I became backed up on other things while I was possessed.

In order to put Amazon Music on iPod, first I use the DRmare Amazon Music MP3 Converter to convert Amazon Music to MP3 to be compatible with iPod. Then I move the Amazon Music files to iTunes for playing on iPod with ease. Hope it will help.

I empathize with your unwillingness to give up. Unfortunately I’m of no help because all our music is either in iTunes or through Alexa/Amazon Music subscription. We purchased a few things through Apple but mostly ripped our vast CD collection.
