iTunes Connection to Music Players or DAPs
iTunes Connection to Music Players in 2 steps.
iTunes Connection to Music Players, Daps or Digital Audio Players is simplified into 2 steps below.
As a MAC or Windows user, iTunes catalogs your music and syncs directly to Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod or other iDevices. However, if your music player, DAP or audio player is not made by Apple, you need another software to sync your music to your player or DAP.
1. Sync, store and organize your iTunes music with JRiver Media Center.
JRiver, much like iTunes, is a music catalog. It is simple to use and allows you to sync music from computers or MacBooks (MACs) to music players, daps, or hi-res audio players made by Astell & Kern, Calyx, HiFiMan and Questyle.
Note: JRiver will not connect AK players or the Calyx M to a MAC but they do connect to Windows computers.
iTunes Connection to JRiver with One Time Sync - Sync your iTunes library once and use JRiver Media Center to manage your music files.
Under File, click Library then Import.
Choose the “Import a single folder’ and click Next.
Click the Browse button and locate your iTunes library under User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.
Note: You need to double click the folders to get to the desired path location.
Double click the iTunes folder under the user Music folder.
Note: Double click iTunes Media under the iTunes folder.
Note: Highlight the Music folder under iTunes Media but DO NOT double-click.
Click Open when the final music folder is highlighted.
Click Finish and the import will begin.
