Storing iTunes music to your Garmin Zumo 660
« on: June 30, 2014, 02:46:13 PM »
Well..........for those members who have a Garmin Zumo 660 and an iPhone with iTunes music stored on it, you will know that it's not possible to download iTunes music to your Zumo, but it's a very simple process to convert your iTunes music to MP3, and then download it to your Zumo so you can play it back through your headsets. And you still get to keep your iTunes music on your computer after it's all been done. If any member is interested in learning how this is done then send me a PM and I'll come back to you!! :grin

Even with iTunes one is able to rip their own (or borrowed) CDs and save in various file types to suit iPods, iPhones, iPads etc as well as Android or Windows based equipment . . .

I guess to each their own.............I'm a deadset Apple convert!!  After having played around with numerous Microsoft Windows systems over about 28 years, up until Windows 7 that is, I can only say the best thing I've ever done computer wise has been to convert to Apple. I really love their products, and I certainly don't have a problem with iTunes, it's not Apple's fault that iTunes music can't be played through Garmin products, to my mind that's a Garmin problem. However it's a simple process to convert the music to MP3 so it can be played...............as I said previously, "to each their own", and Brock, Samsung are an excellent product, and if I wasn't into Apple, that's where my money would be!!  Ha!! :grin

I hate Itunes. Years ago I installed it, and it worked ok  but decided that I didnt want it any more so uninstalled it. I then found that Itunes had moved my music collection fromthe My Music directory, to Itunes so the lot wasx gone. Fortunately I had it all on about 6 CDs so not lost.

ah iTunes back in the day, it is a much more user friendly program now, i am also an apple convert, my iphone and ipad does everything for me, and very simply to match it with my icloud and itunes  :thumb

the way they have changed datws usage now, i use my iPhone as my GPS, Music Player, Mapping device, Camera, and sometimes even a phone  :grin
