mac files to pc based mp3 player

[jschwell]

i have an mp3 player that uses a sandisk flash memory card. the device formats the card internally to DOS_FAT_16. it is supposed to be compatible with mac os x. when i plug it into my usb the disk mounts and i can copy mp3 files to it but when i go to play them both forks of the mac file (even the invisible "._" fork) show up in the display. it stumbles on the invisible fork and i have to manually skip over the "._" file fork to get to the playable fork. i have seen methods described for accessing and discarding the "._" fork in osx but i can't get any of them to work. any suggestions? how about software, preferably freeware or shareware, that would make the files compatible?

Hi buddy!

I´ve got the same problem. It´s sucks. Why Itunes i´snt compatible?? Apple Sucks!!!
I found a pathway. I´,m using a shareware called THRUPP. It´can downloaded at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com

It´s not the solution, but... For that one who use PCs and Itunnes there´s a plugin for itunes (why not apple?) called BADFRUIT. it can downloaded at: http://itunes.pluginsworld.com/plugin.php?directory=apple&software=itunes&plugin=930&plug=badapple

You could zip the mp3 files using stuffit on osx and then unzip them on xp or whatever.

You might run this after copying to the card:

WinFSCleanser 2.1 (versiontracker.com) is well thought of.

I get the same on my W8001 Phone. You can not always delete them from the Phone either. Ill try the solutions from versiontracker, but why would you zip them on a mac and unzip on a PC?

Thanks
