I just got an Apple Nano as a gift. &nbsp;I swore I would never buy one, because you have to buy Apple's music. &nbsp;But, someone said you can play your existing MP3s on it. &nbsp;I copied a bunch of MP3s to it, but I can't make it play them. &nbsp;Do they need to be in a particular folder? &nbsp;Or do I have to install Itunes to transfer them?<br />
Any thoughts?

Apple Nano and MP3s

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.
