I believe I made no mistake.
One has to distinguish mp3 players (the small flash variety) from mp3
jukeboxes (measured in GB)... of which Apple doesn't support in iTunes
due to competition with the iPod.
If you look at the latest Creative Labs' (for example) Nomad Jukebox
2, 3 and the Zen (any model), none are supported by iTunes or any
other non-iTunes software on the Mac. If you call Creative they
complain that Apple "stopped talking to them when the iPod came
out"... if you call Apple they'll tell you that Creative needs to
write their own software. This has meant that many of us recent Mac
converts have had to keep a token PC around...
