Well, that was a cute but not particularly useful suggestion.

iTunes will not recognize it the way it recognizes an iPod, so
managing music with an Apple device would be a lot easier.

However, if you have your iTunes music as MP3s (I have no idea
if the CLIP will play AAC), you just need to manage it all by
hand.

The CLIP player should be showing up on your desktop as a
regular filesystem - just like a flash drive or hard drive
would. In iTunes, you can right-click on any track and select
"Show in Finder". That will take you in the Finder to where
the actual MP3 file lives. Drag and drop the MP3 file onto
your CLIP player and you should be good to go. It's a pain
in the butt compared to how you'd do it with an iPod, but
there's no reason you shouldn't be able to make it work.

Drag tunes from iTunes to the SANSA icon on the desktop.

What do you use to store music on your computer ;)
I found some help on sansa.com and it looks like the problem is, that
SANSA CLIP don't understand the AAC format. I have to convert everything
to mp3 format and to copy it by hand.

Thanks for your hints!
