And is there a way to use a Sony NW-A3000 or any other non-drag and drop device except iPod compatible with a mac? This is one of the biggest turnoffs that keep me from getting a mac.

A long time ago, there was a plug-in to use iTunes with Creative devices on the Mac. AFAIK the entire Zen range uses pretty much the same communications protocols to fill the player. It may be worth a hunt. Go to nomadness.net or the Creative support forums and ask.

Creative officially stop supporting the Mac after NJB1. Although there's been a few players that reportedly work like the early NuVos, I think you're asking for trouble if you go Creative. Stick to devices that have at least some Mac support. Lots do like iAudio, Rio, etc.

Creative doesn't officialy support Mac, but there are programs for the Mac that work with their players like

^does this program let creative media source be compatible to mac or is it a program that is like creative media source that can be used on a mac? (so u dun need CMS anymore)

 

[davidd]

it's a separate program that doesn't use creative's media source at all
