Almost any MP3 player will mount on the desktop of a Mac. It would be seen as a removable drive, rather like your camera or your thumbdrive.
You should be able to drag MP3 files onto the device while it is mounted. I don't think that iTunes will give you the same functionality as it would had you been using an iPod.
You could still use iTunes to organize you tracks, you would just have to drag and drop from your music folder.
I believe there are other pieces of software that will behave better with a non-ipod MP3 player.
What, if anything, do you have against the iPod? Just curious.
P
are there other mp3 players which are compatible with MACs? or iTunes? i bought one, and it didnt work very well with my MAC. which other brands or do i just have to buy a iPod?
