Using iTunes in Macintosh OS
Any reference to "NOMAD II" in
iTunes also refers to the NOMAD IIc
player.
The Macintosh iTunes application, included in
your NOMAD IIc package, features a
powerful interface for importing music CDs to
MP3 files, creating playlists, creating music
CDs, moving music to your NOMAD IIc
player as well as for listening to hundreds of
radio stations on the Internet.
Voice files recorded with your NOMAD IIc
(denoted by the file name extension
.NVF
) can
also be manipulated and played back with
iTunes in the same way as any other supported
music file.
You can launch the iTunes application after
installing the software and setting up your
player as described in “Setting Up Your
NOMAD IIc Player” on page 2-1.
