I Tunes - Motorola Q Forum

Is there any way to get I-Tunes into the Q

Not yet because Apple does not make any programs that will be supported in the .CAB format. This is what WINDOWS runs there Windows Mobile programs on. You want something like iTunes you will have to probably wait for iPhone to come out.

If you don't like that then wait for someone to write a program for WM5 that "looks" like iTunes.

You'll probably never see iTunes on your Q. There was a rumor about iTunes for Windows Mobile, but it was a scam.

However, I'm sure there will be skins released for some audio player that mimic the iTunes interface. Also note that your Q will not be able to play music purchased through the iTunes Store (unless you burn them to CD and then re-import into iTunes).

There is of course rampant speculation about the iPhone releasing next week.

Dare I say, if that does come to fruition, whatever mobile carrier gets dibs on it will hit a gold mine. Not because it works, not because it's a good idea... but just because it will instantly be the next big thing. I almost would rather see the Zune get cellphone capabilities than the iPod.... but that's just because I hate everything fruity... hah.. maybe that could be the name of the new iPhone website :-p www.everythingFruity.com

From your post to Microsoft's ears. They already said a Zune will be coming with phone capabilities. Check your local BestBuy in 2010.

This was on aMobileMe.com -- very funny.

I use a free program called ORB. I can access all the iTunes (Mp3's) in my home computer from the Q. (along with documents, video, watch live Tv, etc)

I also copy the Mp3's to the storage card and play them in Media Player.
I think the phone has a SERIOUSLY WEAK stereo speaker set up, however. The volume is just not loud enough. (headphones w/adapter work fine)

Not sure if this is what you are looking to do, FWIW.

Using ORB, will it play items you purchased from the iTunes store?

Res-Q-Me · 01-04-2007, 12:32 PM

The iTunes purchased songs do not show up through ORB. I hear they must be burned to a Cd first, and then put back into the computer first. I haven't tested it yet. It brings up all other music in your iTunes collection though.

Itunes makes me want to stab my computer. Multiple times!

Krunk83 · 01-08-2007, 08:57 PM

when I try to import all my music into windows media player on my comp. it'll show all the files but only import some of the songs. I can't get them all to WMP which sucks and is annoying. Any ideas? or is it because Itunes is retarted and thinks you are cheating them out of money?
