Indeed. We didn't try to find out too hard. Fortunately there is a 'Delete All' option

Good job neither of us bought directly from forum members, they would have been well & truly rumbled!

iTunes itself can convert to MP3. Once converted, just copy them to a USB stick and delete them from iTunes.^^ What Frank said.
If you're an iTunes user there's a Mac tool called mp3 converter which will convert your entire iTunes library to mp3, including the album / track directory structure. You can then use a tool called BlueHarvest to strip out all the strange artefact files which will have appeared. Note that the Maserati system can't handle over 999 tracks, so you'll need to be selective. Oh, and you won't be able to list by artist, only by album title... so you may find your have numerous albums called "Greatest hits".
I think it's a 10gh hard drive so if your files are fairly small, that's a shed load of songs
Ah ta. In the manual I could see that track names can't be > 99 characters but couldn't see the USB limit, however I did see xxx/999 when trying to copy over and the copy was a bit random (not copying everything over). I'll do smaller batches next time.It's 999 tracks via usb. I expect that the HD will handle as many as it can squeeze in.
30Gb with ~20Gb free. Should be good for ~3,000-4,000 tracksI think it's a 10gh hard drive so if your files are fairly small, that's a shed load of songs

I've answered in the other thread mate.
Thanks - saw that, but for some reason my Jukebox doesn't recognise mp4a files, and when I convert to MP3 and copy them to the USB it seems to double up, so a 12 track album has 24 files copied across... I don't know if it's just a Mac thing?
You're probably copying over resource forks as well _whateversong.mp4a
If you open the disc once you've copied it over, you can probably see them and delete them. Bit of a PITA but more the NIT's fault than the Mac. Probably
<edit> Apparently there's a terminal command to merge them back, but given you don't need the data for the NIT it's probably not worth effort. Let's put it like this: If you understand 'man dot_clean' then you might want to give it a try. Otherwise don't

Thanks C
Am currently converting my iTunes library to MP3, and will then copy that over in chunks to the USB, which is set up with BlueHarvest to remove the ._ files...
It is a big PITA, but at least this way I will have full album names and track data... (fingers crossed!)

P.s. What's a NIT?
