I'm not completely technically inclined and i've pretty much tried everything i can!
I have these songs (from Slumdog millionaire<the soundtrack>) and i've been trying to add them to my itunes list to get them on my ipod for the past week.
I've tried moving the songs to the itunes folder, tried adding them manually, tried adding them with the 'add folder' and also tried it with the 'add files' button.
The songs are in MP3 format, so i shouldn't have a problem. I've also deleted a song and it got added back...so it is adding songs...just not these.
I also recently upgrded to iTunes 7.6 i think (if that matters). HELP please. I'm ready to kill iTunes right now!
It sounds like you are doing everything right to be able to add mp3s to your iPod through iTunes.
First thing to do is to upgrade to the latest version. I don't know where you found iTunes 7.6 as being the latest, but iTunes v8 has been out for a while, and you can get it here:
... Once you get the latest version, then you can rule out an iTunes bug that has been fixed already. This way you aren't banging your head on yesterday's solved iTunes + iPod problems.
If you still have the problem, then something is certainly wrong.
You may have to contact Apple support about this. Best way, that I know of, to start on that is here:
