Are there any good non Apple mp3 players that can actually play music files downloaded through iTunes?

Question

My Sony Ericsson K610im mobile can play some of the music files I have downloaded through iTunes.

Answer 1

There are none.  But I would look at that more as a blessing than a problem :)

Answer 2

music files from itunes are drm-laden. in order to play them on mp3 players other than ipod and iphone, you need a special program to help strip off the protection and convert the itunes m4p, m4b, m4a music to mp3. i always use tuneclone. my friend introduced it to me. it automatically generates a virtual cd burner, with which the music files can be converted at very high speed.
