Where to start..?
When you buy a track or album from Apple you are actually, in effect, leasing it from them. There is no product you own. You cannot give it, donate it or otherwise transfer it to someone else. It is a licence to listen to that piece of music but no other rights usually associated with "ownership".
iTunes can read mp3 format music and add it to your library. However, music "purchased" from Apple is held in their own proprietary format and not as mp3 - meaning you cannot play Apple-sourced music on anything but Apple hardware.
If you are trying to copy "music" from your iTunes directory to a CD then it just will not work... you are not copying anything that will play in any CD player.
On top of these there are numerous reasons why her "mp3 player" won't read an SD card which is formatted on a different device. Are the two devices even using the same operating system?
There is a huge long list of why you just can't do what you are trying to do![/QUOTE]
When has that ever stopped him
Unusually helpful from you to OP. Top work
I think this is a good summary of proceedings:

If you like this track, you can rip it to MP3 and burn it on to a CD.

Spotify is a subscription streaming music service, costs £10 a month. I don’t think their free accounts allow you to download for offline listening, and even then you’ll need to install the app to do so which will limit the devices you can actually download to. Smart phone, iPads etc will be ok, generic MP3 players won’t have the app available.

From what I can read of spotify you can get a 30 day free trial of Premium which you apparently need to download songs. My thinking is that I could take out this free trial downl;oad the songs etc during this time and then cancel the monthly payments. Not sure if that will work.but worth a try.

It won’t work, well it will for the 30 day trial but after it expires you’ll have no access to the downloaded files as they are embedded within the app, you don’t actually have physical files downloaded to the device.

So, this thread is about getting advice about how to copy music purchased and downloaded from iTunes onto an MP3 player?
You got given an easy and straightforward way to do this

You then deflect into a statement about the best source to use to download music?
You haven't replied to this question
You have been told that Spotify is not the best source to use to (permanently) keep music you have downloaded - but what has this got to do with 'how do I copy music that I have bought onto an MP3 player'?
Not for the first time, I am baffled

I copied it to a usb stick then copied the usb stick via a laptop that didnt have I tunes installed on it. Spotify is just a possible alternative to download and keep music but needs Premium to do it. So I may take out the 30 day free trial Premium then download the music during this time and then cancel the subscription after 29 days.
