Mac people. Quick question. I plugged my mp3 player into the isb port. Where do I go to see it?

[JVS]

On a PC I'd go to my computer and see the device there. What's the mac way?

1. It should come up

as an icon on your desktop.

2. If you have a Sony mp3 player and plug it into a USB port you won't see anything unless you have

Windows Media Player 10,11

6. They had Mac versions but they stopped at version 9, I think

Mac OS X

Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X

Version 9 was the final version of Windows Media Player to be released for Mac OS X before development was canceled by Microsoft. WMP for Mac OS X received widespread criticism from Mac users due to poor performance and features.

lots of Sony players use MTP and I'm not sure if it's going to work with a MAC

The Media Transfer Protocol is a set of custom extensions to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) devised by Microsoft, to allow the protocol to be used for devices other than digital cameras, for example digital audio players such as MP3 players, and other portable media devices, for example portable video players.

Media Transfer Protocol (commonly referred to as MTP) is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. Windows Vista has built-in support for MTP. Support for Media Transfer Protocol in Windows XP requires the installation of Windows Media Player 10 or higher. Apple and Linux systems do not support it natively but have software packages to support it.

9. I don't know why, but sometimes it takes a few minutes to show up.

Check the desktop, check applications, check the left side menu in iTunes.
