You need to find the mp3's on your harddrive and drag those onto you SD card. iTunes does not copy to SD cards without 3rd party software installed that is meant to do that.

But be warned, once you copy over a bunch of files to the card Mac OS X will create a bunch of invisilble files on your SD card that you will not see when its mounted on your computer, but when you put the card in the nav all these files that look like duplicates of your mp3 will show up.

I use a little utility called Blue Harvest to "clean" my sd cards of these invisible files before ejecting them, works great:

I use a program called SyncTunes that will take your iTunes playlists and sync them to your SD card. Will also create playlists for you and even convert file formats if needed.

Best of all, it's FREE.

Hey Dude,

Use SyncTunes to move songs to an SD card from MAC iTunes play list.

Really good write up at NAVplusat:
