Importing wma files from pc to itunes

I currently have several wma files on my laptop in my music library, and would like to put them in my itunes library. itunes wants to convert the files to aac and cannot because the wma files are protected. I do not have the original cd's and still want to put songs in itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Just a note; my laptop runs Windows 7 home, the files exist on my c drive and in my music library.

cannot because the wma files are protected. I do not have the original cd's and still want to put songs in itunes.
Are you able to burn those files from WMP to an audio CD, jetem?

  • Split & Import WMA file from windows to mac

    I have bought several wma files online that are rights managed that I want to play on my ipod. A few days ago, I found a workaround to getting them from the internet to my ipod - download file on the windows side of my mac (I have XP installed and use boot camp), play for a few seconds on the windows media player to acquire the license, burn to CD and then go back to the mac side and use CD to download songs to itunes, then to ipod. Works great except for this problem:
    I just bought a file that is too large to get onto an audio CD. I am trying to use software to split the file but I think the license is preventing me from doing this. Anyone have a suggestion?

    I'm not sure that solves my problem. I still have to start on the windows side to acquire the license by playing the file a few seconds on a windows media player. Then I have to burn the file onto an audio CD in order to import it into itunes on the mac side. My problem is the size of the file is preventing me from burning it onto a CD. I'm not sure how a program like Switch would help.

  • Importing WMA files from an Olympus Voice Recorder

    I am considering the purchase of a digital voice recorder, possibly one of the inexpensive WMA recorders from Olympus.
    I would like to be able to import the voice recording files onto my Mac, possibly for editing them in Garage Band. I may make podcasts or other voice-message multi-media projects out of the recordings.
    I heard in another forum that the WMA files may be problematic to import onto my Mac. Does anyone know what the issues are? What are the possible fixes? Any freeware that can convert these kinds of files to something useful on the Mac?
    A couple of possibilities I'm looking at for handheld voice recorders:
    Olympus VN-6200 PC (nice deal on this model on the web)
    http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1459
    Olympus DS-40 (I found a nice deal on this one as well)
    http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1277
    Thanks in advance,

    The primary issue is that Mac OS X does not natively support WMA, so you will have to convert the WMA files to another format before they can be played. Possibilities for conversion include EasyWMA or QuickTime Player and the Flip4Mac import codec (not the free version).
    I'm not aware of any freeware for Mac that can convert WMA, though I can't say that none exists.

  • How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

    How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

    Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'.  The required folder cannot be found."  CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

    I have the same problem.  I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'.  I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in.  I have seen no fix for this problem.

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

    Many Thanks!

    ITunes will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. If they're not copy-protected, though, you may be able to convert them with EasyWMA (freeware) or Sound Converter ($10.00 US).

  • How do i import excel files from my pc to my iPad 2 numbers app

    i was able to import PDF files from my PC to my iPad; however, if i try the same method to import Word or Excel docuements, the files do not import after i sync.
    Successful method to import PDF files form my PC to my iPad:
    open iTunes

    click on Apps
    select PDF app under File sharing
    click on Add
    select file from appropriate folder in my PC

    this method does not work for word or Excel docs
    I am selecting Numbers and Pages respectively
    your help is greatly appreciated.

    You could use Icloud to do it.
    Turn on Icloud on your ipad in settings, icloud. You can have everything off if you want in icloud, but documents and data turn ON. Then on your computer go to www.icloud.com. * Click Iwork, numbers. Then just drag the files into there.
    *Install the plug in if its a pc.
    Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.
