My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
How can can I see all the details

Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file.  WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media.  For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags.  With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied.  This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

  • I have my music library in Windows Media Player, how do I transfer it to Itunes

    I have all my music in Windows Media Player,
    How do I transfer it to Itunes so I can load it into my IPod
    & My ITunes library

    I didnt have ITunes on the old computer, I installed it on the new computer, and when you install it asks if you want ITunes to be your default music player, it imported some of the music that I transferred from the old computer, but didn't import all of it?  Does that make sense? The music was transferred to new computer using Windows Easy Transfer cable....

  • I can burn CDs from Windows Media Player, but not from itunes.  I always get Error 2131.  How do I transfer music files from itunes to Window Media Player Library?...or convince itunes to burn a CD?

    Cannot burn CD from itunes.

    The thing is, they are in the unprotected format? (
    They are protected WMA from when you RIP'd them with WMP. iTunes will not read them.
    Go to WMP Tools -> Rip Music.
    Under Rip settings, it is set to *Windows Media Audio* and most likely *Copy protect music* is ticked. This is how it is protected.
    You will need to reRIP them all from CD.

  • In order to properly play my music on my DAC with a headless mac mini, I had to "check" the tunes in iTunes. When I did that, the songs in each album were put in not their proper order. How do I restore them to their original sequence in each album?

    In order to properly play my music on my DAC using a headless Mac Mini, I had to make sure that all of the songs in "Music" were checked. To so so, I pressed the "check box." When I did that, all of the songs in each album were resequenced in not their proper order.
    How do I restore the proper order of songs for each album?

    In list view, select the album column. To choose which columns appear, select an item on the left side of the window (a playlist, for example), choose View > View Options, and select the information you want to see. You can also Control-click a column heading to select columns to display.
    The column selected determines how tracks are displayed.  For example, clicking the "Name" column displays all tracks in alphabetical order; clicking the "Album" column displays the tracks in album order; clicking the "Date Added" column displays the tracks in the order that they were imported into your library.  Columns also have a disclosure arrow at the right of the column (when selected) that you can click to reverse the order.

  • Since loading Firefox I can no longer access video replays on Windows Media Player. I get a message saying the material has downloaded but that it can't be played for reasons that are not correct

    I have been playing the video replays from Lone Star Park for years with no problem. I loaded Mozilla Firefox and now I can no longer access the replays. I get a message that data downloaded,Windows Media Player opens,but when I try to download, I get a message saying the video cannot be played. This is very important and I am thinking of removing Mozilla!

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

    I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
    Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

    In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
    I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

  • Playing iPhone music on a laptop using Windows Media Player?

    I would like to be able to play my music through my work laptop speakers when travelling. I don't want to sync music in either direction, just to be able to access & play the music files through a standard Windows Media Player. I've searched for a solution, but the only ones I've found involve jailbreaking the phone.
    The iPhone is 3G running OS 3.1.2. My iTunes files are encoded as MP3, so the file format shouldn't be a problem.
    As the software on the laptop is strictly controlled by the IT department, installing iTunes and my library is not an option.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Simon.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't expect it to be a feature of the iPhone, but do expect it to be a feature of the Windows software. After all, the Windows box can see the iPhone photos directory appearing as a removable disk... it's only software, right?

  • Can't transfer music from windows media player to itunes

    I have a ton of great music to put onto itunes from my wmp but keep getting hung up on different things! HELP!

  • Loading iTunes music onto a Lexar MP3 using Windows Media Player

    After I've purchased a song from iTunes, what do I do to load it on to a Lexar MP3 player that uses Windows Media Player? Thank you very much

    Tracks purchased from any legal download store carrying major-label content, including the iTunes Store, are copy-protected (with the exception of music on EMI's labels, much of which is also available in a higher-quality, nonprotected format) and so cannot be directly converted to any other format. You can, however, burn the tracks purchased from the iTunes Store out to an audio CD, at which point it will act just like any other normal audio CD.

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Windows Media Player for audio on one website does not load?

    I have Firefox v8.01, Windows 7 OS. On one of my websites, the Windows Media Player does not load. The audio works on IE9 but not on Firefox. I have used the same code on other sites that work just fine in Firefox, IE and Chrome. I can't fix the problem because I don't know where the problem lies? I have disabled all my Firefox add-ons which provided no solution. The site is http://www.music.articleposts.com This is a blog site and the sound code is in a widget.

    Hi Anni,
    Welcome to  discussions
    Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
    You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
    Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
    Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
    Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
    Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
    Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
    Can you view Youtube & google vids?
    • If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
    the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
    If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
    Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
    Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
    • Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
    Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
    annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
    Good luck,

  • HT1473 It seems like many commercial music CDs won't import into iTunes (copy protection?), so you can only play them from the disc, not your other devices. Am I missing something?

    More and more commercial music CDs won't seem to import into iTunes - they just spin, falter, and spit out. I would think I had a setting wrong except older CDs load with no problem. I'm guessing there's copy protection on the newer ones, which seems unfair if you want to, say, buy a CD that has bonus material not available via iTunes (and then have to buy the regular material again on iTunes). Is there a way around this? An easy fix so I can keep buying CDs when I want to? I know it's a technology that's on the way out, but it's not gone yet.

    Audio CD copy protection is relatively rare. I doubt its use is on the increase as it would be just one more nail in CD's coffin. On the few occasions I've bought CDs that won't rip I've gone straight back to the store for a refund. If the drive is attempting to read at max. speed it might help to force it to read slower (if indeed you have that as an option) and it may help to switch the error correction mode.

  • Problem using Windows Media Player 10 to put music on my Muvo V

    <FONT face=Century size=3>Please Help
    I hvae just bought a Creative Muvo V200 GB. I have tried using Windows Media Player 0 to load songs onto it. It goes through the motions and syncs ok and when I check 'removable' on Windows Media it shows that the songs are on there. However when I turn the MP3 Player on it registers 'no music'
    I tried wiping the player by downloading the firmware and starting from scratch but still get the same problem.
    Just don't like the layout of Creative so would really appreciate some advice on how to fix Windows Media.
    Thank You

    Thanks for that piece of information. Player is definitely working as I have about 20 songs on it through realplayer.
    Put a folder of new songs on desktop and a shortcut to my Muvo V200 but when I try to drag and drop it won't let me. All songs on the Muvo are in the root folder. Am I doing it the proper way? I'm afraid I'm a bit moronic when it comes to computers so if you can be patient perhaps you might like to send it again to me idiot speak.
    Really appreciate it
