Add musicmatch songs I purchased to itunes library??

add musicmatch songs I purchased to itunes library?? when i try it tells files are protected.

Songs purchased from MusicMatch are in WMA format, and are protected using a Microsoft DRM scheme. Songs purchased from iTunes are in AAC format, and are protected using an Apple DRM scheme. Presently, neither player can play songs purchased from the other.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • New PC, worried about losing songs/pics with new iTunes library

    NEED HELP!
    I have the SAME PC - I changed from Windows Vista to Windows XP.
    While I had Windows Vista, I put songs I had on my PC into iTunes to then add to my iPhone 4. I also have the iTunes purchased songs on my iPhone. One day I accidentally deleted my purchased songs from my phone, on my phone and just had the list of songs from my PC on my phone to listen to. At this point I was beating myself up because I thought I lost all the songs I paid for. I changed the Windows version on my PC. Downloaded iTunes, signed in, connected my iPhone and was able to get all my purchased songs back on my phone, whew...awesome!
    Now, I am wanting to sync items from my phone to the iTunes library on the Windows XP version. I have already did the "authorize this computer" and got a message that I can only authorize 5 computers and now that I have authorized 2, I have 3 left...funny cause I only have 1 computer. But I still can't get my iTunes to reflect all the songs from my phone to my library on the PC. iPhone seems to sync to new PC, but when I try to upgrade to iOS 5.0, I get a question box that says I;m trying to upgrade to another library and if I agree to this it will erase everythign on my iPhone....sure don't want to do that. I don't want to loose the songs I have already purchased. I don't care if I loose the songs not purchased from iTunes that I had placed on my phone from my music files PC when it had the Windows Vista.
    I just want to be able to use my iTunes the way I did before I changed from Windows Vista to Windows XP and not erase everything...I dont want to loose my contacts/pictures/apps/purchased songs from my phone. Please help!

    How can i do this on a new pc without losing all the music, photos, contacts and apps etc from my phone.
    First, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Then follow the instructions here.

    I've tried and tried to import them rom iTunes vis "Library"  " Import"

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    Your question has probaby been answered already because it was posted a month ago but anyways what you do is you plug your phone into your computer. Next you want to open iTunes and click on File. Then you go down to "Transfer Purchases from *your name* iPhone". Then just wait for it to sync and you should be good.

  • I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

    I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
    1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
    2) Erased phone and restored from back up
    3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
    4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
    5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
    6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
    7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
    8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
    9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
    10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
    11)  I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
    After all of these things it is now WORSE!!!  My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out.  My conclusion is i have no clue at this point!  I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!!  PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!! 

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker.   Can anyone tell me how to do that?

    I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
    Does anyone know if that is possible to do?   If so, would you please tell me how to do that? 

    Hello, a1p2r3. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.

    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

  • Some songs listed in my iTunes Library won't play

    I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.20 on Windows XP SP3.
    My iTunes library is set to be located in the default place, i.e.
    C:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    It's fairly large (11833 songs to date).
    I regularly sync my 160GB iPod classic with it.
    Recently I have been finding that various songs listed in my iTunes library will not play - if I click to play them, nothing happens.
    If I right-click on them (Get Info) and follow the listed path to where they are in my library, I go use Windows Explorer to access the underlying MP3 in a different application (e.g. WinAmp) and the MP3s do seem to be present and correct and play fine in WinAmp.
    So far all the songs this has happened with have been ones which were ripped off my CDs to MP3 before I got the iPod, and subsequently imported into iTunes.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to repair it?
    Obviously, I can manually delete the songs that won't play from iTunes, then re-import them all over again from the original CD..... but this is a bit time-consuming (especially where I have customized the metadata and artwork beyond what is in the Gracenote® database)....and with over 10 thousand songs in my library, there's no way to test them all easily to see which ones work and which don't.
    Is my library getting corrupted in some way?
    Is there a way to rebuild it somehow? (without losing my customized metadata and artwork?)

    Yes, actually lots of folks. iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about MP3 tags and won't play or even add them to the library if it doesn't care for their format. They may have played in previous versions, but won't now.
    Use Mp3 Validator to fix any tag issues. It's a free DL. I've used it, and it works.
    Just try it on one song and you'll believe!
    Here is a good web article on it:

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • Why would a song I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match?

    Why would two songs I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match? Both are part of a total album and the rest were uploaded okay.
    Thx
    ed

    Are they old songs that you may have purchased from a different store id years ago?
    If your have old purchased songs that are drm protected and they are not associated with the store id that you are currently using then they will not be eligible.
    I would burn to a disc and then rip back to your library.
    Burn to the cd.  Deletel the old files from your libary and delete the files don't keep them.  Rip the cd back.
    After you have tested the ripped songs back then empty your trash, or back up the old drm protected songs in a seperate folder.

  • HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop  iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

    Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
    With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
    Am I missing something?

    If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.
    Regards.

  • When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

         When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
    and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
    on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
    manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
          I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
    any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
    of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
    frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.
