Adding Songs I bought from Real Tunes

I've just gotten into the World of Pods, MP3, Computer Tunes, etc. I've been trying out various applications. So far I like iTunes, but I have tracks and albums I bought when I was using Real Player (.rax files). Can't I now play those songs using iTunes???
I've tried opening them using File>Add File to Library.
I select the individual files (.rax). iTunes doesn't complain. It just doesn't DO anything I can see (like add it to my library). I sincerely hope I haven't lost all those songs.
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of that. Sigh. I'm so old I remember 8-track. But I love my music. I've been thru vinyl, 8-track, tapes, CD's and now this.
I know what the problems have been with "stealing" music. I have a good friend who used to manage Styx. And Procul Harum, etc. Illegal downloading has literally put Robin Trower out of business. (It's a long story, I'm not going into it here.)
But THIS STUFF (restrictions, no adaptability, weird rights, etc., etc.) is worse. I AM NOT HAPPY!!

  • Can't play the songs I bought from iStore

    I can't play the songs I bought from iStore.
    It complain about the autorization, but how much I try it seems like I can't get this computer to get authorized.
    I login to iStore with my only login account, buy the song, and it gets downloaded. Then when I try to play the song, I asks me again about the authorization. I use the same accout login, and it reply that this computer is now authorized... again. But the songs stil can't be played.
    If I click again on the song the same loop above repeats itself.
    Frustrastion = I can't play the songs I have bought.
    Anyone?
    M.

    I, also, have that authorization nonsense (I am the administrator, and only user of the computer). But, still, I cannot make any changes. You will have to report to someone at iTunes, if you try to play the downloaded songs from iTunes.
    Which version, has it always been that way?
    Also, did you change your username/password, if things were working fine, at one time?
    I had your problem when I, originally, signed up with my AOL address. When I quite AOL, I got an Apple id, and I could not access my songs from AOL days for over three months. Eventually, someone at Apple helped me.

    I just bought a new 4S.  How can I get a song I bought from iTunes into my  Iphone Settings ringtone folder ?

    If you bought it, it will stay in your Purchased folder in iTunes.  If it's a song it won't play as a ringtone (they're different), although you can create a ringtone from it (Google "create ringtone in iTunes").

  • My ipod touch now skips songs I bought from itunes (only the ones from 2013 to now) and won't play them. How do I fix this?

    Hey folks! My iPod Touch now skips songs I bought from iTunes (but only the songs I have purchased since 2013) and won't play them. What do I do?

    First try deleting the songs and redownloading them
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Skipping Songs Bought From I-Tunes

    So I am having a problem with 4 songs from The Tragically Hip's Live At Austin City Limits Album. And I know of 3 other people and 4 different I-Pods from regular to Nano that will not play these 4 songs. It just skips right over them. The first 3 songs:Courage, Lonely End of The Rink, and Gus The Polar Bear all work fine. Then the next 4 Bobcaygeon, Poets, At The Hundreth Meridian, and Blow at High Dough will skip right through and not play a thing. All the songs play on our I-Tunes, but only the 3 work on our I-Pods. And we purchased the album through I-Tunes.
    Why wont they work?
    (And I have tried all the 5 R's and well I am still here asking the question so they obviously didnt work)

  • Loss of songs when updating from I-Tunes

    I had about 30 songs on IPOD Nano and in library of I-Tunes. Bought nine more songs from I-Tunes. The computer told me the new songs were in a different place and did I want the new file to me the main location of songs. I clicked yes.
    The 30 songs were deleted (I can't find them) and I can only see the nine new songs in my Library. Updated my IPOD Nano and the 30 songs are no longer there and the nine new songs are.
    Please advise on what happened and how to consolidate the 30 old songs and the nine new ones.

    There are two ways to update your iPod and its music. Automatically and manually.
    You were updating automatically. This means the iPod's library will look exactly like the iTunes library is is updating with. By clicking yes, you told the iPod to look exactly like the other computer (which didn't have your other 30 songs on it).
    See this if you want to use your iPod with two computers...
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    You would want to manually update...

    Now, are those songs on your original computer? They were deleted off of your iPod but should still be on your computer.

  • My Itunes library deleted all my music except two of the songs I bought from the store. They're all still on my phone, but I can't seem to be able to move them all back. I can get the music back another way, but I want to prevent it from happening again.

    I'm not sure why it deleted everything. I had rearranged and cleaned up my desktop earlier, but I know for a fact I didn't delete anything. Now, I go onto my Itunes and only two songs I bought off Itunes are there. I had more that I bought, but even the ones I took off my CDs aren't there anymore. I had over four hundred songs and they're all gone. I can put all the music back on because I have it saved elsewhere, but I want to prevent this from happening again. Does anyone know what might have happened? I really want to keep using Itunes, but its becoming more of a hassle than anything.

  • I'm trying to move my itunes from one computer to another, but in syncing my ipod to to computer, it only loaded the songs I bought from the itunes store. I have around two hundred songs which were not put onto my new laptop in itunes. Is there a way?

    I'm not sure if my question entirely made sense. Basically I had an ipod nano and itunes on my family desktop, but my nano got stolen and I got a laptop for college. I synced all of my music from the desktop to my new ipod touch to replace the nano. I was told by a friend that I would sync my ipod to up to five different computers, and that snycing my ipod would put all of my music onto the itunes I downloaded onto my laptop. I dad everything, but the music i bought from itunes has transfered. That leaves me with around 200 songs I got from CD's which did not transfer. Is there a way to get these non-intunes store bought songs into my newly downloaded itunes library?

    You can install it on your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) either by redownloading it directly on the device via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, or by connecting the device to your computer's iTunes and syncing it to it.
    Syncing apps from a Mac : iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    from a PC : iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    As to how to then use the app, if the description on the app's description page in the store doesn't describe how to use it in enough detail, then is there a link to the developer's website on its description page, and does that have details ?

  • How do i get the songs i bought from iTunes back on my iPod? When i go into downloads it doesn't show what i bought anymore.

    iTunes said i needed to update my iPod then when it was done it deleted all of my content. All of my pictures, music, apps, and downloads are completely gone. I tried to go back to where i bought the songs but they have a price next to them, like i never bought them. But my balence obviously shows i bought them. What do i do? I bought an ablum and two songs, and don't want to have to pay for them again.

  • I have two Ipod's one of my Ipod's won't sync the library over to my Mac. So i'm stuck with the songs I bought from Itunes. And I can't find a way to put them over.

    A year ago I bought an Imac to replace my broken Laptop. I have two Ipod touches. They both shared the same Library of CD and Itunes music. Until I synced the Ipod to my Itunes account on my Imac. And it wiped the CD songs from that Ipod, and just uploaded the Itunes songs. Uploading the songs Via CD isn't an option any more as I moved quite a bit, so CD's are all scratched like mad. I still have all the CD songs left on one Ipod, and when connected to Itunes I have access to the CD songs. But can't transfer them over to my Library. I'm too scared to Sync it incase I lose all my CD songs forever. Help

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is ituens purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

    Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
    iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
    That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
    Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.
