  • Can I have my itunes play on my windows media player, and on an MP3 player?

    I have a library of music, videos etc on windows media player and am comfortable using it, so my question is can I export my itunes to play on media player.
    I also have several MP3 players, and would like my itunes to play on them. Everything I read on itunes if about iphones and ipods, and macs. I have just an old cell phone, MP3 players, and a PC?

    Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

    iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

  • How can I separate my itunes music from my windows media player music?

    I've tried changing the file location in preferences>advanced, but every time I open iTunes it doesn't find the library.

    Changing the location of the iTunes Media folder tells iTunes where to put new media, not where to "find" the library.
    If the problem is WMP interfering with your iTunes library then you might be interested in this: Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely

  • I can't open wmv files with Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    Unable to open wmv files using Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Are there any suggestions.
    Thanks

    macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
    I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it  to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger,  however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set  up the player in your browser.
    Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
    Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
    http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
    or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
    Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
    I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also  encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

  • Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

    I'm trying to install windows media player on my brand new macbook pro. I downloaded the .bin file and have installed Stuffit Expander. When i try to open the .bin file, stuffit opens to the progress window and tells me that its preparing but nothing happens. it just freezes on me. i've openeother .bin files with no problem. How can I open this .bin file?
    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
    Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
    If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

  • I can't save CD-Text that reads with Windows Media Player

    I'm trying to burn discs that will play on Windows Media Player showing title, artist, album name, etc., AND play in a stand alone home CD player.
    It seems like I've tried almost everything and nothing's working.
    I've saved my files as Windows PCM .wav, ACM .wav, WMA, MP3, and OGG and I can't get anything to work. I've burned them with RIFF tags AND MP3(ID3) tags. I've used up dozens of discs and I'm getting nowhere.
    I even burned up more discs trying to burn wav, wma, and mp3 files with Record Now software.
    I don't know what else I can do. Am I asking too much?
    Thanks!

    "nowhere have you mentioned whether you have checked to see that the CD-writer in your PC supports CD-text writing - not all of them do, and you should check this specifically."
    That's an astute observation. I honestly don't know if it does, and I'll have to check with Lenovo to find out. Thank you for reminding me.
    "If you want a couple of name-brand players that will read CD-text, then RealPlayer (from version 10) and Winamp (from version 5.31) will. If you want trusted ones, then I'd say just Winamp..."
    I agree with you on Winamp being the better of the two...but, I was hoping for something like iTunes or QuickTime - I'd prefer something that is already loaded on most people's computers. Do you know which players are more likely to already be on most?
    "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/howto/albuminfo_how_to.aspx tells you how to get your album info into the Microsoft database."
    Peter, I'm thinking that link shows someone how to add info to
    their player, but it doesn't allow me to set the data for everyone who plays my CD. It's a
    very informative link though. Thank you!
    "There is nothing that Adobe can do to change that system."
    They don't have to change that system; why can't they work with it? WMP
    has the ability to display CD-Text so why can't the two of them get together and work this out? I don't see it happening any other way. I mean, if Adobe doesn't do it, we're pretty much sunk.
    Thanks fellas, I've appreciated your comments and your help.

  • I can play 1 or 2 mp3 songs with windows media player, but then all sound stops. no computer sounds

    I haven't installed anything recently and for the first songs it plays perfectly.  I have very little experience with computer music files or mp3 players, so I may be missing something very basic

    Which version of WMP? AAC support can probably be added by installing a codec.
    The iTunes store no longer sells music with DRM but if you still have any it will continue to work. The problem with early versions of WMP was that by default it added DRM to personally ripped media but stored the decryption keys on the computer. It was easy enough to copy the media to a new computer but unlocking it was another story.

  • Since I put Firefox as my webbrowser, I can't get google earth to work or windows media player when serching for album info and things like that and some other progams like these that acsses the internet it won't work. Can you help?

  • Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

    I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
    Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
    solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
    Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
    Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
    I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • How can I copy my iTunes library to windows media player?

    Hi, I've spent all morning trying to consolidate all my music into Windows Media Player...so I can make playlists, etc. iTunes seems to be pretty tough....I've moved the library file around....copied, etc. and I can't seen to paste it into Windows Media Player. My itunes library has about 50 purchased songs, and another 100 from my own CDs.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting really irritable over this!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    The iTunes purchased songs will not transfer to Windows Media Player. Unless you have the iTunes Plus versions, iTunes purchased files are copy protected.
    There is nothing preventing you from adding the other files to Windows Media Player except for maybe file format. Did you rip the CDs to AAC or MP3 format. Don't know if WMP can play AAC. WMP has no problems with MP3.
    To add MP3 files to WMP just add them using WMP functions.

  • How can I upload my Itunes library to Windows Media Player?

    Hello,
    Please can someone help me.
    I want to keep my Windows Media Player library in sync with my Itunes library.
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    In WMP, go to Library > Add to Library, and make sure it is watching any folder where you have music, such as My Music. Then, as you add songs to your iTunes library manually, WMP will add them automatically to its library. (The opposite will not work, since iTunes does not have the ability to automatically watch folders.)
    Since you will be using both players, I strongly suggest you use music only in MP3 format. Also, you must absolutely avoid purchasing any tracks with DRM, since there is no DRM scheme that both players can handle.

  • WHY can't I get iTunes to import cd's that I put on Windows Media Player?

    I loaded about 100 cd's onto Windows Media Player prior to receiving my Nano. When I try to put them in my iTunes library, it gives me an error message about "protected WMA format" and iTunes only being able to convert unprotected WMA song AND advising me to use the cd. What?? I cannot re-load every cd -- that took hours and hours in the first place! HELP!

    Unfortunately it sounds as though you ripped your CDs in WMA format with the copy protect box checked.
    This means that your WMA files are copy protected and there is no way out of this in WMP except to re-rip your CDs.
    Since you own the CDs, it may be possibe to find third party software that can help you to remove the copy protection with Google, but I can't help you with that.

  • Windows media Player suddenly can't read some of my MP3, and only with one user account !!!

    Hi!
    here is my problem:
    I have a lot of MP3 in my W7 personnal computer at home. I read MP3 everyday with WMP and all was working fine, until some days ago. Some of my MP3 can't be read by WMP. I've looked at their properties, but there is nothing wrong, compared to others
    MP3 that I can read.
    The "unreadable" files are correctly read by VLC. So they are not corrupted.
    When I swtich to an other user, the same MP3 are read correctly with WMP. (Both usersd are admins)
    My MP3 are présents on two computers at home. When I connect from my second computer with a
    \\computername\c$, I can read these files. So the files are definitivly OK. But when I connect from my first computer to the second one, I can't read the MPS that have the same name! it's absolutely strange!
    I've tried to uninstall WMP, to delete all files related to WMP in my Appdata folder, I have even tried the FixIt from Microsoft, but any of these steps were helpful.
    I've copied the "unreadable" files from the Music folder to my desktop, allways the same issue.
    I've disabled my Antivirus, but without any results. I've tried the system restore, idem.
    My computer is running W7 32 bits, SP1, all updates installed regularly.
    Please help me, I want to understand what has happened!!! :)

    Hi Yolanda,
    the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
    Of course the "help" is totally useless....
    I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
    a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
    I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
    (in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
    To put it in a nutshell:
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
    on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
    on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
    from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
    \\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
    I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;) 

  • When I plug in my ipod Nano i syncs to itunes but I can't get the music from my Library in Windows Media Player???

    How can I get my music from my Library in Windows Media Player to sync to my iPod Nana?

    You can't sync an iPod using Windows Media Player.  You need to add the songs to your iTunes library first, and then sync those songs to the iPod.
    This document provides more information (Add to Library section)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347
    NOTE:  The WMA files (the file type used by Window Media Player) need to be unprotected (no DRM).  They are converted to a format supported by iTunes while adding to the iTunes library.  This WMA conversion feature only works in the Windows version of iTunes (Mac users cannot do it).
    I believe you can drag and drop the WMA files, or the folder containing the WMA files, onto the iTunes window.  The original WMA files are not changed.  iTunes creates its own converted files at the location it stores all the iTunes media files.
