Crackaly Music in iTunes not Media Player

When I play music from any source (CD, mp3, m4p) in iTunes, the music plays clearly for a few seconds and then starts to sound "crackaly". It progressively gets worse until you can't hear the music. The same songs play fine in Windows Media Player, and also play fine from my iPod once they are sync'd. I have reinstalled iTunes, and have the latest version. I have also updated my audio drivers.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this?
If not where can I get support for this type of issue?
Why does apple make it impossible to find any support phone #'s or email addresses?

  • How do I import music from itunes, windows media player or my music onto a ipod?

    I have just got Now 83 on cd and want to download it onto my iPod touch (4th gen ios 6.1), I have iTunes and have made a playlist with the songs on, I have ripped the files onto windows media player and  i've got the songs in my music folder. What do I do now? I've tried copying the playlist and file but it doesn't work so... (10 points if good answer)

    If this is yes, you will get 10 points.
    Don't lie.
    No - exactly the opposite.
    You cannot sync the music on the iPod, from the iPod to iTunes.
    You have a choice:
    Follow lllaass's tip, mentioned in his post of 22:35 this evening. Not my preferred method, because I believe it becomes difficult to manage with a large complicated Library and an absolute nightmare if you ever need to Restore your iPod. Not to mention moving everything to a new iPod, eventually. But don't let me stop you.
    Take my advice. Put all your music etc. into one Library, using an external drive to move songs from other computers to the one computer and iTunes Library you intend to use. That way, you have one Library to work with (which you should then regularly back up onto the external drive, so that if your computer's drive fails, you can restore your Library from the most recent back up). Play counts, Playlists etc. etc. are all there, in one place. Less likely to lose some content, compared to having stuff all over the place.
    Assume that I am lying...
    Huh? What's that all about? I'm trying to help you. I have quite a few points to my name, you can see for yourself. Those points are awarded by people who feel that I've helped them, I don't put them there. You will find that I can be very caustic in some of my posts, but that's with people who deliberately come here to cause trouble. Unfortunately, there are many of them. Their posts usually start with;
    I hate Apple
    I don't like iTunes
    I bought an iPod
    they have a user name such as "Fred Linux 985"
    ...and they have no points
    (I have nothing against Linux).

  • HT1660 how to move music from itune to media player

    installed i-tunes,why does new music not show up on windows media player?

    @Bodner
    Are you trying to copy songs with a .wma extension? If so, these files are not supported by the iPhone (wma is a Windows Audio format) so you would not be able to play them.
    If your songs are in a DRM-free format, such as MP3, then the easiest way to copy these would be by importing the library into iTunes and then transfering them to the phone.
    If you do not want to use iTunes, there is unfortunately no easy way to copy your media files.

  • 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.

    Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

    Qcurly,
    Probably your menu bar is hidden.  To reveal it, click the triangle by the half-shaded box at upper left and click on Show Menu Bar (as piictured).  This will reveal the menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc.

  • Movies itunes or media player

    I have a free download of a digital movie and they are asking me if I want itunes or media player.  Can they both play on the playbook?  Is one better than the other?  It is a legit copy but I can only download it once.  I am hoping that once dowloaded I don't have to change the format in order for it to play on the playbook.  Please help me!
    Solved!

    Do they tell you the format it is in?

  • How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player?

    How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player.  I used to just drag them over but I won't let me anymore.

    You should be able to download a codec that will allow Windows Media Player to play non-protected AAC files from the iTunes library. I believe this function is built in to WMP for Windows 7 and 8.
    See this post for general tips for sharing media between WMP and iTunes libraries.

  • Linking music files from Windows Media Player to Itunes

    How do you link music between WMP (this is where I download my music) and ITunes without having to copy all the files so I don't need to use up hard drive space?

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • Moving music files from windows media player to itunes

    when I first got my ipod, only half of my music files moved from windows media player into itunes. Is there anyway I can import the rest of the music from windows media player into Itunes? I have tried using the import function and add file or folder to library and they do not seem to work!

  • Downloading iTunes into PC that has music in folders from Media Player....

    I downloaded iTunes into a PC that has LOTS of music in files from Windows Media Player and other music software. Download went fine...and then, the music started to import from those files...
    and ALL of it copied twice into iTunes...
    I did note it copied from the original files AND created an iTunes library.
    How can it get it NOT to do the the songs twice?
    I have since uninstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes library.
    Thank you,

    Hello there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    It all depends on if you have a Mac or PC with how you copy your music over. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your new computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer." From there, restore your iPod and sync it with your newly enlarged library.

    No it will not.
    That media can be added to iTunes and then iTunes Match will find it.

  • Converting music files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    There has got to be an easier way to convert these files...does anyone have any suggestions? It is only reading them as text files and they aren't. They are straight from my cd collections.
