Easy way to get music from Windows Media to itunes

I have the 30gb ipod and I have over 450 songs saved on my computers hard drive as wma files. Is there as easy way to get these into itunes other than converting one song at a time? I tried syncing my ipod to Windows Media (where all my songs are) and it states that that all songs have been synced, but my ipod is still blank. Please help me or I am going to buy a different music player that can sync to other outlets then itunes.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes for Windows can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
Importing WMA files into iTunes for Windows.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
iTunes: About the "Add to Library/Import/Convert functions.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

  • Is there an easier way to convert files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    I have many gb's of music in my Windows Media Player...now that I have an ipod I want to move the music over.

PLEASE HELP !!!!

On media player I see the artist, album etc. However, when I add the file, either as the song or whole album only the track number and song title copy to the itunes. How do I get all the other information like genre, album title, artist. If I convert to applelossless I still do not get anything and when I search AppleSTore for album art nothing happens. Please help.

    Within iTunes use the add folder to library option available on file menu. Select the folder to add. iTunes will add the file to iTunes library. Depending on settings, iTunes may copy the file to iTUnes folder location.

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

    Also, you can try the “SYNC” option in the Windows Media Player, after connecting the Reader to the Computer, for transferring the songs.

    My friends music library is on a hard drive, I can move songs to my library, they play fine on my computer.....However, when I try to move them to my i-phone, they turn to a light grey color and will not play on my phone.  They also have a circle with dots in front of the song.

  • How to transfer songs from Windows Media to iTunes

    I cannot transfer songs from Windows Media into ITunes....Can you help?

    Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
    Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
    Conversion software (mostly commercial):
    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
    Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
    Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

  • Moving music from windows media player

    i swear ive done this before, but i cannot remember how i did it. how do i move .wma files from windows media player into itunes library? i cannot drag them over, i just get the circle w/ a slash. ive tried sync-ing them directly onto my nano from media player program & it lists them in the pop up window on my computer, but they are lsited no where in song titles on my actual nano for me to access. ive tried converying the format & it wont allow me. i know it can be done, i just cant figure out how. thank you.

    First, find out where Media Player has stored the music files on your computer. It typically is in Documents and Settings\(Your Name)\My documents\My Music and then there should be a folder that has a name that resembles Media Player. If you pull up Tools>Options and click the "Rip Music" tab it will show you where you have your music stored. So then pull up this folder that it tells you to, then pull up the iTunes window as well, and then simply drag and drop the folders into your iTunes music library. iTunes will convert the songs automatically for you, sometimes this may take a while. For example, I have 3300 songs on my Hard Drive and it took the entire day for iTunes to convert all of the ones it needed to. So just be patient and you should be good to go.
