Emailing song to open with Windows Media Player

Does anyone know how to send a song from iTunes to someone as an email attachment that will be in a format Windows Media Player can open?
When I copy a song it always comes out as a Real Player file. I want it as a Windows Media Player appropriate file.

You're not going to be able to convert a m4a (which can be played in iTunes OR real player) file like that on the fly. Especially if it's a protected file that was purchased from the iTunes Store. If it wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store, you can find a converter program that will convert the files to WMA. Just google it -- I am sure they exist. From there, you can email it as a WMA.
Or, you could convert the song (if it's not protected) into an mp3 file within iTunes. The mp3 file could be email and opened within Windows Media player.

    If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match.  iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers.  It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

    Harisarah,
    You can change the default program for opening files with the following:
    Set your default programs
    Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Default Programs.
    Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
    Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.
    Click Change program.

  • I can't play movie downloads.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

    I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time.  Nothing works.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • Why does firefox send documents from yahoo mail to be opened by windows media player?

  • Safari with Windows Media Player cannot use PHP as filename/src/url

    I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with Windows Media Player 11
    and Safari 3 public beta. In addition to being the absolute
    slowest browser among MSIE, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera, the
    Safari browser has two annoying WMP defects.
    1) Even with WMP 11 installed, the code below for embedding
    can use either the classid for WMP v6.4 or v7+ but Safari
    (or rather it's plugin) always displays a v6.4 looking UI.
    All other browsers display the media player using the v11 UI
    2) Safari will not download the movie if the "filename" param
    is a web url (e.g. getmovie.php?select=1234 ) rather than the
    precise name of the movie file itself (e.g. "movie.wmv"). The
    other browsers may differ in use of the param name="xxxx", where
    xxxx is "filename" or "src" or "url" or "data" ... but Safari
    will not work using any of these.
    Has anyone successfully embedded a WMP object that uses the
    URL as a PHP page (or other server-side script) ? I have already
    my server-side PHP code that works perfectly for MSIE, Firefox,
    Netscape, and opera. Safari is the only problem browser.

    I have run into several issues pointing to what you are describing...
    I fixed my Safari by installing the WMP plugin. I am able to view visualizations embedded into a webpage, one of which I created...I am able to view videos and so on.. Before I installed the plugin, All that would load is a place holder which looked like the old WMP and would not function properly. However this is what is displayed beside the media which is embedded.
    I think that I got the plugin by going to the download page for Safari and looking for plugins. Funny thing was that the plugin that I installed was the one for Firefox on its site that nobody every installs because Firefox gets the plugin if you already have WMP11 installed. Anyway this should solve your problem...with most..
    I have noticed just now that PHP served links or applications which launch in their own window and are protected by PHP script do work but still display a lack of functionality showing the Version 6.4 that you are speaking of. I checked it out using the KDGE Live Stream which opens another window, and displays version 11 properly ( in other browsers ), the link which is served is also protected and will close any media player that tries to play it on its own. It soley depends on the script which is coded into the page or window for the player. I can see this method as useful for a corporation as large and well advertised as ClearChannel Productions, because of the lack of bandwidth and cost to the company. Several sources do this and it winds up being an issue for the website administrator and designers to take care of, or update the script, or the person who has written the plugin, which could be from a number of resource; this particular instance would be the author of the WMP Plugin for Firefox.
    For any other purpose though the plugin I mentioned above should get rid of ( MOST ) of that problem.

  • Any problems with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X?

    I want to be able to play video from CNN.com, but it says I need Windows Media Player 9. Before I download it, I want to know if it is reliable.
    I've already got Flip4Mac, and that doesn't help. (I get a -2048 error.)
    Please share experiences with Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X so I can decide whether or not to download it.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    The default application you're looking for is "Stuffit Expander".
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/ is the page you'll be looking for...think Winzip for Mac. Once stuffit is installed you should be able to open the .sitx or .hqx file you may have downloaded...essentially a package that stuffit can open for you so you can install media player.

  • Creative Zen V Plus won't sync with Windows Media Player 11?

    My Zen V Plus won't synchronize with Windows Media Player . I plug it into the USB, then an error message pops up in WMP that says "WMP has encountered a problem and needs to close" but if I just move the window aside WMP works fine. I then click 'sync" and it says "preparing to sync" but doesnt move beyond that. I have synced with WMP before, this problem has recently started occurring. I have all the firmware updates on my player, I don't know what is causing this problem.

  • BB 8220 Pearl Flip drops WiFi calls when synch music with Windows Media Player

    I noticed the 8220 crashes or drops calls if I synchronize a playlist of songs with Windows Media Player.  Strangely, if I simply shuffle the songs with no playlist, then I encounter less problems.  Is this because I don't have enough room on the media card after synchronization?  (I set a playlist and sychronize it as there are certain songs I do not wish to place on my phone.)
    I'm using: Windows XP, Windows Media Player version 11, Blackberry Desktop Manager version 5.0.1.

    I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
    The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
    Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
    Maximum capacities:
    BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 -- Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 -- Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 -- Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 -- Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above -- Up to 16 GB

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

  • Problem with Windows Media Player since installing Firefox 4.0

    Problems with Window Media Player. When I am using Windows Media Player to view a video from another source I am having problems. When I hit pause and then go back to hit play it does not have any sound. The player is not on mute and it keeps going from pause to play with no sound most times. Please help. Thank-you. I have Windows Vista programs.

    What can I do to get the Windows Media Player to work properly?

  • Problem with Windows Media Player -- saving, transferring

    Operating system:   Windows 7 Home Premium       
    Product: HP Pavilion P6000 Series
    Windows Media Player
    Copy short videos onto a thumbnail drive from a different computer running Windows 7 with Windows Media Player.    Thumbnail drive accepts files, lists and can play back fine on same computer.    Take thumbnail drive to different computer also running/using Windows Media Player & Windows 7, and playback only plays back audio -- no picture.  What am I doing wrong? 

    As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
    In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
    All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

  • Content Engine compatability with Windows Media Player

    I am currently running ACNS version 5.5 on our CE510 Content Engine. We want to set this box up to serve VOD requests from WMT. I think the clients on site are all using Windows Media Player version 10. Does this version of ACNS software work with Windows Media Player 10?

    Dan
    this brings up an interesting point. The content (which is canned Video on an Intranet Web site) is HTTP? I am wasting my time here by trying to use the Windows MP services?? Perhaps I already have what I need...
    Your comments appreciated.
