How to get my new itunes music to Windows Media Player?

I can't get my itunes music to my Windows Media Player on same computer. Used to transfer it automatically. Is there a simple way or will I need to quit itunes? Quite frankly I don't care much for the way itunes works other than it's music selection. I need simple instructions please. Thanks for any help out there....

    How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • 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 to upload I tune music to windows media player?

    There is nothing to transfer, and you don't need a CD.
    Just find the files on your hard drive and play them, the same way you would play any other files in Windows Media Player.
    If you hit a format problem, please post back.

  • How to get rid of duplicate files in Windows Media Player 11, I am seeking an answer if at all possible.

    I don't know if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question....if it is not please guide me to the correct support forum. I am just trying to find out if there is an easier way of getting rid of duplicate files in my Windows Media Player 11.
    Also how do I prevent my Media player from obtaining all these duplicate files from other libraries.  I have iTunes installed and my home network has four other computers belonging in the home group that have all their own respective music libraries. 
    I guess I was naïve but I thought that when Windows Media Player is out searching other libraries it would know not to take duplicates of songs that it has already.  Enough said .....if anyone out there can help me that would be great.  I have in
    the past spent many hours manually deleting songs from my music files and it really got old.

  • 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.

  • How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

    Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

    Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
    Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
    If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

    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.

  • Moving music from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    Hi
    Apologies if this is repeating what others have asked many times in the past - I know what these forums can get like sometimes! I have had a look around though and couldn't find a definitive answer, so...
    I have to date put all my music in Windows Media player on my PC. I am now going to buy an ipod so, obviously, I need my music in iTunes.
    Is it simply a case of copying the folders from 'My Music' into the iTunes version of 'My Music'? If so, where is the iTunes version of 'My Music'..?!
    Thanks
    Percy

    FIrst before I say anything else, As of now its only...6:30am here on the east coast USA (Which means its 3AM in California) so the event has not taken place yet. Apple is very secritive about what there doing, and anything you hear is rumor til apple comes out, says what there doing/announcing and makes it fact.
    Now that said, there has been RUMORS (So far) apple MIGHT release some type of new nano and/or video ipod along with an announcement they have made deals with hollywood to start selling movies on there US store.
    I just wanted to give you a heads up just incase you was buying today and the rumors turned out to be true. I would of utterly hated for you me or anyone to buy an ipod today, and then later in the afternoon, or tommorrow apple release a new ipod. If that happend to me... I would be Cursing up a storm (Southern slang meaning I would be REALLY UPSET LOL)
    Theres alot of news about the event along with rumors that have be heard, just not confirmed by apple yet. One of them is here
