How to merge music from a My Music (Windows media audio files) and iTunes?

Purchased some music from iTunes music store and I am hoping to get them on my MP3 player that is NOT an iPod. Is there a way to do this? I want to have these songs as well as songs from my My Music folder (Windows media audio files) on my MP3 player....
I know I cannot move the music from iTunes to the My music.... (well I can but when I click on them to play, iTunes comes up)
I know that iTunes is not compatible with my MP3 player....
anything besides burning a disc (which I am not sure my computer can do...)?
thanks in advance, Megan

Sorry but no, there isn't. Tracks from the iTunes Music Store (as they are with any other legal download store with major-label content) are copy protected and so can't be directly converted. The only way to get them into another format is to burn them to an audio CD, so if your computer doesn't have a CD burner, then you're stuck, I'm afraid.

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.

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.

the appletv will not display your movies in folders.
you could change the tags in itunes to include the genre in the "show" field in the "video" tab. this would replicate the view you want, but you will need to tag all your movies to do this.

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

Thanks,

Idealy the way to go is to transfer your music from your old computer to the new one and then sync with it.
However if you do not still have the computer then these are your options

Hey kaygaryras,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If you have music on your PC already, and want to import it to your iTunes library, use one of the methods in this article:
iTunes 12 for Windows: Import music and video already on your computer
Once you've imported your songs into your iTunes library, see these articles for help with syncing your iPod shuffle:

HT202662 how to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

How to transfer music from iPhone to new Windows 7 PC?

Your iPhone is not a backup/storage device. You can transfer music from iPhone to iTunes: go to ~/Music/iTunes in your previous account (I presume you mean that you made a "new account" on your Mac) and copy all its contents to somewhere in your new account (not ~/Music/iTunes). Then drag the entire iTunes folder onto the iTunes app icon.

(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>

    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

.xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone

I want to transfer my music from my old computer to my new computer and on to my iphone.
I have a Dell laptop which has all my music on it, on Itunes, and synchronised with an Ipod (not an iphone).
I have an Asus laptop which is synchronised with my iphone 4S.
I have my new Dell desktop. I have not copied any music or itunes on to it.
Ultimately, I want to connect my iphone 4s to my new Dell desktop.
I want my new Dell desktop to have all my music on it, on itunes, with the Playlists as per my old Dell laptop.
I want my iphone to have all that music on it.
But I also want my iphone to have the apps and other material that is already on it.
How should I go about all this?

can you explain how to copy from one computer to the other computer?

Separate purchased music from cd recorded music in cloud

I cannot figure out how to create a library without everything appearing from the "Cloud" which I don't understand. Is there any way to separate the purchased music from all the music copied from my CDs? I have tried creating a new library and un-checked "show I-tunes in the cloud" and end up with only one (1) song in the music library (which is only 1 of a ton of purchased songs). Can someone please make it easier to manage my music in this new version? I have spent hours on the web reading and trying but am about to give up. New technology and old people (you can't teach new tricks) to is making me crazy.
