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.

  • How to transfer songs from pod to new itunes?

    I've recently converted to mac, absolutley amazing. anyways...I've owned an ipod for quite some time. The music on my ipod is not saved in any sort of library, not even on my old pc. Everything is all on my ipod.
    My question is, how do I transfer all my songs on my ipod into a new itunes library?...permanently in that library for my audio leasure...

    I have this phobia of connecting my ipod to the macbook, everything is going well until itunes decides to be a pain and boom erases my entire music collection. hahahha. In order to put music on my ipod via itunes i'd choose to not sync and manually do my thing? Since I have nothing in my itunes library if I chose to sync, would that erase songs on my pod? Thinking about getting anapod explorer for mac, anyone familiar with this file transfer program?

  • Transferring songs from Windows Media Player and others to iTunes

    G'day folks,
    First of all - great stuff this forum! Had some issues with my new Mini but finally got it up and running thanks to the Q&A's here. One thing I couldn't find though, and that's how to transfer songs from my media player to iTunes.
    Here's the thing: First time I installed iTunes, it automatically started importing songs from Windows Media player (harddisk?) to iTunes - happy days! It all went sort of slow though and at one point I had to leave the house so I switched off the comp, assuming it'd get on with it again next time.
    However, it didn't. Now I've been trying over and over but I cannot manage to get more songs imported into iTunes. Any suggestions?
    Also (minor problem), in iTunes I can see a LimeWire directory, with all the songs in there I downloaded ages ago through LimeWire (sorry, I know it's wrong, shame on me, this was before my iPod era). I can play these songs in iTunes, but not send them to my Mini. Any ideas or is this impossible?
    Thanks a million for helping out!

    iTunes will convert WMA files as long as they are not protected. See this.
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format.
    You'll end up with a set of duplicates so you can delete the WMA files if you no longer want them.

    How to transfer songs from one iPad to another iPad using iTunes?

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy

    Restore them from the recycle bin if they are there, or your backup, or find an unerase or file recovery tool, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one.

    how to transfer songs from iPhone to mac

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the phone to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites and/or copied from other sites, then if you haven't got a copy of them on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the phone.
