I can't transfer unprotected music from my Windows Media Player library

I'm tryng to transfer my unprotected wma file to itunes library. I tried importing and add file or folder from "file" in I tunes. I tried placing " My Music " file on the desktop and then drag it to itunes . I transfered the WMP library once , but lost it when consolidating libraries in itunes. It converted the files and I downloaded them to ipod nano, then lost them again. Anyway to do this without burning to CD would be great. Thanks

What format was the music in? It would be either MP3, WAV, or WMA, it could in theory but in your case unlikely be also in AAC or Apple Lossless. iTunes does not support artwork in WAV files.
When music is added to Windows Media Player from a CD, typically the album artwork is not put in the music files itself but is instead stored as separate JPEG files in the folder the music file is in, this might explain things. I have not tried WMP12 but with older versions the quality of the album artwork was very poor so getting new artwork from the iTune Store as described by zsnow would be a better choice anyway as the iTunes Store has artwork at 600x600 pixels which is (was) three times as good as WMP.
If the iTunes Store does not do all the tracks and you still need to do some, you can either look for the JPEG files I mentioned and use those, or use Google to search for images and copy and paste them in to iTunes.

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

  • Can I transfer my music from a Windows formatted iPod to my new MacBook Pro?

    I just ordered a 15 inch 2.3 ghz MacBook Pro and I can't wait to get it. The only thing I am wondering is if I will have any trouble transferring all of my music from my Windows formatted iPod (8gb 3rd generation iPod Nano) to the new MacBook Pro. Should I be able to follow all the steps in this article without any problems?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

    In the iPod's user manual should be instructions on how to put the iPod into disk mode so that it will appear as an external hard drive. You can then copy your music to the Mac.

  • How do I import music from itunes, windows media player or my music onto a ipod?

    I have just got Now 83 on cd and want to download it onto my iPod touch (4th gen ios 6.1), I have iTunes and have made a playlist with the songs on, I have ripped the files onto windows media player and  i've got the songs in my music folder. What do I do now? I've tried copying the playlist and file but it doesn't work so... (10 points if good answer)

    If this is yes, you will get 10 points.
    Don't lie.
    No - exactly the opposite.
    You cannot sync the music on the iPod, from the iPod to iTunes.
    You have a choice:
    Follow lllaass's tip, mentioned in his post of 22:35 this evening. Not my preferred method, because I believe it becomes difficult to manage with a large complicated Library and an absolute nightmare if you ever need to Restore your iPod. Not to mention moving everything to a new iPod, eventually. But don't let me stop you.
    Take my advice. Put all your music etc. into one Library, using an external drive to move songs from other computers to the one computer and iTunes Library you intend to use. That way, you have one Library to work with (which you should then regularly back up onto the external drive, so that if your computer's drive fails, you can restore your Library from the most recent back up). Play counts, Playlists etc. etc. are all there, in one place. Less likely to lose some content, compared to having stuff all over the place.
    Assume that I am lying...
    Huh? What's that all about? I'm trying to help you. I have quite a few points to my name, you can see for yourself. Those points are awarded by people who feel that I've helped them, I don't put them there. You will find that I can be very caustic in some of my posts, but that's with people who deliberately come here to cause trouble. Unfortunately, there are many of them. Their posts usually start with;
    I hate Apple
    I don't like iTunes
    I bought an iPod
    they have a user name such as "Fred Linux 985"
    ...and they have no points
    (I have nothing against Linux).

  • Importing music from amazon & windows media player

    I'm a complete luddite! How can I copy music from my amazon & windows media player into itunes.

    I downloaded songs from Amazon - they came in okay - they're in a folder inside the Music folder but not in the iTunes batch of folders. I have tried Add to Library and they don't come in that way either. I go to the folder and click open and it opens the folder but doesn't import = and when I highlight the contents of the folder they don't import either when I hit 'open'. I do have Amazon pref. set to download to iTunes and I have iTunes set to copy to iTunes folder, just in case, but nothing is in those places -- for some reason neither is working quite right.
    [this is a on a Mac not windows but the answer should be more or less the same]

  • HT1711 Will iTunes Match locate music in my Windows Media Player library?

    No it will not.
    That media can be added to iTunes and then iTunes Match will find it.

  • How can I separate my itunes music from my windows media player music?

    I've tried changing the file location in preferences>advanced, but every time I open iTunes it doesn't find the library.

    Changing the location of the iTunes Media folder tells iTunes where to put new media, not where to "find" the library.

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

    Hi There
    You can only transfer purchased music from your iPod to iTunes using iTunes. However there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve your music, just do a google search or have a look on http://www.versiontracker.com
    Hope this helps

  • I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu.  Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?

    It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using.  I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both.  I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
    I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say.
