I have my music library in Windows Media Player, how do I transfer it to Itunes

I have all my music in Windows Media Player,
How do I transfer it to Itunes so I can load it into my IPod
& My ITunes library

I didnt have ITunes on the old computer, I installed it on the new computer, and when you install it asks if you want ITunes to be your default music player, it imported some of the music that I transferred from the old computer, but didn't import all of it?  Does that make sense? The music was transferred to new computer using Windows Easy Transfer cable....

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

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

    Will iTunes Match locate and match my music in Windows Media Player?

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

  • 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 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.

  • Moving music files from windows media player to itunes

    when I first got my ipod, only half of my music files moved from windows media player into itunes. Is there anyway I can import the rest of the music from windows media player into Itunes? I have tried using the import function and add file or folder to library and they do not seem to work!

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • 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]

  • 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.

  • Linking music files from Windows Media Player to Itunes

    How do you link music between WMP (this is where I download my music) and ITunes without having to copy all the files so I don't need to use up hard drive space?

  • Converting music files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    There has got to be an easier way to convert these files...does anyone have any suggestions? It is only reading them as text files and they aren't. They are straight from my cd collections.
