(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"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
        <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>

            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

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.

Importing Windows Media Player playlist into itunes is possible?

Please Help!
Is there any way to import a WMP(*.m3u, *.txt or whatever) playlist into iTunes?
I just want to know it is possible or not, because I am tired of making same playlists for WMP and iTunes everytime for several devices.

Yes, though as I recall iTunes wants absoulte file paths. You either need to edit the playlist before import or use a script I wrote called ImportM3U which, as a bonus, can convert any unprotected WMA files on the fly and add them to the playlist.
BTW, if you're going to try to get WMP & iTunes to share playlists you'd better disable any options for automatically organizing files. See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for more info.

Converting WinAmp (M3U) Playlists Into iTunes (XML) Playlists

Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me out with suggestions on converting my old WinAmp (.m3u) playlists into usable iTunes (.xml) playlists?
I have Windows XP Pro (with the latest Windows updates), and a brand new iPod 160 Gig Classic.
I have used WinAmp as my media player for the longest time. The reason that I haven't created playlists in iTunes is because:
It took me years to customize these Winamp playlists exactly how I want them (you know how that is).
iTunes is a huge program that tends to takes up too many system resources on my PC. I have an older PC, and don't have the time or money to invest in a new system, copy files, set it up, etc.
iTunes somehow modifies an mp3 whenever it is played in iTunes ( I can see that it has been modified in the "Date Modified" column, where my mp3 files are located).
Historically - up until the last year or so, iTunes has not had too much of a problem faithfully importing my Winamp playlists into iTunes (to be transferred onto my iPod).
So, I just got off the phone with Apple Technical Support, Tier 2. I told him that I had the latest version of iTunes (version 10), installed yesterday.
I successfully imported my 90 Gigs of mp3's into the iTunes "Music Library" without a problem.
The problem arose today when I tried to import one of my WinAmp (.m3u) playlists into iTunes, so that I could copy the playlist over onto my iPod. I've done this dozens of times. I've already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes.
Like I said, I really want to keep these playlists it took a long time to customize the occurrence and frequency of favorite mp3's into those playlists.
The technician said that the latest release of iTunes won't work with Winamp (m3u) playlists. I asked him if he thought it would work again if I downloaded an older version of iTunes. He said that with the new iPod Classic that I have, it will not work with older versions of iTunes (I have no idea why), so that's out. He suggested Googling an "m3u to xml file converter."
I checked on Google and saw a lot of programs that will convert xml files to m3u file format (for reasons unknown to me), but I haven't had any luck online finding a file converter that will faithfully convert my WinAmp (.m3u) playlists TO iTunes (.xml) playlists to use instead, and make iTunes run smoother. Any suggestions?*
* Keep in mind that I'd really prefer to convert my m3u playlists, rather than create all new iTunes playlists from scratch.
Thanks.

I went back an read some of the comments and it sounds like it only works with older versions of WinAmp.
Try this http://www.topdownloads.net/software/m3u-to-xml-xspf-converter_2_39472.html
or this python script http://users.musicbrainz.org/~matt/xspf/m3u2xspf
or http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Convertors/M3UtoXSPF.shtml
Not sure this one will work since it is looking like the latest iTunes no longer supports m3u file sbut worth a try see http://www.burroak.on.ca/m3u2itunes.html

How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

I found out an easy way....
With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears.
iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file. Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file. The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund". This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great. I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0). It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.

Importing Winamp playlists into iTunes

Hey all,
I'd like nothing better than to make iTunes my default music player. Only problem is, I have a bunch of playlists that I created using Winamp, and when I import them into iTunes my library suddenly shows duplicates for each song that's in the play list. With more than 2,600 songs in a single playlist, that's a big problem.
The Winamp playlist is in the M3U format, but Winamp makes it possible to save lists in several other formats as well. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Thanks for helping if you can.

I made a playlist on my iPhone, How to I import that playlist into iTunes

I created a playlist on my iPhone. Now I want to import that playlist to iTunes. It's not automatically synced. Not to mention, when I export the playlist (right click, select export) and then drag that playlist into my iTunes playlist list it's blank... I need help. This should be eaiser than this.

I was having the same problem and after some research online I found this and it worked:
1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes.
2. Right- or ctrl-click on the name of the iPhone playlist you want
3. Select Export...
4. Change the format to XML and save
5. In iTunes go to the menu File>Library>Import Playlist...
6. Find the playlist you'd just saved and... bingo.
If you've changed any of the info on any tracks in your library since creating that original playlist it may have difficulty finding a few of them. If so it will let you know, but you'll get everything else. Good luck!
Hope it works with you.

How to import media in bulk into iTunes v11

New to iTunes. have a ton of ripped CDs that I purchased & ripped. Cannot figure out how to get iTunes to see them. They reside in their individual (by artist) folders under the iTunes folder.
Running Win 7 PC
I've tried:
- Resettin the default directory
- Importing (only allows 1 file at a time)
- Click/Dragging from Explorer into iTune (doesn't work)
- Adding a FOLDER to a library (this option doesn't appear - at least in v11)
In short is there a way to simply get iTunes to 'see' my media? I copied it under the default dir - but still does not see it. I've read about CONSOLODATE - but this seems to only be available if the songs are already in iTunes.
as you can see - I've exhausted a lot of tips/options but still hitting a wall
Any/all help much appreciated.
Bob

Import Songs and Playlists Into iTunes 10.5 From Existing iTunes Library

Hi Everybody.
I am sure this is easy but it hasn't worked for me.
I had to install a new hard drive and installed iTunes 10.5 onto it.
I now want to import my songs and playlists from my external drive into iTunes.
I tried to consolidate library but only 1800 of 7000 songs came over.
None of the playlists come over when I import playlists except 90s music, classical music, music videos,etc. ie none of my playlists.
Am I missing the obvious here.
Please help becuase I have tried around 40 times!

does your computer got Quicktime? if not then that might be the cause of it as i've got my issue solved by installing it.
hopes this help.

Can I Import a Playlist into iTunes 2.0.4?

I have kept my G4 bootable in OS 9.2.2 as well as OS X. Using iTunes v2.0.4 I can "export" a playlist which iTunes v5.0.1 can read by using "import". However, that same playlist seems unuseable on another Mac which also runs iTunes v2.0.4. Additionally a playlist "exported" from iTunes v5.0.1 seems to be unuseable in v2.0.4.
I guess my main point is that v2.0.4 can export a playlist but cannot import one from the same version or higher. Or have I just not found the command for importing a list into v2.0.4?
If you can export a list, shouldn't you also be able to import one?

I cannot import windows media player files into itunes.

Can anyone recommend a way to convert wm files so I can import into itunes?
Thanks
Alexi

You need to use a tool such as Switch on the Mac; iTunes on Windows will handle the conversion itself. The Windows version of iTunes won't convert protected WMA files, and no Mac software will.

Import playlists into iTunes 10.4.1.10

Hi everyone,
I have been using iTunes and MusicIP Mixer together for years, with MusicIP Mixer generating my playlists. I like to do this because I have a large music collection & can generat a playlist of about 100 songs to listen to each day. However, the lastest update to iTunes no longer seems to support this. If I just try to send the playlist to iTunes, I get an error message, attempts to import the .m3u file creates a blank playlist and nothing at all seems to happen when trying to import the ..xspf file. I am using Widows 7. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Ali

...after some tries I fixed the problem by creating a new library....
The reason was:
In case your iTunes library is on a NAS do never go on the library with two different iDevices at the some time: it will destroy your library in that way that you will have only read-only access on your own mediathek !
