Depends what they are.
If they are MP3s, just add them to your iTunes library.
If they happen to be protected WMA files, they will not work in iTunes, but you can use Windows Media Player to burn them to an *audio CD.* Think how handy it would be to have them on an *audio CD.*

    i have all my music stored in windows media player. and when i go to import it to my itunes from there it wont let it happen. it actually does nothing. i have over 400 songs that i would like on my ipod but have no clue on how to get it there. help!!!

    Are these protected WMA?
    If so, you will need to burn them to an audio CD first.
    If they are not protected, you can darg them to iTunes and they will be converted.

  • Import library and playlists from Windows Media Player without duplicates

    How do I import all the music and playlists from Windows Media Player into iTunes without creating duplicates?
    I add the folder containing all my music to iTunes and all my music arrives nicely. I begin importing playlists and the playlist comes over with all the songs duplicated in my library. Most of my songs are on playlists but some are not.
    After adding the music folder (approx 7000 songs) then all the playlists, my iTunes library now contains over 13,000 songs. The increase is due to the duplicates being created as the playlists are added.
    If I skip adding the music folder and just add the playlists I get most of my music without as many duplicates but I am missing the songs which are not on any playlist. Thanks.

    If it' sprotectged WMA files, no you can't add them.
    If they are plain WMA (like RIPped from a CD) you can File -> Add to library and iTunes will import and convert them.

  • Import music from windows media player to itunes

    I can't import my mp3 files from window media player to my ipod. Can anyone tell me in detail how this is done?

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

    File -> Add folder to library and select the top level folder where your music is located, most likely \Music\.

  • Playlists from windows media player into itunes.

    I used import playlist and it doesnt work. Like my computer doesnt even register that i clicked that. Help please!

    Open itunes.
    First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
    Then go to file menu, go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder go to "add folder to library". Go through folders to find the songs (usually in "My Music" )
    Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. To select more than one song from a folder, click the first one, hold shift, then click the last song you want to select.
    A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs).
    It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
    Hope this helps

  • How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

    How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

    Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer from Windows Media Player to ipod?

    I have recently brought my first ipod and need help transfering my libary onto my ipod.

    Hello bountyboy,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The first thing you will have to do is import the music that is currently in your Windows Media Player library over to your iTunes library because that is the only way you will be able to sync any music to it. Here is an article that provides instructions on how to do this: [Transfer Music from Windows Media Player to iTunes|http://www.jakeludington.com/askjake/20080329_transfer_music_from_windows_media_player_toitunes.html]
    From there, you will be able to set your iPod up to sync the music and such however you wish. If you need more help on how to sync the music to your iPod, I think this Apple support document should be able to assist you.

  • 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.

  • Stoped Import form Windows Media Player, Cant Restart

    I finally instaled Itunes yesterday and about 600 songs into my 1000 i accendently closed itunes and a now i can not get the import and the WAV convert stoped. Could someone please tell me how to get it back going again.

    iTunes cannot import WMA protected songs.
    Are these CDs you imported into Windows Media Player (WMP)?
    If so, you will have to reimport them into iTunes from the CD.
    Also, open WMP, Tools -> Options.
    Select the Copy Music tab.
    Deselect Copy Protect Music.
    This will keep from apply DRM to any music you import using WMP.
    This should not be a problem since you will be using iTunes for all imports in the future, correct?

  • I can sync media files from Windows Media Player to my ipod, but the information will not show up on my ipod. Why?

    I HATE using iTunes (it's a pain in the bleeping arse) so, despite what someone from Apple told me, I tried to sync a song from Windows Media Player onto my ipod. The sync appears to be successful, and yet when I ejected my ipod to check to see if the song was on there, it was not. Why? And how do I get it on there? I want to avoid using iTunes at all costs.

    Try MediaMonkey or Winamp. Unlike Windows Media Player which will just blindly throw the files onto the iPod's hard drive these two at least (there may be others) know that they have to update the device's database if you are going to be able to access the content that has been added.
