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]

Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

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.

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).

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.

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.

I have tried to transfer music from my windows 7 media player to my ipod.This is the first time i have tried to use my ipod on my new computer .In the media player it doesnt give me the option to add to itunes library it just give me the option to send to my ipod and when i do this it says that the device has stopped responding or isnt working.Any ideas? coz i aint got the foggiest where i am going wrong.My ipod keeps telling me to update the software,but then will i lose the music thats already on my ipod?

You should import the music (that is listed in Windows Media Player) into your iTunes Library - on your computer - to add it to your existing iTunes Library. I take it you have moved (or copied) your music from the old computer to the new computer, haven't you?
Then Sync your iPod to that Library.
iPods will not respond to Windows Media Player, they're designed to connect to iTunes.

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....

HT1660 how to move music from itune to media player

installed i-tunes,why does new music not show up on windows media player?

@Bodner
Are you trying to copy songs with a .wma extension? If so, these files are not supported by the iPhone (wma is a Windows Audio format) so you would not be able to play them.
If your songs are in a DRM-free format, such as MP3, then the easiest way to copy these would be by importing the library into iTunes and then transfering them to the phone.
If you do not want to use iTunes, there is unfortunately no easy way to copy your media files.

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.

When I downloaded I tunes and bought Match all 3 of my computers synced. Now I download a song from Amazon into Media player or burn a cd and they are not syncing with the other computers. I update match and have my boxes checked in preferences.

When I originally downloaded i tunes and bought match all 3 of my computers synced. Now when I download a song from Amazon into media or burn a cd into media they are not syncing. I go in and update match thinking that might work, it hasn't. I have all of my boxes checked in preferences on all 3 computers.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

How do i get my playlist from my windows media player to my creative

can anyone tell me how to get the playlist I created in my windows media player to sync into my creative zen ?

I don't think you can. Since they use different type of format for the playlist files. Just make a new one with the programs that came with ur zen.

Importing Playlists from Windows Media Player

I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer all of my music from my Windows Media Player library, to my iTunes library. I have tried import on the "File" button on iTunes, but it didn't work.

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.

HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

Importing from windows media player

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!!!

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.
