Importing WMA files into itunes 4

Is there a way to import my windows WMA files into itunes 4 on my mac? I tried upgrading to the new itunes but the system upgrade of 10.4.9 slowed it down to where it would barely run so I have to keep it with the older version of 10.4.

Ok, I upgraded to itunes 8 and still can't import the WMA files. It says it is importing for a while then just quits. I have over 10gb of music files in WMA format and they are all sorted into folders. Is there a free program to bulk convert all of them to M4A formats so itunes will work with them?

  • How to import WMA files into iTunes to burn to CD?

    My coworker gave me a voice recorder that records in WMA files. I cannot simply drag the audio file into iTunes like I have from other recorders. I need to get the audio into iTunes so I can burn to CD. Any ideas?

    Problems -
    EasyWMA is not free.
    Switch looks fine, but after installing the wma plugin as prompted, and feeding it the first batch of .wma files, it crashed.
    I'm now 'borrowing' an EasyWMA.
    Pros : simple to use. you can have it process your entire music folder at once. adds songs to itunes right away.
    Cons : limited functionality! E.g. there's no option for VBR (variable bit rate), so I set it to 256 fixed. E.g. when having it run through my entire music folder, there was no option to restrict it to wma files - it also worked my flac's, for which I'd already found a better solution (fluke).
    Sigh Hate to complain, but hey, this stuff would be easier on Windows

  • How can I import .wma files into iTunes???

    I have a GPX MP3 player and most of my files are .wma format. When I tried to import or open these files in iTunes, nothing happened. I'm wondering how I can import the .wma files or convert them so I can listen/import them into my library. Thanks.

    You can do it on iTunes Windows or get a converter such as EasyWMA - www.easywma.com.

  • How to import Flac files into itunes

    Hi there,
    the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
    I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
    Many thanks for your help.
    regards

    Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
    P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it renames all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

    Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it re-names all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

    (By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
    Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
    When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
    In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
    29.95 fps = NTSC
    25 fps = PAL.
    BTW, this is actually the iMovie 5 forum, but no matter!

  • Importing a wma file into iTunes

    How can import this file and, if it requires converting the file first to a different format, how do I do that?
    Thanks!

    iTunes for OS X does not have the ability to import WMA files.
    One issue I know about importing Windows Media Audio (wma) files is described here:
    iTunes for Windows cannot import or play WMA files that are protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM). These files usually come from other online music stores. Additionally, Windows Media Player encodes CDs to protected WMA format by default, though you may change that setting.
    Both the above come from this article:

  • WMA files into itunes

    I read that unprotected wma files can easily be copied into itunes, but I have tried importing wma files both by importing and dragging and dropping, and I can't get it to work. These are wma files I recorded myself at a lecture, so I don't think they are protected. Is there any way to know? If not, what can I do to import them?

    I stumbled across a method of converting unprotected wma files to aiff files using free tools you probably already have.
    If you have iMovie HD 6 and Flip4Mac, then you can drag a wma into an iMovie project and it and Flip4Mac will convert the file to an aiff. You can find it within the media folder in the movie project.
    You can then let iTunes convert the aiff to the compressed format of your choice. Since you're going through a double conversion, I'm assuming there will be some loss of quality. I couldn't tell the difference in the stuff I did, but your ear may be more demanding.

  • Can't import .m4r file into iTunes 10.0.6.40

    Hi. I have a new iPhone 4S with AT&T (first iPhone ever!) and I'd like to create a custom ringtone. I have an .m4r file that is 29 sec long. I'd like to use it as my ringtone. Should be easy enough, right? I've tried dragging and dropping my file into iTunes, and also tried importing it through the menu, but it won't import. I can double click on it and play it in iTunes, but it doesn't import it into the library. Also, I have no RingTones folder. Do I need to create one somehow, and how would that work?
    Thanks!

    Okay, I wrote up a tutorial on what I did to make my own custom ringtones so that other newbies don't get confused.

  • HT1347 I am not able to import wma files into library.

    I have the macbook pro and itunes. when i add files from my harddrive -wma files , there is no change in the screen- nothing gets added to the library. Mp3 gets added. My import settings for cd are set in convert to aac files. I am not copying files added to ipod again to storage. I am using my hard drive as the location for itunes media files .

    iTunes for Windows can import unprotected WMA files but iTunes for Mac cannot import WMA files of any type.
    The following is one example of a tool to convert WMA to AAC on a Mac.

  • Importing .midi files into iTunes library

    Hello! Can anyone please tell me how to import .midi files into my iTunes library, then convert those files into .mp3 to burn onto a CD?
    Thank you for your help!

    Does this midi file play elsewhere?
    I am getting the file from another location on my hard drive, not from a CD.
    Doesn't matter. File -> Add file to library will work if the file is compatible.
    Also, when trying to change the import settings, it seems to be for importing from a CD, not from another file location.
    It is for importing or converting.

  • No audio when importing mp4 files into iTunes.

    Since recently, whenever I import an MP4 of M4V file into iTunes, it either deletes the audio, or the video becomes shocky.
    When I play the same files in VLC they do work. That is great and all, but since I use Apple TV I need them to work in iTunes.
    I've tried to delete and re-import the files. I've also tried to download different versions of the same files, which also didn't work.
    To me it seems like the problem lies within iTunes.. but I'm not really a computer wiz.
    Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.
