IPOD NANO compatible with Windows Media Player????

Hey guys,
I realize this may be a really dumb posting but I'm looking at purchasing a iPod Nano but my concerns are about how you load your music onto the ipod. I currently have all my music in my Windows Media Player but the ipod webiste says that I have to use the iTunes program. Any information or clarification would be greatly appreciated as I debate such a large purchase! Thanks!
  Windows XP  

Ok, I am definitely very technologically challenged, and I got a nano for christmas, and I have no idea how to get my music files from windows media player to itunes. I use limewire, which then puts all files in Media player, but my roomie accidentally deleted all my music from limewire, so now all that is in my itunes is all the music he downloaded from limewire after he deleted the library. Please help!!! I really wanna use my nano!!
Thanks

  • Ipod WILL sync with Windows Media Player....not iTunes!!!!

    To no avail, my ipod is not recognized in iTunes... however it is by my computer, and my Windows Media Player will sync to it...
    I have tried to Reset, Restore, Reinstall... all of that, but nothing has worked. I have Vista, anyone have any ideas? I would much rather use iTunes, so I can download some games, and such... but I CAN work around with Windows Media Player using mp3 files... no album art

    have you ever found a solution to your problem? I would like to know, because I'm having the same issues with my Nano. If so, help me Please......

  • Is iPod compatible with windows media player 11?

    Hello, is iPod compatible with windows mediaplayer 11?

    No. iPods are to iTunes. Other PMPs are to WMP. You'll have to import your songs into iTunes to transfer them to the iPod. iTunes is better anyways, but thats only my opinion.

  • How do i get my ipod nano/i tunes/windows media player to work together

    how do i get anewly purchased i pod nano tp work with i tunes and windows media player

    I am having the same problem. All my music is in My Music folder including itunes folder. All i want to do is tell itunes where it is but itunes keeps copying the files to its own folder, so mi end up with 2 files for everything (1 in MY Music folder and 1 in Itunes folder)?
    Please tell me i can get round this as i prefer the way windows media player files my music and as it is all mp3 then i dont understand why itunes cant just know where it is instead of needing its own copy.?

  • Ipod accidently synced with Windows Media Player

    When I hooked up my Ipod to my Windows computer and had Media Player up and running, it started to sync my files to my ipod....again...even though the same files are already on the ipod from itunes. When i sync my ipod now from itunes, it shows over 3 GB in "other"....the orange colored markings showing double the amount of music i'm supposed to have on there. How can I delete this "other" files from the ipod, which are uselessly taking up space without doing me any good at all?????? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

  • Compatible with Windows Media Player?

    Can you transfer music using Windows Media Player? It's been ages since I last moved music around on my BB8900 - but right now, syncs are not working which means I'm currently having to use Roxio media thingie to convert the .wma files to .mp3s.
    If I try to sync. wma files the BB8900 it just complains about the 'format not being supported' and fails to play - BB Media Sync application also fails even though it does say the music tracked are 'supported'.
    I'm sure I was using WMP with my old desktop (Vista 64-bit), but just can't get it to work with Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Surely there's something obvious missing here?

    Had similar issue with my BBCurve8310, v4.5.0.182 (which is the latest OS version ATT offers).  Running on WindowsXP,  IE7 and BB Desktop Manager v5.0.1..  My WMP is Version 11, which perhaps might be part of the issue.  It appears the BB-supported WMP format is Version 10? 
    Anyway, started my BB syncing odyssey by syncing some iTunes playlists, and most of those uploaded to my BB.  Then, I wanted to add my WMP songs that I had burned from CDs years ago (pre-iTunes), some great historic tunes (... no music library would be complete without them).   MediaSync appeared to sync the WMP songs, showing them as being in the "supported format".  The WMP Artists/Titles appeared on my BB, but the songs weren't transferred.  Also, that move deleted my previously-synced iTunes off the BB.  What just happened?  Why did syncing the WMP to the BB delete the approx. 500 iTunes songs already on the BB?  Had plenty of space on the Media Card.   I'm still searching for a resolution.  BB Desktop Manager is supposed to sync WMP files. Not a good result.  Had to re-sync the iTunes playlists. 
    I'll sample the Media Manager drag and drop feature for the WMP files, but I'm not immediately finding a lot of info on how the BB software converts the WMP files to MP3, and want to avoid having to re-sync the iTunes again.....  
    Thanks to BB/RIM  for the good on-line support info, and for the posts in cyberspace, that got me this far... at least some of the iTunes are up and running on the Curve.   :-)

  • IPod 5th generation and Windows Media Player

    I just got an iPod 5th gen. for my b-day and have a ton of music on Windows Media Player that I want to put on the iPod. When I try to sync, Windows Media Player says to "connect device". I plug in the Ipod but it still says to connect the device. Is the iPod compatible with the Windows media Player or just iTunes? If I can't do this, then how do I purchase and store music on iTunes and keep it all separate from my wife's music?...she has her own iPod and iTunes account with her own music and DOES NOT WANT my "crappy" music mixed with hers. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    No, iPods are NOT compatible with Windows Media Player. There are a variety of other third party programs that are compatible with an iPod, but I would not recommend using them for a number of reasons.
    If I can't do this, then how do I purchase and store music on iTunes and keep it all separate from my wife's music?...she has her own iPod and iTunes account with her own music and DOES NOT >WANT my "crappy" music mixed with hers. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    There are several different ways for handling multiple iPods with one computer. One option is to create an entirely new and separate iTunes library. The only downfall to this, is that you will have to manually choose which library to open upon opening iTunes each time. For more help and information regarding these methods, check out this Apple support document.

    If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match.  iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers.  It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

  • Captivate 6.0.1 published MP4 play with windows media player

    Hi
    Pls help.
    I publish my Software Simulation to MP4 without any error.  Then I play this MP4 with Windows Media Player. I could only hear the audio but the video is all black.  The review works well.  Does anyone have any idea?
    Thank you!
    Rgds, YYY

    Try viewing your MP4 in a different player to see if it works there.  For example, the Adobe Media Player is a free application that you can insatll and use.  It's more likely to be compatible with Adobe-created video than Windows Media Player.
    Your Windows Media Player may need updated codecs to decode and display the Captivate MP4 video.

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!
