ITunes library - MP3 and WMA

Hey!
I tried to find solution to my problem, but no success. I have about 30GB audio library with many WMAs. I would like to transfer everything to MP3 or other iTunes format. Is it possible that iTunes automatically copy evrything to new folder and transfer only WMAs, so I can after transformation simply delete old library and strat using new one?
Thank for help!

The converted file will be in your iTunes music folder (same as the originals).
The manual way to delete the dupes is to open iTunes, go to "view", and click "show duplicates".
Then highlight the duplicates then select "edit/delete".
Or right click on highlighted files and select "delete".
There is a script for Windows that will do this.

  • Can't Import mp3s and wmas to itunes

    hi,my problem is that there are some mp3 and wma songs i have on my mac but when i try to put them on my library or basically try to listen to them on itunes nothing happens.i drag and drop them into library or manually import them but itunes just doesn't respond i even tried to manually open the directory music>itunes>itunes music>automatically add to itunes and dragged these mp3s into it but it just keeps ignoring them and throws them into a directory called 'not added'.can anyone help me?

    iTunes for Mac (unlike iTunes for Windows) cannot convert WMA files. You will need to use another Mac program, such as EasyWMA, to convert them into an iTunes compatible format.

  • HT1550 Convert multiple mp3 and wma at once in aac

    Hello All,
    I'm new at using iTunes, used to listen to my music in flac format with a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ (with a Rockbox rom).
    I've burned some of my CDs in mp3 and wma formats before burning them all again but in flac.
    Now with my brand new iPhone 5 16Go, I guess I'm better of using compressed format for keeping requiring space as little as possible.
    But in the online help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 the steps, describing how to convert files in aac or whatsoever, make me lost.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
    Create MP3 version
    Create AAC version
    Create AIFF version
    Create WAV version
    Create Apple Lossless version
    If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > Convert Import preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted.
    I did the setup of Import setting. But those "Advanced" menu are not water clear for me.
    It's step 4 in the document.
    How may I select which songs I'd like to import and convert?
    Using Add to Library import them, then in iTunes, I select them all, then I have to go to File>Create New Version>Create AAC version.
    Only Create AC version remains dimmed if I don't have any songs in my Library.
    Therefore where am I supposed to press down Option key to make appearing the Advanced>Convert Import preference setting ?
    I'm lost.
    The only I found is to Add to Library, then Create new version, create AAC version.
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind Regards.

    After searching the forums I found a 3rd-party program called 'MP3 Trimmer' available at 'http://www.deepniner.net/mp3trimmer/'
    Once you have the application, go to Tools > MP3 joiner and you will find a window to drag and drop the audio files you wish to join.
    Select your target folder and wait for the conversion to complete. The end resulted in a single .mp3 file virtually the same size as all the previous files were collectively. I added the file to iTunes but decided not to convert it to AAC, though you can if you want to.
    There are some restrictions that apply, such as 'CBR and VBR MP3's cannot be joined together'... You can find out more about these in the Help section.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • How do I move my iTunes library (palylists and history) from PC to Mac?

    I want to move my iTunes library (playlists and history - not just the files) from my Windows PC to a new Apple Mac.
    I have an external hard drive and I have moved all the song files over to the MAC. How do I load up the library with playlists and history?
    Thanks for any help.

    I see where I was going wrong now.
    The PC and the Mac are shared resources in this house, so both have their iTunes folder in "shared" places so that all users can get to them.
    After consolidating the library, I noticed that the itunes library held in the itunes directory where the music lives had not updated.
    A quick find for files updated today and bingo! there is a set in my user directory under windows. Copied that across and imported it and now everything is just fine. All songs, all playlists and associated play counts etc are all correct.
    Now the only problem I have is that I seem to have 5 computers authorised for iTunes despite only having 3 physical machines.....
    Off to the forums me thinks.

  • ITunes library disappeared and cannot reinstall from Time Machine

    I have searched all support threads for my problem -- updated to Mavericks and all my playlists disappeared and audio files that the new itunes didn't seem to know what to do with (meditation i.e.) I've tried to reinstall from Time Machine, but all support threads refer to itunes library and folder which I don't have anymore. I drag it to the desktop and tried to reload from there. I tried to do it directly from TM but get the error message that says something about a file instead of a folder.

  • Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

    I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

    No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

    Using TweakUI to Move or Create Your Library/My Music Location
    Use TweakUI (See: ’Disk is locked’ or ‘iTunes folder cannot be found’ when installing or opening iTunes ) to create a 'My Music' folder in a spot where you desire. iTunes should then find this location and deposit its Library files there, and the 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders as well (if you direct it to).
    First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
    If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
    1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
    2 Type in RegEdit
    3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
    5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
    6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
    7 Close RegEdit
    8 Reboot
    iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

  • Mixture of mp3 and wma files on my muvo

    I got a muvo tx last week as a gift. I copied about 250K of mp3 and wma files to it from my laptop running windows xp pro. The player plays all of the mpe files with no problem but won't play any of the wma files. The wma files were ripped from a cd using Windows Media Player.
    Any advice on playing the wma files will be appreciated. The little manual that came with the player says it will play mp3, wma, and wav files.

    JimR,
    For WMA audio files with DRM protection, you will need to use either Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource application to do the transferring of the files to the player. Only by using these application can the license be transfer to the player to allow playback.
    Try ripping the Audio CD again but this time go to the Windows Media Player 9 setting option and ensure that the 'Copy protect music' option is disabled.
