Itunes shows up in my media player ex "track 14"

purchased music from itunes shows up in my windows 7 media player as example ' track 14" etc...will not play.. no idea what song it is

Right-click the entry in Windows Media Player, and choose "Open file lcoation." When it opens, right-click the file icon and choose Open With > iTunes. It should start playing in iTunes and you can see what it is.

My CD track titles no longer show up on Windows Media Player; just Track 1, Track 2, etc. Is there a setting to correct this?

No matter which CD I play on my computer (using Windows Media Player), the title shows "Unknown Album", and each track is listed a s Track 1, 2, etc. instead of showing the song title. When I click on "Find album info", a message pops up saying "You must change your privacy settings in Tools, Options, to update information about the audio media you have selected". I don't see anything in the Privacy tab that has to do with audio media. All of this began when I changed to Firefox. I'm using Version 3.6.12

The Tools|Options it is talking about are those listed in WMP not FF.

Why does my iTunes window freeze and wont close until i shut my computer down, when the "iTunes is not the default media player" message appears? and how do i fix this? i just want to fix my music, but it freezes and i can't use my computer correctly.

when i plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens as normal, but for a while it's been giving me a message that says "iTunes is not the default media player" and after i 'tried' to do that, i'll close the settings window and my iTunes window will freeze and not close, reload, or anything. and if i "open drvice to view files" that window will freeze too, the internal storage window. i can't get iTunes to close with ALT+F4, or right clicking the tab on the bottom of the screen to close it, or clicking the 'X' button. the only way it closes is when i shut down my computer. please help me fix this. Its getting Really Really tiring having to restart my computer over and over.

Using a video purchased from itunes for use in windows media player

I purchased a tv show on itunes and I was wondering if there was any possible way to view the video using windows media player,
thanks

Sorry but no. The copy protection will only allow play in iTunes or on a video-capable iPod.

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.

Mp3 does not play in iTunes but plays in Windows Media Player

Dear group,
iTunes will not play a particular group of mp3s I have but the same mp3s play fine in Windows Media Player.
Winamp cannot play them either.
I've searched the net a bit and found many mentions of it but no solutions which work for me.
Also, these same mp3s are on my iPod and they play fine.
Any clues what is causing this bizzare problem? The files are not wma do not have DRM or anything like that.
I have tried reinstalling iTunes and Winamp.
Thanks

Do the tracks import into iTunes even though the will not play? If so try selecting a track, then go to Advanced>>Convert ID3 tags and select None.
If that allows the track to play you can select multiple tracks to convert.

Itunes not working as default media player for mp3's in firefox

In Firefox (and I tried Safari with same results), clicking a link that is supposed to play an mp3, itunes is not completing the operation. itunes is set as the default media player. The mp3 file is actually loaded into user.AppData.Local.Temp, but it is not imported into itunes (nor played). I can move the file to the desktop and then move into itunes. Trying to move from .Temp directly into itunes doesn't work. What am I missing???

ITunes gift card for Windows Media Player library

I am wanting to buy an iTunes giftcard for my brother for his birthday, however he runs his MP3 player through Windows Media Player (Vista) and has never used iTunes before. Will he be able to copy over the files once downloaded so that they'll be usable through Media Player?
If not, then obviously I'll have to think again!
Cheers

He needs to install this plugin or convert the songs into MP3 in iTunes, and purchase only iTunes Plus content.

Synchronization of ID3v2.3 Tags in iTunes 7.6and/or Windows Media Player 11

Althought maintained e.g. rating information for single mp3-files on my HDD, I can see this rating and maintain it in WMP11 but this rating is not shown in iTunes 7.6
How do I see rating info in iTunes and how can I update iTunes if e.g. rating info has been updated in Media Player or in the mp3-file itself?

I only use ID3v2.3 tags for my MP3 files and I can verify that track numbers and disc numbers work properly. My hunch is that these files do not only have ID3v2 tags in them. I recommend downloading Mp3tag to check the format of your tags. I recommend using ID3v2 UTF-16.

Can I have my itunes play on my windows media player, and on an MP3 player?

I have a library of music, videos etc on windows media player and am comfortable using it, so my question is can I export my itunes to play on media player.
I also have several MP3 players, and would like my itunes to play on them. Everything I read on itunes if about iphones and ipods, and macs. I have just an old cell phone, MP3 players, and a PC?

Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

Show I get windows media player? and If so where do I get it ?

I not sure if i should

You almost need to have it if you're going to be using most web sites. As great as QT is, it doesn't seem to be universally utilized.
You can get version 9 from Microsoft, but a lot of later content won't work. Flip4Mac is available and works well enough, though there's just something intangibly inelegant for me. Hard to explain, really. It works, though.
Both can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/

How to use iTunes COM SDK to set Media Kind for tracks

There is no obvious function to set Media Kind of a track from iTunes COM SDK. Just curious if anyone knows how to do it programmatically?

AFAICT there isn't a way to do it via the COM SDK. I currently do it by simulating window events using AutoIT.

Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment. The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!!
I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago. No problem in media payer - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album. Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.
