Moving individual songs from Windows XP box to my new MacBook

What is the best way to move selected songs from my iTunes Music Library on my XP box to my new MacBook so I get all the Name, Artist, Album and Genre information coming over? Yes, I have authorized my new MacBook as one of the 5 eligible computers on the account. I'd prefer USB memory stick procedure, but I can also burn CDs on my XP but not DVDs.

if you have a suitably sized iPod click here.
good luck !

  • How do I delete individual songs from my iphone 4S with the new update? I have already turned off iCloud

    Simply highlighting the songs on iTunes and pressing delete no longer works when I plug my phone in.  HELP

    Hey Yusef 89,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7, you can delete a song by doing the following:
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    via page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Please note that if you have "Show All Music" enabled in Settings > iTunes & App Store, the above will delete the song from your device, but it will still appear available (with a cloud symbol to re-download).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How do I transfer my songs from my iPod Touch to my new MacBook Pro?

    Okay so I have read many similar questions, but I have not found any that share my exact problem.  I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and bought songs from the iTunes app it has, NOT FROM A PREVIOUS COMPUTER.  I have boughten 83 songs so far.  Now I just got the new MacBook Pro for graduation and haven't touched the iTunes on this computer.  It is all set up through the same Apple ID.  So again, all 83 songs that I have on my iPod did NOT come from a previous computer, they all have been bought through iTunes on the iPod Touch, how do I get those songs on my new computer?  Thank you!
    P.S. OH!  I also just got the Time Capsule (2TB), so I am not sure if that would solve my problem.

    This is answered often.
    open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer my itunes songs from my old pc to my new macbook?

    I am trying to regain my itunes library and want to transfer my songs, but I can't figure out how. I'm currently using a friend's firewire but I don't know how to attempt to use it. Is it possible to use this cord or should I try another way and how?

    Try this article:

    Target disk mode only works between Macs connected through FireWire. You will need an external hard drive for this if transferring from a Windows machine.

  • HT1373 Why can't I transfer all the songs from iPad into iTune on my new Macbook Air?

    I've recently purchased the new Mackbook Air 2013 model , OSX MT 10.8.4 , iTunes 11.0.5
    And here's my problem, I connected my iPad to iTunes and thought all the songs
    would be transfered automatically to iTunes library, but appearantly only haf of them did with iCloud icons next to the song's name.
    Another thing that I noticed is that all the songs in the library are the ones I purchased on iPhone quite a while ago (I share iTunes account on both devices)
    but for those recently I purchased on iPad are just not there.
    So I'd like to ask you guys how to figure out this problem.
    Many thanks.

    It works, thank you so much

  • Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

    Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

  • How to transfer songs from Windows Media to iTunes

    I cannot transfer songs from Windows Media into ITunes....Can you help?

    Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
    Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
    Conversion software (mostly commercial):
    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
    Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
    Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

  • Moving individual song to another users itunes

    parental control. How do I import an individual song from his library to mine?

    Drag the song from iTunes to the /Users/Shared/ folder, log in with your account, and drag it into the open iTunes window.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

  • I deleted half of my songs from windows media player by mistake and can't play the songs on my I tunes library because the files can't be found.  is there a way to reinstall them back to my library without having to buy them again?

    I deleted half of my songs from windows media player on my computer and can't play them in my I tunes library because the files can't be found.  Is there a way I can get them back?

    Restore them from the recycle bin if they are there, or your backup, or find an unerase or file recovery tool, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one.

  • Transferring songs from Windows Media Player and others to iTunes

    G'day folks,
    First of all - great stuff this forum! Had some issues with my new Mini but finally got it up and running thanks to the Q&A's here. One thing I couldn't find though, and that's how to transfer songs from my media player to iTunes.
    Here's the thing: First time I installed iTunes, it automatically started importing songs from Windows Media player (harddisk?) to iTunes - happy days! It all went sort of slow though and at one point I had to leave the house so I switched off the comp, assuming it'd get on with it again next time.
    However, it didn't. Now I've been trying over and over but I cannot manage to get more songs imported into iTunes. Any suggestions?
    Also (minor problem), in iTunes I can see a LimeWire directory, with all the songs in there I downloaded ages ago through LimeWire (sorry, I know it's wrong, shame on me, this was before my iPod era). I can play these songs in iTunes, but not send them to my Mini. Any ideas or is this impossible?
    Thanks a million for helping out!

    iTunes will convert WMA files as long as they are not protected. See this.
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format.
    You'll end up with a set of duplicates so you can delete the WMA files if you no longer want them.
