Moving music files from windows media player to itunes

when I first got my ipod, only half of my music files moved from windows media player into itunes. Is there anyway I can import the rest of the music from windows media player into Itunes? I have tried using the import function and add file or folder to library and they do not seem to work!

iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

  • Linking music files from Windows Media Player to Itunes

    How do you link music between WMP (this is where I download my music) and ITunes without having to copy all the files so I don't need to use up hard drive space?

  • Converting music files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    There has got to be an easier way to convert these files...does anyone have any suggestions? It is only reading them as text files and they aren't. They are straight from my cd collections.

  • Is there an easier way to convert files from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    I have many gb's of music in my Windows Media Player...now that I have an ipod I want to move the music over. Do I really have to do this one file at a time or is there away to move over whole albums at once? Is there a way to transfer the entire library at once? Do I have to reload ALL of those CD's? PLEASE HELP !!!!

    Maybe you can help me out too. I have copied over 250 gigs of music in WAV loss less files to windows media player. On media player I see the artist, album etc. However, when I add the file, either as the song or whole album only the track number and song title copy to the itunes. How do I get all the other information like genre, album title, artist. If I convert to applelossless I still do not get anything and when I search AppleSTore for album art nothing happens. Please help.

  • Is there a way to move files from Windows Media player to Itunes?

    I have a lot of files in windows media player from Walmart.com. Is there any way to move these into my itunes library to sync onto the Nano?

    Do you know what format the video is in and if its protected? most likely you will need to convert it, there quite a few converters out there. (i can't remember any)

  • Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

    When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
    Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
    Many thanks,
    John.

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

  • Getting mp3 files from Windows media player to itunes.

    Hi,  I have ripped music to windows media player no problem. But how the h e l l do I easily and reliably import the music files to to the itunes program, it refuses to find the files. I have occassionally succeeded in doing this, after hours of trying, partially by trying everything that comes to mind. Why is the darn program so darn user unfriendly and unintuitive????? I am sorry I bought my wife an ipod.   thanks for any help provided.

    Make sure you know the folder(s) where the MP3s reside.  Depending on your setup, it might be "My Music."  Then go into iTunes and use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and navigate it to the folder.

    Within iTunes use the add folder to library option available on file menu. Select the folder to add. iTunes will add the file to iTunes library. Depending on settings, iTunes may copy the file to iTUnes folder location.

  • How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

    How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

    Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

  • Can't transfer music from windows media player to itunes

    I have a ton of great music to put onto itunes from my wmp but keep getting hung up on different things! HELP!

    What format are the files?
    WIndows Media Player uses WMA by default, and while iTunes for Windows i supposed to play WMAs, that isn't always the case.

  • I can sync media files from Windows Media Player to my ipod, but the information will not show up on my ipod. Why?

    I HATE using iTunes (it's a pain in the bleeping arse) so, despite what someone from Apple told me, I tried to sync a song from Windows Media Player onto my ipod. The sync appears to be successful, and yet when I ejected my ipod to check to see if the song was on there, it was not. Why? And how do I get it on there? I want to avoid using iTunes at all costs.

    Try MediaMonkey or Winamp. Unlike Windows Media Player which will just blindly throw the files onto the iPod's hard drive these two at least (there may be others) know that they have to update the device's database if you are going to be able to access the content that has been added.

  • Transferring files from windows media player

    how do i transfer all my library from windows media player and napster into itunes? when i first hooked up my ipod to my computer it prompted me to convert my whole library but now i can't figure out how to do it again.
    thanks

    For songs you ripped yourself from CD, you simply find the WMA files and drag them into the iTunes library. It'll convert them.
    For songs you purchased on Napster and such, you can't. Napster and Wal-Mart and all those stores that sell WMA files are incompatible with iTunes and the iPod. Don't buy from those services in the future.

  • Getting files from Windows Media Player

    I tried to import some songs into iTunes, but was told that the CD was not compatible with iTunes. So, I put the files into Windows Media Player. Now when I open iTunes and then try to add files to the library, I can't find the CD I imported anywhere in My Computer. Does anyone know a way to get them into iTunes?

    Try your "My Music" folder; that's the default repository for music ripped by WMP.
