New Merle Haggard wont import to itunes

Just bought the new Merle CD "Chicago Wind" And I think Windows media hates Merle.
Here is the problem, The cd states it will only work with wmp and that it is the only application you can use to transfer it to your mp3 player. So when I was in Itunes I just added to the library and then I was asked to hit ok to convert the wma to mp3 so that Itunes could add it to my library I found out that they are WMA protected and would not convert. But if I had the orginal cd I could import them with Itunes. Which is what I was doing. So is there a way I can do this. It is just frustrating when you buy the cd and get this treatment. Dan

I was just going to say the same thing. Thanks, Otto! Also to avoid this problem in the NEAR NEAR future, if the cd that you're buying is on BMG's label or Sony, they have this extra copy protection software on their disks. I know it's a big disadvantage, because it doesn't let us rip our music on our beloved iPods. (the iTunes Music Store features FairPlay copy protection on their files, so you can import them to your iPod and copy them no where else. Apple has not released the FairPlay technology to the disk makers yet. Sony and BMG are currently fighting Apple about this situation, and this is how they're retaliating against Apple about Fairplay. Also, don't get too worried if you see the Music Store's files increase in price - they are also dealing with that issue at the moment. I hope this info helps you! Also keep in mind that the Music Store carries many varieties of music and you can buy your music off of there using prepaid cards or credit cards from your Apple ID account. (And if you are wondering where I got it, this is not a rumor, but information from an article in the Rolling Stone magazine.)

    Hello Anne Marie Larson
    Check out the first article below to get your iPhone to show up within iTunes. If you made a purchase within the iTunes Store you can actually download it with your iPhone being plugged in, the second article will help with that.

  • ONE song wont import into iTunes?

    Okay, so i have a trance mix that i want to import into iTunes. For some reason this song is the only one that won't import? It opens winamp and windows media player 10 but itunes just doesnt do anything when i try to play it. I've tried importing the whole folder, file, add a file, right click and open with iTunes program....nothing seems to work? Any help?

    It is probably a WMA protected file. These are files that will run on windows and some other platforms but it is not supported by iTunes. I had the same problem and was very frustrated because it was one of my favorites, i purchased it from the Wal-Mart site and they use the wma format. Was just out of luck on that song!

  • Beyonce's Visual CD of Album Wont Import to iTunes

    I recieved Beyonce's CD for christmas, and i'm trying to import to itunes. It comes in an Audio CD and a Visual CD.  I can't get the Visual CD to import to Itunes.  I wish to do this so it can go through my Itunes Match and both audio and videos be available.

    This symptom is usually a firmware problem on the
    optical drive. Run CD Diagnostics (from the Help
    menu in iTunes) and paste your results into a post on
    this thread. I'll take a look at them, and see if
    anything jumps out.

  • Mp3 files wont import into itunes from external hard drive

    I just switched from PC to Mac and have the new aluminium mac book.For my PC I had all my music stored on my external hard drive.I have begun transferring most of it to itunes,but some of the files since hooking my external hard drive to my Mac book have turned into 'Apple Files' which appear to be document files as opposed to music files.Is there a way that i can convert them into the itunes format?
    Message was edited by: KatesM

    WMA is not supported directly by iTunes. In iTunes for Windows, you can convert (but not play) these files, as long as they're not copy protected, to an iTunes-supported format.
    Short of running Windows on your new Mac and handling this with iTunes for Windows, or using another (your old?) PC to convert the WMA files to another format (I would suggest using Apple Lossless, as otherwise you will lose some sound quality unnecessarily--unless the WMAs are WMA Lossless...), your only other option would be to play the files with software for OS X other than iTunes. In that case, you might consider VLC, which is handy for almost countless other audio and video files anyway.

  • New computer - how to import current itunes libary

    Can someone please explain how to move itunes libary to new PC.

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • New Computer -- ipod wont import songs

    Hi,
    I had to completely rebbot and reformat my computer.
    Now I have re-installed i-tunes etc.
    I imported a few cds into itunes.
    But now, when I plug my ipod in and it updates...it doesnt import the songs.
    I never had any trouble with it before...I used to just plug in the ipod and anything new in the library would go to the ipod.
    I am also asked a question something like "this ipod is linked to differnt library...do you want to replace you existing songs..."
    Sounding like it will erase all stuff on ipod and replace with the few new discs I have.
    Any help is great!!!
    Jason

    Hi Lee,
    Here's the Windows ways to do this copying (that's your OS, I see):
    You can't directly sync or drag music from your iPod to iTunes library. This is because iTunes' software is made for default one-way transferring of songs from your iTunes to iPod.
    If your iTunes is set for "Automatic" in "Preferences -> iPod" (the default setting), connecting your iPod to iTunes now would automatically delete all the content off your iPod. This action cannot be reversed.
    Instead, hold the "Shift" and "Ctrl" keys together for about 20-30 seconds as soon as your iPod displays “do not disconnect” to prevent this automatic syncing from happening.
    Now, onto the transferring. There are a couple of ways to copy the songs over to your computer.
    You can try the method of manually copying songs from your iPod to your computer by accessing your iPod's hard drive.
    See this link for the details:
    MacMuse - Transferring iPod songs to iTunes
    If you would like a program to do this for you in a more automatic way, then select one you'd like to use from this list.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only

    I hope this helps you,

  • New iphone 5s wont connect to itunes store, new iphone 5s wont connect to itunes store

    Hi everyone - I purchased a new iphone 5s yesterday and synced it to my itunes library with no issues.  The software update was completed to ios 7.0.4 and everything seemed to be going ok!  That was until I tried to access the itunes store via my phone - it continues to load and never ever connects to the store.  I have no problems accessing the apps store - please help as this is really fustrating me.

    Hi Shazzawood,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to connect to the iTunes Store, try these steps first:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
