Pause music in windows

How would you send a command to windows to pause music playing in an external program, such as itunes or windows media player

is there a windows cmd command that does it that can be implemented through java?Possibly, but you're approaching the problem from the wrong angle. What you need to be looking for is how to manipulate your media player through interfaces other than the GUI. Wouldn't surprise me if there are command-line arguments WMP can be used with to control it, and there are some media players which allow you to control them through a telnet session or even over HTTP. Research that, then worry about using Java to do it

How can i transfer my music from windows 7 to a mini mac

I need some help as I bought a mini mac for more storage for my music on windows 7 and greater ease of use for managing my music library.
I also have an external hard drive full of music 750GB I was hoping to transfer.
I am now considering an external hard drive as a last resort to at least rip my several 100 cds as nothing has worked to date.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm a real Apple newbie
Thanks

Depending on the size of your music/video collection, an external HD is probably the best way to go.
I have nearly a Terabyte of music and videos and that simply won't fit on a Mini's 500Gb HD, so I keep it elsewhere.
Moving it is simply a matter of physically copying the files to the external HD and then pointing iTunes to the location.

Ipod nano randomly turns on, pauses music & won't stay off

I got an iPod Nano 6th(?) Gen in August. It didn't get used for another month - loaded it with tunes in September. After about a month of intermittent use, it started to randomly pause music without touching it in any way. I also noticed that, even though the iPod wasn't being used daily, it rarely had enough charge to play for more than an hour. After paying close attention one day after turning it off, it just jumped back on without my touching it. Disturbing to say the least - brand new gift, hardly used and not working right after only a couple months.
It was suggested by online and telephone support that the iPod be reset by holding down the keys; then reset, wiped clean and reloaded in iTunes (phone support). Neither of these fixes worked. Very upsetting.
In November I filled out a service request and sent my Nano back via UPS. I am beyond livid at this point as #1 - their tracking page tells you nothing #2 - I almost didn't get my iPod back as they never notified me it was shipped via FedEx requiring someone to be home to sign for it(!) and #3 - my device was denied repair/replacement because they're saying that the LCI (liquid contact indicator) was pink, indicating that my iPod had been submerged in liquid causing the internal damage. I was told that I had to bring it to an authorized Apple place and they could replace it for me for $65 which is about half of what my husband paid for the thing.
Um, unless this spill or submersion happened right before they sealed it in the box it never got wet. I think this touch-Nano is defective from the posts seen here and Apple is looking for a way to not replace/repair at their cost. Maybe their LCI is hypersensitive?? I might have breathed on it or maybe it couldn't take the humidity in August when it was given to me... If a device is to be sold for use by the average, active person (it has a pedometer for Criminy's sake) maybe it shoudn't be so sensitive to "wetness".

Call Apple Customer Relations-1800-767-2775. Explain to them exactly what you stated in your post.
Good luck!

New ipod, started up with Mac but want to download from music from windows?

Ok, so I got my new 5th gen ipod and started it up with my Mac. However all my music is on my old laptop..windows. Is it possible without restoring the ipod to download my music from windows? By the way I am hopeless and my Mac is 2nd hand so I am not sure if it is MacOS9.2.x. Not that that makes a difference, just so you know. Or will I have to put all my music onto my MAC? Please advise

Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.  If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

Moving music from Windows Media Player to iTunes

Hi
Apologies if this is repeating what others have asked many times in the past - I know what these forums can get like sometimes! I have had a look around though and couldn't find a definitive answer, so...
I have to date put all my music in Windows Media player on my PC. I am now going to buy an ipod so, obviously, I need my music in iTunes.
Is it simply a case of copying the folders from 'My Music' into the iTunes version of 'My Music'? If so, where is the iTunes version of 'My Music'..?!
Thanks
Percy

FIrst before I say anything else, As of now its only...6:30am here on the east coast USA (Which means its 3AM in California) so the event has not taken place yet. Apple is very secritive about what there doing, and anything you hear is rumor til apple comes out, says what there doing/announcing and makes it fact.
Now that said, there has been RUMORS (So far) apple MIGHT release some type of new nano and/or video ipod along with an announcement they have made deals with hollywood to start selling movies on there US store.
I just wanted to give you a heads up just incase you was buying today and the rumors turned out to be true. I would of utterly hated for you me or anyone to buy an ipod today, and then later in the afternoon, or tommorrow apple release a new ipod. If that happend to me... I would be Cursing up a storm (Southern slang meaning I would be REALLY UPSET LOL)
Theres alot of news about the event along with rumors that have be heard, just not confirmed by apple yet. One of them is here

Nokia might add this feature in the future, but bear in mind that what happens now is the logical thing for any portable audio device.
What happens if you disconnect the headphones from a transistor radio that you're listening to? The sound starts coming from the radio's loudspeaker.
What happens when you disconnect the headphones from a portable cassete/CD player? The sound starts coming form the sound system's speakers.
Do you see a pattern emerging here?

My 1st generation Ipod touch pauses music randomly. I've been through many headphones to see if that was the problem, but it still happens.

my ipod touch 1st gen. pauses music at random. I thought it was the headphones, so i've been through about three pairs, but it contines to happen. HELP

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
