Playlists from windows media player into itunes.

I used import playlist and it doesnt work. Like my computer doesnt even register that i clicked that. Help please!

Open itunes.
First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
Then go to file menu, go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder go to "add folder to library". Go through folders to find the songs (usually in "My Music" )
Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. To select more than one song from a folder, click the first one, hold shift, then click the last song you want to select.
A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs).
It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
Hope this helps

  • 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.

  • How do you add a playlist from windows media player to itunes

    I want to put a playlist from wmp on to itunes

    I can't see a way to export M3U playlists from WMP or import WPL playlists into iTunes. I could probably write a script to import directly from the WPL, but there is no point reinventing the wheel if this works for you: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wplm3uconvert/

  • Import library and playlists from Windows Media Player without duplicates

    How do I import all the music and playlists from Windows Media Player into iTunes without creating duplicates?
    I add the folder containing all my music to iTunes and all my music arrives nicely. I begin importing playlists and the playlist comes over with all the songs duplicated in my library. Most of my songs are on playlists but some are not.
    After adding the music folder (approx 7000 songs) then all the playlists, my iTunes library now contains over 13,000 songs. The increase is due to the duplicates being created as the playlists are added.
    If I skip adding the music folder and just add the playlists I get most of my music without as many duplicates but I am missing the songs which are not on any playlist. Thanks.

    If it' sprotectged WMA files, no you can't add them.
    If they are plain WMA (like RIPped from a CD) you can File -> Add to library and iTunes will import and convert them.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

    What format are the files?
