Selecting iTunes "Song" to put into a Music Library on PC

I may be wrong but I thought if I bought iTunes music I would be able to use it on my PC computer, specifically, at the moment, in a photo album program that plays music along with slideshows. When browsing to the iTunes selection I want, it's impossible to select the file and pop it into the Music Library for the Photo Album program. Am I wrong in thinking I could use iTunes music selections I've bought in this way???? Thanks for any help or advice!
PC   Windows XP  

Aha, thanks for the information -- this is a whole new world to me and I don't have an iPod or many of the other devices, just trying to catch up!! :>) I hadn't realized I couldn't use the downloads except on an iPod or just to play from the desktop, which I guess is about it. Thanks for the answer -- I appreciate it!!

  • Is there NO way to select multiple songs to go into a Music Playlist at once, vs doing it one by one?!

    Argh.  So irritating how something that should be very simple and intuitive results in useless calls to Sprint (my carrier) and BB. with endless holds, transfers, pasing the buck,and still no results.  Then I'm suggested to go to the Forums...you know...where other paying BB customers can try tp provide the IT support that BB apparetnly could care less to do for its paying customers?
    Anyway, I want to have multiple playlists in my BB Music so that when I host parties, I can play a particular type of music by selecting one of the playlists.  I was able to move songs to my BB but they only seem to move to the general Music Library (All Songs).  I was able to create Playlists, but it seems you can only move songs to the Playlist ONE AT A TIME.  There is apparently no way to select multiple songs to go to a playlist?  No way to move an entire folder of music from my PC to my BB songs, as its own separate sub-folder (i.e., Playlist)?
    I know I've been able to do this with other devices in the past. 
    Otherwise the BB Music Playlist options seems totally pointless.

  • I don't want songs automatically put into folders

    Can someone please tell me if there is an option to have downloaded songs or transferred songs not put into folders automatically?

    Move the files to the media folder as you want.
    iTunes prefs Advanced.
    Uncheck Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to iTunes.
    Uncheck Keep iTunes media folder organized.
    Then File > Add folder to library and select the iTunes media folder and the files will stay in the folder you have.
    Is there some reason you want to manage the folders yourself instead of letting iTunes do it? You can still find everything through iTunes regardless of where it is or what it is named.

  • Is there a way to put music from an ipod into the music library?

    I want to put music from an ipod into the music library. Is there a way of doing it because i dont know how?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Everything on your ipod should also be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • I recently installed iTunes 4.3 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore?

    I recently installed iTunes 4.3.5 and can't drag and drop music into my 'music library' anymore. Every time I try to drag the music from a folder into the library, that little circle with the line thru it comes up (not allowed symbol). I've been using iTunes for years and am pretty computer savvy... I have no idea what the problem is. The only way I can add music right now is if I go to File>Add File to Library and that takes way too long, especially when adding 20-30 songs. I am using Windows 7 and I have an iPhone 4. Please help! This is extremely frustrating.

    No, sorry... you did not.  There is no iTunes 4.3.5.
    What did you actually install?  iOS 4.3.5 on your iPhone?  If so, this has NO affect on the ability to manually manage media via iTunes.
    Let's start over... tell us exactly what has been done.

    Good lord.
    I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Is "Burn Playlist to Disc" showing up in the contextual menu now?

  • Computer crashed -- ITunes files gone -- How to restore music library???

    Computer has crashed, and my Itunes library was not backed up. Can the music files be transferred from the Ipod to the computer to recreate the library??

    Ok, first of all, now is the time to develop a back-up strategy, because iPods and PC's do crash from time to time. You invest a lot of time and money into your music library, why not on a back up strategy? I recommend either investing in an External Hard drive. They frequently are on sale, especially this time of year with the holidays. Or, you could back up your library by switching the burning mode into Data CD and burn Data CD's or DVD's of your library. I would really recommend having your library backed up in a couple ways.
    Ok, so there are freeware programs and rather cheap third party programs that will allow you to rip your iPod library onto your PC. Try YamiPod, CopyPod, iPod Transfer or one of the plethora of programs out there. YamiPod is free and quite good, from what I hear. Good Luck and back up your library often.

  • ITunes has recently began corrupting my music library and my Podcasts. An exclamation mark has appeared at the beginning of a random number of songs and against some Podcasts with the result that they will not play on iTunes. Message is that iTunes cannot

    iTunes has recently began corrupting my Music  and some of the Podcasts.  An exclamation mark appears at a random selection of songs - about a thoussanad of them - and they will not play as iTunes says that it cannot locate the file.  This also has happened on a number of Podcasts.  Any one else encountered this?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, if you are running Windows (you've posted in iTunes for Windows, but your sig mentions Mac OS X...), and as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • I want to get rid of iTunes Radio and just play my music library. The tool bar at the bottom allowing me to select playlists, artists etc isn't there any more. HELP!

    Getting rid of iTunes Radio. How do I navigate back to my own music library? The tool bar at the bottom disappears.

    Open the Music app.
    Tap More on the bottom menu
    Tap Edit (upper right)
    Drag the icon on or off the lower tool bar to select the functions you want on it.
    At step #2, you can also simply select the view you wish to use.
    To navigate back to a view that shows the menu (for example, when you are playing a song), tap the < icon (upper left).

  • I bought an album on the iTunes store but one of the songs is not in my music library. How can i get it back?

    I bought the One Direction album on the iTunes store recently, but one of the songs has not downloaded onto my Music Library. Does anyone know how to get this song without buying it?

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

  • ITunes can't locate ⅔ of my Music Library -- How to repair?

    I manually reorganized the iTunes Media Folder on my MacBook Air because everything was all jumbled up in the Music folder -- Songs, Movies, Mobile apps etc. everything all mixed up in Music folder. I manually dragged the Movie, iTunes U, Mobile Applications  etc.Folders out of Music Folder and put everything into iTunes Media Folder. The same order as it is on my desktop iMac. Now iTunes can't locate about 1/2 of my Music library. Everything else (movies, TV shows etc.) works fine, but iTunes lost the location of 1/2my music library. I get the message "The song "ABC" could not be used because the original file could not be located. Would you like to locate it"
    Is there a way to reset iTunes so that it knows where all the songs are (they are all in the music folder which is in the iTunes Media Folder). If I have to locate every song individually it will take weeks. 
    File ->Library ->  Organize Library -> click Consolidate and Reorganize files in iTunes Media didn't seem to work. Isn't this the way to let iTunes know where all those songs it can't locate are?
    Kindly advise if you know how to slove this.
    Thank you.
    P.S. Still using Mountain Lion on this computer

    I manage my music manually by turning off the advanced preferences for iTunes managing my music and copying it to the iTunes folder when adding it to the library.  Realize if you do this you are taking responsibility for keeping track of your music -- you will have to be organized.  If you want to move your library you will have to track down all the files. Your files will retain their original names and folder names and structure, so make sure it makes sense.  There's a few other disadvantages which I can't remember right now.  Even with manually managing you still occasionally get a broken link, and my experience is all with iTunes 7.5 which I still use.  I may be wrong but I suspect newer versions of iTunes are trying to do more at one time with all the store and cloud interface and may be more "delicate".
    If you are downloading from Apple or ripping a CD, iTunes will put it in its normal folder structure anyway, though you can remove it from there.
    The various scripts on the Dougscripts web site were written at different stages.  You have to read about iTunes version compatibility in the blurb about each script.  I don't see how you end up with multiple libraries using hte scripts.
    The .itl file can reset itself but not with what you are doing.  If you had moved your whole library and broken all the links you could have found just one and iTunes might have offered to find the others based upon the same structure (not something it will do if you manually manage, by the way).

  • Do all songs have to stay in music library after updating Nano?

    Hi - everything is going along fine with putting songs into my library and updating the Nano. My issue is that I don't want 1000 songs in my hard drive. If I delete some songs out to create space, and update the Nano, will the songs that are missing from the library get deleted from the Nano?
    I've tried looking in the help menu and in the manuals, but couldn't find the answer to seems like a very simple question - so anyone who can enlighten me is much appreciated. Thanks.

    What you are describing is iTunes default setting for synching with your iPod:
    ...iTunes automatically updates iPod's music library whenever you connect iPod to your computer. iTunes transfers new songs you've added, and erases songs you've removed.
    There is an alternative, manual updating. But it's really a lot less convenient. For details, have a look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148 .
    If you choose this method, pay particular heed to the warning about backing up your music.

    Were you ever able to solve this problem? If so,
    how? If not, did you see the same slowness copying
    the files in Windows Explorer from the NAS to the
    iPod?
    No I wasn't. To be honest I have essentially given up as even if I can fix it, disk space is cheaper than life is long!
    Using the NAS in general is no problem. In fact, once iTunes got beyond the initial working out of what needed to be removed from and copied to the iPod, having all my MP3s on the NAS and copying direct to the iPod was no issue.
    Following some sage (and frankly scary!) advice at ilounge (http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=163611), I've decided to keep two copies of my MP3s. The fact that my fiendish NAS plan has failed is hurting more than the not-all-that-traumatic reality of duplicating 140GB of files if truth be told!
