Transferring music from other programs to itunes

how do you transfer music from windows media player to itunes??

heya!
I believe there that WMP files are compatible with itunes. i know that when i first loaded itunes on to my laptop, it asked if i wanted it to search for all the music on my computer. i clicked yes and it found all of my WMP files and converted them into AAC format.
also, you can click and drag your WMP files into itunes and it should automatically change their format.
hope this helps

What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

Transferring music from my ipod to itunes

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I've been trying to figure out how to transfer music from my IPod to ITunes. Any suggestions?

" I also want to add the music that was already in my ipod"
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

Transfering music from media player to itunes

I am having trouble transfering music playlists from my media player to itunes. I have tried the 'add a folder' and 'add a file' options and when I click it nothing happens. I have also tried moving the playlists to different files and tryig to add the folder and files and have also been unsuccessful. I have also tried to 'open playlist in itunes' but still does not transfer. It rips CDs ok but can't find a way to transfer music.

Have you tried creating a fresh media library in iTunes or re-installing iTunes? MP3's should not be a problem at all as you might suspect using a "MP3 player"

Transferring music from ipod/iphone to itunes

I recently had to replace my old hard drive. I have a new one, but when I try to sync my ipod/iphone, it tells me I can't because it's synced with the old one. How can I transfer my music/pics etc from my ipod/iphone to itunes on my new hard drive?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Transferring music from ipod shuffle to itunes library

Our computer crashed and we want to retrieve our music by transferring it from our ipod shuffle. It only transferred 5 of the songs out of 200+???
Please advise if you know how to do this or if it is even possible. I already authorized this pc to be able to use the existing itunes account.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer's drive, add them to your iTunes library.

Transfering music from an itouch to itunes on a PC?

I've been trying to transfer music from my itouch on to my itunes on my computer, but with no such luck. I have an already existing library on itunes which is backed-up, but no back-up for the music on my itouch. When trying to get the music off my itouch on to the computer, my computer can't even see the music files only photos and the only option itunes gives me is to sync (thus deleting the current music on itouch) the music library already existing.

Moving music from other websites to iTunes...

I would like to import music from the American Idol website to iTunes, and to the library to move to my iPod. I have done this in the years past, but have forgotten how to do it. Could someone please help me?
Thanks for any help I can get.

Two ways depending on your setup,
If iTunes is your default internet audio player the file will be downloaded into iTunes automatically from the website.
(Look at Edit-Preferences-advanced and click the SET button beside Use iTUnes for internet music playback)
However if you just want to download the file to another location and import it into iTunes.
Download file
In itunes select file - add to library and navigate to your downloaded file
You can also drag and drop the file into itunes library window
Hope this helps

I currently got music and filmes in the iPod. And I do not want to loose any of it, just get it copied over to iTunes.

Transferring music from the iPod to iTunes

I had been using a friend's computer for my iTunes because I did not have one of my own at the time. I put all of my music and bought all of my music onto that computer, and then sync'd it onto my iPod. Now I have my own computer and want to be able to transfer my music from my iPod to my iTunes library so that I can play the music from my computer as well. Is this possible? If so, how?

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your OWN computer and a different iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

Transferring music from iPod Touch to iTunes?

Hi--
I was going to put iOS 5 onto my iPod touch, but iTunes mentioned that I could lose all my data. Over half of the songs I have on my iPod are not on my computer, as I lost a large amount of it when my other hard drive died a while ago. They were not iTunes purchases, so I can't automatically put them back into iTunes.
I found this tutorial: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329 on the Apple support for putting music into iTunes from an iPod, but it specifies that it doesn't work with the iPod touch. Has anyone found a solution to this? All I've seen so far are $20 converting-type programs that generally have iffy reviews. It seems odd that Apple would provide a solution for this problem for everything but the iPod touch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Kat

Thanks for your answer, you were really helpful. It was such a great use of my time to read it, and the information you provided was very valuable.
Unfortunately, as I am studying abroad in France right now, I had to leave my back up at home. I decided not to mention that, as that was extraneous information as far as the question goes, as well as the fact that I don't want to risk shipping my external hard drive, nor do I want to wait a year before upgrading to iOS5. I was merely wondering if anyone who had encountered this as well had any helpful suggestions -- i.e., free programs they used, or if there was a way of accessing the iPod touch through finder.
Thanks again, though, for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.
