Using Windows Media Player to play my itunes music

Just wanted to know if there is a way for me to transfer my Itunes music to Windows Media Player?
Thanks

I have the same problem you had - how do I convert the .m4p files to mp3? Did you figure it out? Thanks.
Yes, should be no problem if the files are in the
.mp3 format. Windows media player can't play .aac or
.m4p files, which are an iTunes only format. When
using iTunes you have a choice on how you want music
files to be saved. The work around if you have them
in the aac format is to convert these to mp3 then
import them into the media player.

How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.

CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
Thanks

I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
look near the bottom section of this link for further information. The codec is called DirectShow

Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's. If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files. I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

Loading iTunes music onto a Lexar MP3 using Windows Media Player

After I've purchased a song from iTunes, what do I do to load it on to a Lexar MP3 player that uses Windows Media Player? Thank you very much

Tracks purchased from any legal download store carrying major-label content, including the iTunes Store, are copy-protected (with the exception of music on EMI's labels, much of which is also available in a higher-quality, nonprotected format) and so cannot be directly converted to any other format. You can, however, burn the tracks purchased from the iTunes Store out to an audio CD, at which point it will act just like any other normal audio CD.

Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

Hi All,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
Thank you!

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the reply.
The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
"The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
That was WaterFox.
The webpage cannot be found
This in Internet Explorer 11.0
The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

What output formats support the play speed settings on a PC using windows media player?

What output formats support the play speed settings on a PC using windows media player?
Here is my need. I need to take my video clips with me on my small PC and view them at slow speed. My playback PC is small and a little slow, so I cant have a very high bitrate. It uses an ATOM processor. It uses windows media player. I noticed the slow playback option is available in some formats when opened with windows media player, other formats--feature not available. What are the best output settings to save my clips on my small PC?

Just to add a few details:
As stated, WMP 11.0.5xxx
OS = XP-Pro SP3
Intel Core2 Quad 2.66GHz
RAM = 4GB
Graphics chip = nVidia GeForce 8800M (recent, but not latest nVidia driver)
I/O = 3x SATA II 7200 RPM 250GB
Virtual Memory = Static 10GB on D:\
WMV's play pretty well in both Slo-Mo and at about 2-3x speed

Using Windows Media player to view .3gp files

I really need help opening up a .3gp file that was sent from a cell phone. It said that I had to choose a file to open it with, and I chose Windows media player, but I keep getting this message.......Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player
might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Can someone please tell me how I can correct this problem. I must see this video right away.
Thanks!

Looking for a way to play 3GP or 3G2 files on your computer? If so,
there are a couple of ways you can do this. First of all, 3GP files are
usually movies that are taken from a mobile phone.
If you want to play these on your computer, you can either install a
codec or download third-party software to play these files. In this
article, I will try to mention all the different ways to play 3GP and
3G2 files.
Method 1 – Install Video Codec
Firstly, if you want to play 3GP files in Windows Media Player, you have to install one of the two following programs:
Haali media splitter
FFFDShow MPEG_4 Video Decoder
However, during the installation, you also have to select a specific configuration in order for it to work properly.
For FFDShow, you need to make sure that AMR is enabled on the Audio
Decoder screen and H263(+) is enabled on the Video Decoder screen.
For the Haali Media Splitter program, just make sure that the Enable MP4 support box is checked.
Method 2 – Convert File
The second way you can play these videos is to simply convert them.
This might be a better way so that you can play these videos on anyone’s
computer or stream them to devices like the XBox, etc.

Cannot listen to online radio streaming using Windows Media Player

Online radio websites that use Windows Media Player - opens up the player in new window but instead of buffering, says that it is playing but no output/sound. Definitely not security/pop up/firewall issue. Windows Media Player works fine playing CDs etc.

Hi there,
so, you definitively have a machine whichs plays sound and you can establish a internetconnection. I think its a pure mediaplayer problem (softwareproblem).
You have the following options:
1. Reinstall your mediaplayer or update it.
2. install another mediaplayer software like winamp or some other jukebox
3. ..no further options
Give some feedback, so I can maybe help you with your problem. ;)
Cheers

How to move albums that were saved using windows media player

I have a number of albums that are saved on my computer using windows media player. These were saved before I got itunes. I tried moving some of the albums into itunes but they don't show in tunes. Is there a way to do this rather than read all of the cd's into itunes.
Thank you

Sure thing.
In iTunes, go to File -> Add Folder to Library or Add File to Library. Select the folder which contains your music, or select individual tracks.
If in your iTunes settings you have iTunes copy music to it's folder and manage it for you, will then make a copy of the music, and put it into the iTunes location for music. It will even convert WMA files for you, into whatever file format you have under Import Settings in your iTunes preferences.
If in your preferences, itunes does NOT make a copy of your media, then it will simply reference the location it is in currently. If this is the case, then do not move the location of the songs from WMP. However, by default iTunes does make a copy into it's own directory, and if this is the case, you can actually delete the older files, as now you have a copy of these files in your iTunes directory.
Does this make sense?

Rendering from AECS5 (Mac) for someone using Windows Media Player 11?

Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so what settings, I could render out of AECS5 on a Mac to a format someone using Window Media Player 11 in Windows XP so they could view the file?
They are unable to install any other software or codecs other than what comes stock with the XP install.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

MPEG-2 should work. If you include audio, you will get a .mpg file which WMP should play.
Edit: Sorry, I am wrong about that; they would need to have a DVD decoder pack installed which apparently doesn't come standard.
Here are two links that don't have an answer, but have info about the problem:

Having trouble using windows media player in a browser

Everytime I try to open streaming video in Safari I get an error message, sometimes I get "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again" and sometimes "error creating unique tmp file". I have installed wmp I don't know how many times but I just can't get rid of this. I tryed this in my friend's mac and it worked fine but mine is giving me trouble. I have also tryed this in other browsers like Omniweb, firefox and even Internet explorer (internut exploder), what can I do?

I do not know why it works on one Mac and not another. From a Microsoft Bulletin:
Playing protected files
Content providers can protect Windows Media files from unauthorized playback by using a technology called digital rights management (DRM). A Windows Media file that has been assigned digital rights is called a "protected file."
To play a protected file, you must obtain a license (a kind of electronic key) from the content provider. In many cases, the Player can acquire a license for you automatically when you attempt to play the file. In other cases, the content provider may not issue you a license until you pay a fee or provide additional information.
Although it is usually possible to play protected files by using Windows Media Player 9 Series for Mac OS X, in some cases you may encounter one of the following issues:
* The Player displays the error message "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and file name are correct and try again." In this case, verifying the path and file name will not solve the problem.
* A Web page is displayed that informs you that you should upgrade to a newer version of the Player. In this case, you already have the latest version of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X, so upgrading will not solve the problem.
In both cases, there is no way to resolve the issue, and you won't be able to play the file.
However, I have sometimes been able to extract the url for the media file from the page source and put it directly into WMP and then been able to listen to it.

Problem in stretching video using windows media player control

Hello
I am using windows media player 9 and set the stretchtofit property to true.But when I play a video of size 256X192 on a window media control player whose width and height is set to 640 and 384 respectively I find black areas on left and right side of video.My system has windows 2000 and is set to 1280X720 resolution.I am using labview 7.0.
If anybody encountered the same problem or any suggestion please help to solve the problem.
Veena

Are you sure that this property means that the image is "stretched"? It might mean that if the video size is X and the control's size is 2X, the picture will be stretched to fit the control without losing the aspect ratio. I know that the regular WMP does not stretch images. You can easily test this by playing a file smaller than the control and setting the property to F. You can also search google\Microsoft for the WMP SDK.
Try to take over the world!
