Windows Media Play Song Information

Good Day,
I have been using Windows Media player until recently when I tried Itunes. I am now totally using Itunes. The one thing that I liked with Media Player is you could right click on a song title and select "get album information" and it would search the internet and download the ablum name, picture, etc for that song. I would like to know if this same option is available in Itunes. I have over 400 songs and I really don't want to have to enter everything manually. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to discussions!
You can get lots of album info by doing a right-click on the song (or songs), then Advnaced > Get CD track names.
You have to be connected to the internet for that to work.
iTunes won't find album art, but if you search these forums for "album art" there is a utility that will automatically find art for iTunes songs. I just don't have that link handy...

Hi Daisymae3,
The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
User Manual iPod shuffle
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
on iPod shuffle.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Windows media plays instead of Quicktime

I'm currently running 10.4.8 and both my internet browsers Safari and Firefox used to play video files in quicktime format. I did an update in firefox an all of a sudden the default player is windows media in which i dont like. I did have Flip for mac on my desktop but have since deleted it. i have also went through the preferences in both safari and firefox and selected quicktime as the default player but still no luck. I do not like the windows media player at all. any suggestions?
Thanks

try the following:
open quicktime.
from the menu select "quick time preferences"
this will bring up a new window.
click on the "Advanced" tab
once there, click on "MIME settings" (bottom left button)
Thta should open a new window "Select the MIME types that...."
There you should be able to select and deselect your preferences and "MPEG" should be ALL ticked (so the initial view is a tick" the other one to lock for is
"Video". now that's likely to havea "-" in there. It all depends on your system setup.
good luck

Can I sync my windows media library songs to my new ipod?

I just bought a brand new ipod classic and I am wondering if I am able to sync all of my music that I currently have on my windows media player library to my ipod classic? Because some of the songs that I have on there you wont find on itunes.

Import the content to iTunes using File > Add file/folder to library.
Then sync the content to the device.

How do i get my Windows Media Player Songs to my itunes????

Hi, I cant figure out how to transfer my w. Media player songs to my itunes?? I am still new at this can someone help me out? It asked me once along time ago but i didnt have any of my music on there then!!! Thank you so much for any help. I appreciate it! Emmers.

Kudos!
Anyway, I have 56 songs transfered from Windows Media Player to iTunes. I've done this over the course of one and half years at about every two or three month intervals. Every time I discovered new songs something changed in my Mom's PC and I would have to import into iTunes differently; for example, I would convert the songs and then just drag and drop into iTunes or save the playlist as a format that could be converted in iTunes. Right now I have about twenty songs in WMP waiting for iTunes. When I do drag and drop songs from WMP to iTunes they appear in iTunes but they won't sync to my Nano. They won't convert to AAC file either. Now, these are songs from the internet and that is exactly how iTunes reads them; files from a website. Is there anyway to get my songs into iTunes? I tried everything Dave Sawyer and Chris CA said but nothing seems to be working!

Embedding Windows media play in LabVIEW

Hi,
I´ve tried to play AVIs (coded MPEG4) using ActiveX Plug-in of Windows Media Player.
The problem appears when I change the window appearance property.
If the property "window has title bar" is unchecked, the video will not be shown, but the sound track (formated MP3) is still loaded.
So how can I play the video without title bar?
BR,
Wilbur
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In some project I have used the Quick Time player ActiveX component. It is better than the Windows Mediaplayer. Quick Time is free to download.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Putting Windows Media Player songs into my iTunes

I just added six cds to my windows media player, and iTunes won't let me import them into it. It didn't have a problem with importing all my songs the first time. If the customer service were better, I could talk to them online, but I can't seem to find the magic button. Can someone please direct me?

Kudos!

Audigy ls and no sound with Windows media playe

I have an audigy ls and can play music with winamp, and dvd's with power dvd. However, when i receive audio/video clips via email, i am not able to get audio when i play the clips with windows media player 9. The video works fine. the trouble shooter tells me taht there is no hard ware installed or the device is being used by another program or the device is not functioning properly. i get error codes 0xC00DBA: Cannot play the file and Condition ID = 0x00000000. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Sid

Thanks Jeremy,
However, when i try to play MP3's that i can play on winamp, I receive the same error messages as I mentioned above. I know that the MP3's are good... I can play them on winamp without problems. And I've been able to convert them ot WAV files and burned them on CD-R's and they ahve worked fine. the problems seems to be between media player and the sound card/drivers.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO RIP IN DIFFERENT FORMATS WITH Windows Media Playe

I decided to put a little something together for those who want to rip CD's in different formats and sizes.

Anyhow. 4 simple ste
ps.
STEP ONE: (just follow the pictures and red words)
Go to the Tools menu and then click on Options...

<IMG src="http://img49.exs.cx/img49/5079/wmp0step20ud.jpg">

STEP FOUR:
you're almost finished! Here, select what size of a file you want. Remember, MP3 files will be bigger, for less quality.

GB only exports to AIFF files, you need to make conversions in iTunes:

Mediasource or Windows Media Play

Just purchased my Zen Micro and looking for some advice. I loaded MediaSource to organise my MP3s etc but it seems to do the same thing as Windows Media Player. Any advice on which I should use - I want to do the normal things - rip my CDs, organise my mp3s, purchase music online and sync with my Zen Micro. Any thoughts much appreciated....Many thanks, Confused Helen!

I use subscription music service (Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go) so I use that to manage my player rather than Creative Media Source or Windows Media Player.
The Yahoo Music Engine allows you to rent music, create playlists, rip CDs to MP3 and sync music and album art to compatible Creative Players.
I use it with a Creative Zen Vision M, Creative Microphoto, and a Treo 650 with PocketTunes.

Anybody still having problems with their Xtra and Windows Media Play

"PlaysForSure"?
Yeah...right!
Even though I've got WMP0 and the new firmware FINALLY up and running, I'm still having major problems.
Syncing files between the player and the PC is causng me no end of hassle. I can sometimes get a few tracks onto the player, sometimes none before it freezes and I have to unplug the USB connection to get it running again.
Notmad is having major connectivity problems then when it does finally work it jams whilst transferring files onto my player too.
I've just abandoned all hope of running any Creative software full stop given my woes around this firmware.
Is anybody else experiencing these issues or is it just me?

Are you showing an signal when the SIM is inserted into the iPhone? Making calls and sending/receiving messages are two different things. Calls use the cellular side of things, messages uses data. I'm surprised that is all T-Mobile would do to check out your account is to test your SIM. What if they look at your account, is it provisioned correctly?
You can try to reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. The phone will reboot. See if it works. If not, try to reset network settings. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. The phone will reboot. Check they if it is working. If not, then you can make an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store, but I still lean heavily that the problem is with the carrier.

Help, I cannot play songs in itunes since I upgraded to itunes 9

I updated my itunes two months ago and since then, I have played my songs in itunes. The bar is not moving at all. The videos are playing but without sounds. I tried playing the songs in Windows media player and it does not play either. But the songs play in the real player. What should I do? Even the songs I bought recently from itunes are not playing.. Please help me. I miss listening to my songs..

I'm having the same trouble and could use some help. No sound, but it is playing. How can I fix this to playback on iTunes 9? My Windows Media plays okay.

Windows Media is automatically updating Ipod! WHY?

I have had my Ipod for a while and it's worked fine. I added some new songs to ITunes today, along with the album info and artwork. When I plugged the Ipod in, I got a screen popup that said Windows Media was updating my portable device. I have no idea how this started, but the same thing happens when I plug my digital camera in and Windows Media puts songs on my memory stick on my camera.
How can I turn this function off. Also, the new songs are showing all their info and artwork on ITunes, but not on my Ipod. I've checked Ipod Options and "show artwork" is checked. I think it has something to do with Windows Media Interfering. PLEASE HELP!
Dell Windows XP

Ok, I figured this one out. But I still have a problem with my Ipod not displaying some of my artwork. I will post in a different topic.

Windows Media file (WMA) lock

There is a file on my desktop that is a windows media formated song, that is locked....and for some reason my mac won't let me delete this off my desktop because it is LOCKED! How do I uplock it and delete this file.
Thanks

If you move the file to the trash and hold down "Option" as you empty it, you should be able to delete it.
Alternatively, if you click on the file and do "Command-I" at the top under "General" you should see a "Locked" button with a check in it. Uncheck it and you should be able to delete the file normally.
Sorry this was updated so much, it's a Mac question on the Windows discussion and I got confused
