Can I put my songs in itunes into windows media player?

Question

I have my library in itunes and I just got a iriver portable media player and need to know if I can transfer my itunes library into windows media player.

Answer 1

Yes and no... For the moment...

If the songs were already on your computer before you installed iTunes, then there is a very good chance you can because those files are MP3's.

If you have ever purchased music from iTunes, the files you downloaded were and encrypted M4P music file. The only way you can have them to play on WMP is to convert them to MP3 using iTunes. Simply burn the music file to a CD, rip them back into the computer as MP3, and you are good to go...

Answer 2

Yes. You'll have to get the version of itunes where you can convert the songs into mp3 files, you might already have that. If you can convert to mp3, then you'll know when you right click a song in your itunes library and there is a "convert to mp3" command in the drop down menu. Select that, and wait for itunes to convert it. There will be another copy of that song, but in mp3 format. All you have to do is drag the converted song into your Windows Media Library.


This way, you don't have to burn it onto a cd and rip it back as mp3. Which takes too long.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

first of all, iriver is pretty cool. second of all, its kind of annoying to convert. the only way i can think of is burn them all to cd's and then rip them as mp3's, but that seems kinda impractical.

Answer 5

no, its not a valid format for windows media player

Answer 6

nope
