Importing from itunes to windowsmedia...?

Question

Dont answer without reading the whole question.

I have itunes 7, i just imported about 100 songs onto it, but i cant sync them onto the mp3 player i have with that program, i have to do it from windows media.

i clicked the "add to library" button in windows media, told it to add all the new songs on my computer to the library (the ones i just imported to itunes), it found all the songs I imported, and said they were sucessfully added to the windows media library.

The problem is, therye not there. Anywhere, i cant find them. I tried it again, i restarted the program, i looked in everything playlist and option availble, i tried adding to the library in different ways.,. but nothing new is in my windows media library.

WHY?!

How do i get them to show in the library? Are they not supported by this program? What the heck?

Answer 1

iTunes by default, rips the files off of cds as .AAC files.

Windows Media player is not compatible with .AAC files and therefore will not show them in the library.

To change the import format options in iTunes, go to:

Edit > Preferences > "Advanced" tab > "Importing" tab

Then change the "Import Using:" option to something like "MP3 encoder."

Answer 2

You have to convert them to mp3 first...

The first step in this process is to go into iTunes preferences (Edit->Preferences->Importing), and change your default import format to MP3, and set your preferred bit-rate and so forth from this screen.

Once you've done this, you should be able to select any track (or highlight a group of tracks), and simply right-click and choose "Convert to MP3" and iTunes will proceed to convert those tracks to MP3, using whatever settings you've specified under the "Importing" preferences.

Answer 3

First try to copy your itunes library to your windows media player library. (your wmp library is directly in the "My Music" folder, and your itunes library should be in your "My music" folder under another folder name that you will be able to clearly distinguish as itunes)

If this does not help the following source has a link to download a ACC to WMA converter. Once you convert your library to WMA, try the "add to library" button again.
