how do i get itunes music to play in windows media player?

Answer 1

If you buy a song of iTunes, you can't use it in any other program or anything like that. Apple puts and DRM on all its files that are bought through iTunes. It stands for Digital Rights Management, I think. So you can't use it in WMP. And you can't get it to burn onto a disc. It kinda sucks.

Answer 2

Don't think you can. itunes downloads will only work on an ipod. It is to do with the DRM (Digital Rights Management) not being compatible.

There are two main kinds of DRM. One is based on Microsoft code and is used by most of the major download services.

But the one store which dominates the market, Apple's iTunes, uses a completely different and incompatible DRM system called FairPlay.
FairPlay allows music downloaded from the iTunes store to be played on computers running iTunes that have been authorised by the consumer and only one portable device, iPods.

Users can copy downloaded songs to a CD and then copy the disc back on to the computer so that the songs can then be moved to other portable devices - but the quality of the music is affected.

Answer 3

If you really really want it burn the track to a disc using itunes then rip it back to your computer using windows media player. It's better to do this if you want a number of tracks though otherwise its a bit of a hassle.

Answer 4

As far as I can tell, iTunes plays mp3s. go to the .mp3, right click and click on the option that says something like "open in" and if WmP is in there, click it. If not, you will have to add the program to the list of files that will play that Mp3. Also you could just click and drag the file to the opened media player.

Answer 5

I use a program called Tunebite. I have the most simple version and it works just fine.
Tunebite re-records MP4 format music tracks while playing and saves them as new unprotected MP3 files.
It is legal because you can only use it with tracks that you bought yourself and it doesn't crack the original file.
