To get any of the existing Windows Media files converted for iTunes, open iTunes and from the File menu either Add File to import a single file or Add Folder to import all the files from a specific folder.īy default, Windows Media Player stores all music in the My Music folder. Since you likely want to put any new music tracks on your iPod going forward, there are a few ways to handle this. Going forward, any new WMA files are ignored until you add a single file or folder to your iTunes library. If you have WMA format files (the default for Windows Media Player), the software offers to convert WMA files the first time around. It's been awhile since I installed iTunes on a totally clean system, but if I remember correctly, the first time you install iTunes on your system it automatically checks for music files on your hard drive. How did I do this the first time? How can I do it again?

But now, I have since added more songs to Windows Media Player and they are not automatically transferring over to iTunes (so that I can transfer them to the new iPod).

I was able (but I have no idea how) to get those all to transfer to iTunes. I have been downloading songs (from my CDs here at home) onto Windows Media Player. Vicki writes, I just got an iPod for Christmas.
