Download videos/songs from iTunes to Windows media player

I have met lots of questions about removing music video library from Apple's iTunes to Windows Media Player over the past couple of months, so i took three hours to clear up some easy-handle solutions for this problem this afternoon. Hope this text will be of assistance.

Actually, for converting the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand, this can be done INSIDE iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iTunes Music Store, and were purchased in the plus version (indicated with a small + sign before the price of a song), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily.

However, if the songs were not purchased in the plus format, you have to convert them for 30 cent each.

How to put iTunes music video to Windows media player

For these DRMed iTunes files, you can use DRM removal software like freeware lossless Requiem. See also:

Many spammers will persuade you to buy some crappy software, but you don't need to do that (there is no need to lose quality, no need to convert). You just need to remove DRM protection from M4A/M4P/M4B/M4V files. Then you can play them in Windows Media Player without converting. Just install freeware codecs or a freeware codec pack like K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.


How to move iTunes music playlist to Windows Media Player with iTunes itself

Open iTunes and do the following steps:
1. Click Edit, Preferences and go to the General tab
2. Click on the "Import Settings" button
3. Change the "Import Using" to "MP3 Encoder"
4. Click OK and go back to your music library
5. Change to list view and select the first song in your library
6. Scroll all the way down to the last song in your library
7. Press the Shift key and then click on the last song to select all of the songs in your library
8. Click "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version"
9. Your songs should start to convert and depending on how many songs you have in your library, this could take quite some time
10. Open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click File, Add to Library
11. Click OK- Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after it has finished the search, you should find the songs from your iTunes Library in your Windows Media Player Library.

NOTE: This method will only work if you have bought iTunes plus songs or if you have paid to Apple for drmed songs to upgrade to drm-free.
