I'm on my pc, and actually I'm trying to get my iTunes music from iTunes and get the songs that are in the iTunes library into the wmp library. So as a guess, that would be taking the contenys of the iTunes music folder, and getting it into the wmp music folder.

You may get some spam here about apps but be sure there is a demo.

I do want to write the WMP libraries have been buggy for decades. You won't see folk I know using that. I'd use anything else. Today I just put my MP3s into folders so that a folder is an album.

Folk have tried this to build a collection and over and over you see discussions like yours. I have little to offer over a google on this but to write no way would I trust WMP to keep my stuff.

What I am trying to accomplish is to get my new songs from iTunes and send them to wmp so that I can include those itune songs in a wmp playlist that I can then send to my mp3 player.

WMP supports so few MP3 players today.

Remember I'm not including any find with google about this.

You know there are articles about this but I find them to be dated to outright broken. Be sure to write the author about that.

If you read more you find some burn an AudioCD then have WMP rip that CD to get from iTunes to WMP. Seems like too much work.
