Use Noteburner

The songs purchased from iTunes are protected by DRM, which prevents you copying your iTunes songs playlist to your Windows Media Player. The most common audio formats that Windows Media Player can support are MP3, WMA, of course DRM-free. So to copy the songs to your Windows Media Player, you need to remove the DRM first, you can find a relative legal way to remove it and convert the protected songs to MP3/WMA for playing on Windows Media Player, and Noteburner Audio Converter seems is such a great software, you can google it.

since they use a totally different structure, it is not possible to import an iTunes playlist to a windows media player. But there is a workaround. You can download an application called MusicBridge which will allow you to sync all the contents between Windows Media Player and iTunes. But it is pretty complicated and I'd suggest just redoing your playlist..
