Problem Importing music into media player on Vista
"Clarke Harris" <ceharris3[ at ]comcast.net> 19.05.2007 15:02:17
I am unable to import all of my iTunes library into Vista Media Player. I
have approximately 4000 songs on the iTunes file. The only way I see to get
them onto the media player is to have te program scan the computer for
material which it then imports (includes) in the library. I can see the
progress of the scanner, and it appears to be scanning everything (you can
see the names of the songs rapidly pass by). After the scan however, only
half appear on the Media Player library! What is happening? There does not
appear anyway to do this manually. Appreciate hearing fom anyone who knows
what is going on.

In general, media player won't import AAC audio files which iTunes
uses natively (though both players also support MP3). And the iTunes
store files are DRM protected, which makes it so that WMP can't import
them at all. So I'm guessing that the half-of-files you've got are
just the MP3s that you have under iTunes library.
