pirate... you're supposed to say you got them off a friend -_-; (baka)
Hmmm iTunes should give you an option to re-format them to what it chooses (default AAC)
either re-rip your collection, or find a media converter do to it for you... Lots of software these days do it for you...

That would be telling 😉 and i cba cos google can tell you the answers... (lol that's how lazy i am ^_^)
Hmm I'll give u info about some programs for windows......:::
- Foobar2000, plugin Floola (never used it btw)
- rockbox (yet again never used)
- Monkey media (i use it cos of its logo ^_^) <-=- this supports most formats and can convert into WAV, MP3, and some other lostless ones... lol
There are lots of software online... Only a google away....

WMP has an iPod plugin somewhere as does Winamp so you can use them with your iPod, otherwise you will need to rerip your music with iTunes (if WMP has added DRM, it's for the best anyhow as you don't want the music from your CD's to be DRM, above all it won't play on your iPod.)
@ Music acquired illegally (and which ideally should be purchased from iTunes or something 😉) will probably be mp3 and will certainly be unprotected wma, if it uses that format, so should almost certainly be importable into iTunes, I'm puzzled on that front, try using the open command on individual files, as iTunes might not be mining down correctly through your folders, at least it had problems back when I used Windows with iTunes 4.

I thought iTunes only dealed with its own formats (AAC) so you "had" to use them with iTunes rather than any other software...

Oi, the rest of the post isn't bs.
iTunes uses MP3 too 😉, it's just the store only sells AAC, but AAC isn't Apples format, unless it's got DRM Fairplay on it (which covers everything bought on the store, though not for long as EMI have done a deal with Apple where you pay 99p ($1.29) to get unprotected songs at a higher bitrate).

The converter your using is old. Get a new one and try re-ripping them and use quicktime to see if you actually get a picture with the audio...
And this topic is nothing to do with WMP and iTunes so start a new thread next time or use the search feature on this site, or use the search feature on google...

I had the same problems transferring songs from WMP to itunes. It was like the songs were never downloaded and they didnt show up in my shared folder. This is what worked for me:
Once you download the song and it starts playing in WMP, go to the Library tab, you will see the song come up as a list, Highlight the song and Right click. Click 'Open File Location'. This should show you where the actual mp3 file is located (in my case some obscure file folder). Then you can just click and drag the file into iTunes.
Hope this helps!
