A friend gave me a cd with some WMA files on it. iTunes will not import / recognize these. Am I missing something?

Cannot import these into itunes on my Mac. She has a PC. Can i tunes. on a PC convert / import WMA - but NOT the Mac????

suppose it never crossed your mind to actually buy the songs.

I don't think iTunes on either the mac or PC can import wma files.

I recently got a couple of WMA files which I wanted to add to my library in iTunes on the mac. I opened them in QT pro (with flip4mac WMV Studio) then exported them to aif.

I then opened the AIF files in iTunes, and then converted them to mp3. It's not a very elegant process, but it worked.

No it never did Gooser.

When someone gives you a cd of MP3s to check out, you just do it.

Who are you anyway? An RIAA stooge?

Thanks for the Qt Pro trick Naplander. I don't have that program.
