Hello

Unlike other MP3 players, iPods use the software Apple iTunes to transfer music to the computer. Using iTunes, you can store a music library on your computer.

If you are using Windows Vista, you must go to the Apple web site and download iTunes for your version of Vista.  Then you can sync your iPod with your computer.

Windows Media Player are not compatible with the iPod. To work around the problem, you can search for a third party plug-in syncing the iPod to your windows media player online.

For more information, see the following links:

  • How I just play all my songs randomly in my v12 to Windows Media Player library?

    How to play just all my songs randomly in my v12 for Windows Media Player that are in the library?

    It seems that I must make a playlist named 'all' select all the music then play this list. So I need to do each time I have download more music on the computer. New music in the library that it scans the concerned disks but then reading list "all" is old and lack the new songs. There must be an easier way that I'm missing that works without need to create a new play list whenever I have add new music to my computer. Anyone know?

    The right limit MP3 was just an example, they touch the part that is in you is to customize the filter for your library: "then, we must take a test that corresponds to all the songs.

    Another option is to simply add a "sort by", which filter actually at all.  Then, you just play with Shuffle on if you want to ignore the sorting criteria.

    You can add a file type filter, and even if the mp3/wma/wav files selector is a drop down, if you click on it and then start to type, you can type "blah" and change the first drop until "is not.  That said, includes all files that are NOT of type of file "blah".  This means that all file types will be paired because he is not a real file of 'blah' type  I tested and it works fine.

    Similar approach could be taken with any of the other filters such as title/Album etc. by selecting "Filename" 'Is not' 'asdflkjsdflskjfsd' and that includes all the files except the one named "asdflkjsdflskjfsd" music :)

    Another approach would be to just use a filter aside and say 'at least is' 'Unrated', which will include essentially all of the songs that they have a side or not.  I don't know if some of the more obscure types of music files will have sides, but as I don't know where this information is stored, certain types of files may not support it.

    "More...". ""File size""is at least""0 ".

    I could go on.

  • How can I get any song I download go directly to Window Media player not in others... Thanks__

    Can any 1 show me how to get all my songs I download go directly to media players of the window... for now, everything I download go to others not in Window Media Player... Thanks for your help...

    This isn't my area of expertise, but it's what I do.

    I download music from all folders in My Documents. If they do not open upward with WMP if clicked, all you have to do is this.

    Right-click on it and open with | Choose the program. Select WMP and then check the box: always use this program to open this type of file. Now, any music downloaded from this file type (MP3, for example), will open with WMP when played.

    If you want to save in the WMP library, there is an option in the options of WMP to save in the library, or not. I like to keep them in folders not in WMP and myself, but that's just my preference.

  • Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

    WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

    I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

    I read this on another topic, try it.

  • Windows Media Player 12 does not all songs.

    Hey, guys!

    I have a little problem. I have a total of 4 700 songs on my computer. The Windows media player 12, however, only we add 1 230 my library. I just had to launch a song directly from Windows Explorer, because it is not present in the Media Player Library. This song is located in the My Music folder, which is supposed to be identifiable my Media Player. It is also in the music library of Win7, but not in the Media Player library... Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Eugene.

    m00cher, try the following steps to reset the media library:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Go to start - run, type services.msc and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.
