Why Windows Media Player won't allow me to save the playlist that I imported from iTunes?

I have iTunes (10.5) and Windows Media Player (not sure which version). I have all my music in iTunes and WMP and I want to copy my playlists from iTunes to WMP. I exported the playlist from iTunes and saved as a M3U file. I open the M3U file in WMP and opening perfectly on the right side of WMP, but it wont let me SAVE the playlist in WMP. I tried to drag the iTunes playlist WMP playlist files and it wouldn't let me. Any suggestions?

Hello

(1) have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?

(2) what exactly happens when you try to save the playlist?

(3) you get any error message?

(4) is the issue limited to the M3U file?

I suggest to follow the steps provided and check if it helps.

Method 1: Try to run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

Method 2: If the problem persists then clear database of Windows Media Player. To do this, follow these steps:

a. exit Windows Media Player.

b. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Hope this information is useful.

When I ask your help files that they not give information for the music of copy/extraction of video files! Why are you being *?

    Hi Ronald,.

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you can not drag video files from a drive on the Windows Media Player.

    I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

    1. what happens when you try to drag the files?

    2. do you get an error message?

    3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

    I suggest to copy the files on the desktop and try to drag and check if this may help. The player adds automatically a file that you play from removable media such as a CD or DVD.

    Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?

    Is there a setting I'm missing or something I forgot?

    All that I could find for now is the following. I'll try to get WMP to give me the new option.

    Connect the player to the computer (if you get a menu of Autostart just close it), open WMP and then go to the Sync tab, click on the small arrow below, then down the list to your rocket, a fly out menu will pop to the top and in this menu, you will descend to configure synchronization and will open a window called Device Setup , In the upper left corner, there is a checkbox indicating automatically synchronize this device, make sure it is not checked. If you get a menu when you plug it in, having options that wants to know if you want to allow yourself music, or delete it and make room for new files, make sure you click on the music of leave on my device option. You must be sure of automatic synchronization is disabled and that WMp is not deleting you music so you can add others.

  • Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

    Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    Info about DVD decoders:

    For example: conversion of a

    This problem can also occur if the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

    Could you please answer a few troubleshooting questions before we start?

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. do you have an anti-virus installed on the computer program?

    You can run the Troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library and check if it helps.

    You can also run the Troubleshooter in Windows Media Player Settings and check.
