Smile Converting WMA to itunes
Hello. Recently, I needed a song that wasn't availible on iTunes so I got it with Walmart downloads through Media Player. I tried to put it on iTunes and of course, I couldn't because of file types. I know there is the option of burning a cd to import on itunes, but i'd rather convert it or something. How put this song on itunes? Thanks!

Convert it from WMA to MP3. Do a google or search www.download.com for converters.

EDIT: Note that it may not work due to the possible DRM protection.

Well, unfortunately you were right about the DRM protection. Thank you for helping though.

Maybe convert it to MP4 since that has DRM too. Prehaps it will work with that. If not... then make a CD and rerip it in iTunes.

Do a search on Google for this. We are no permitted to help you here because of forum rules, but my feeling is that if you pay for a song you should be able to convert it to any format you want. We download songs from Walmart and Musicmatch and then I convert them to MP3 because the don't play on my media player in WMA format. I fully support paying for songs when downloaded, but after that, you should be able to convert them (as long as you don't give them to anyone else).
