iTunes and WMM

Postby Amo-Chan » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:18 pm

Are iTunes compatible with WMM? I don't use iTunes, but a friend of mine does. She wants to start making amvs and all she has are songs in iTune format. I thought I'd ask here for her.

I think it is not compatible except you or she must have to convert the itunes in different format to fit in window movie maker.....

that's what I do before or sometimes until now ;)

That's what I thought. I figured I'd check though. I'll let her know. Thanks!

for itunes, what you want to do is burn the song to a CD then rip the CD like you would any other CD

She doesn't have a cd burner. But, I think she's getting one.

It does suck. She seems really excited about making an amv. And I've basically shot it down. Well, for now anyway. She does have a media player though, and I use mine to rip cds. So, maybe she'll be able to do that.

It can be rip especially if she know how to ^^;; but yeah I would say use the music CD instead of itunes ^^;; much better that way....

also you don't have to get a CD burner if you have a window media player, right?
if she insist the itunes she will need a converter program for that ;) so suggest her in the convenient way if she start of doing AMV.

Yeah. That's pretty much what I told her. Just rip a cd with media player and use that. It'd be easier.

Actually, there is a program called Xilisoft that can convert .m4a (iTunes) files to MP3, .wav, etc...the full version costs money, but the trial download works well. The only problem is it can only convert the first five minutes of a song, but for most purposes this should be enough ^_^

Or... you can just not use iTunes at all. I just use iTunes to listen to my music, and i have the actual mp3 file on hand in another seperate folder. It takes up more memory that way, but you will still have both the iTunes file and the regular mp3 file that you could use for WMM. Thats what i do.

Yeah, I agree. I've been getting songs to her in a format that WMM can use and told her it would just be best to not use iTunes anymore. Especially since she wants to use her music for amvs.
Thanks everyone for your help. My friend is all excited about making her first amv!

Great to hear that. Let me know when she's done making it and I'll be more than happy to give an opinion about it. :P

I don't nkow if it can handle iTunes files, but JetAudio has a pretty good converter. Lots of cool options too:)
