i tunes library to Media Player

Pthree

Good afternoon,

I have on a portable hard drive thingy my itunes library from my old laptop which I would like to convert to media player as a) I now have a windows phone and b) new laptop doesn't have itunes = c it would make life easier.

Anyways I have found loads of info how do convert them if you already have itunes but nothing if you dont, is there a way to do it without having to download itunes?

I dont mind if it takes a while on a boring train journey, and have a few hours to kill.

Ta in advance

P3 :-)

What format are the files from your Itunes library? If they're MP3 then just import them into Media player. Otherwise .... your Google-Fu is probably as good as mine.

I think iTunes stores music files imported from CD as .aac .... open to correction on that, but I recommend opening the library with Windows Explorer, navigate through the folders until you find individual files, and note the file extension - then google "Convert (extension) to mp3"

Definitely don't do this. Transcoding between formats will lower quality and is completely unnecessary - Windows Phone 7 supports aac files natively, no need to convert to mp3.
