you need to tell it not to rename/organize your music folder

I really need to convert a few protected iTunes videos. Did a quick Google, and of course about 300 programs popped up on some suspicious sites. I tested a couple of sites and detected MelodyCan.com converter. Their free trial is quite impressive and allows converting video and audio formats both protected and standard ones.

Yea the first 3 or 4 are usually pretty good. At least the ones that come up for me.

I have had a new problem that just popped up last week after a half year of using Itunes. My wife & I share songs - which makes sense to us but obviously not to Apple. We've both bought a few songs & haven't had any problems sharing them, because we both use one login ID.

But last week Itunes, while uploading new songs to my Ipod announced that it wasn't going to transfer about 60 songs because they are protected. Of course not all the purchased songs were blocked, only a handful - so I have no idea why it didn't want to transfer just those few.

I'll probably try to transfer using Ipodcopy, which has been handy.

Also - one other problem I've had with Itunes at my work & home computer: it won't upgrade. It is still at 7.3 or something & errors everytime I try to upgrade.

Also the file names are all ****ed up in itunes, which took me weeks to change on wmp and folders view. Is there an easier way??? I just want to put my music on ipod with correct labels...by tomorrow.

iTunes doesn't support your WMA or WAV files (thanks alot Steve Jobbs), so they'll need to be converted to either MP3 or AAC before being able to be used in your iTunes. There's no way around that, and no way around iTunes naming of your files. When you change the title/artist/etc in WMP it doesn't change the actual title/artist/etc of the song b/c your link to the song in WMP is actually just a shortcut to the actual file containing the song, so you're just re-naming the shortcut, not the song.

Lol thanks for answering but this post is old, should be closed. I have it all figured out and working. Thanks anyways though.
