With both programs sharing the same media folders you should also take care when deleting tracks from one library that you don't accidentally delete the files if they should be left for the alternate library. This prevents WMP from automatically updating files and moving them about which can confuse iTunes. On the Library tab make sure the highlighted check boxes are not ticked. Disable the Rip when CD inserted option so you can choose whether to rip with WMP or iTunes.
Set the format to mp3 and choose your quality settings.
Media play store windows#
In Windows Media Player use Tools > Options > Rip Music to set WMP's rip folder to \Music. On the Preferences > General tab set your Import Settings to mp3 with a sample rate to suit your taste and the capacity of your devices. If you are going to let iTunes manage the files then you can move or copy your imports into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder (inside the iTunes Media folder) otherwise arrange them to your taste within the iTunes Media folder before manually adding them to the library. Having Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library set often encourages unnecessary duplication if you repeatedly import the same content when located outside of the media folder but the choice is yours. I choose to organise my files manually but generally recommend setting the Keep iTunes Media folder organised option to others as it requires less housekeeping. Using Edit > Preferences > Advanced take a note of the location of your iTunes Media folder, here for example I show the default path for a user called Steve. More on letting iTunes & Windows Media Player live happily together Most video formats will only work in one of the two media players. Choose a bitrate that gives you good enough quality, probably 256k or above. mp3 as your default media format so that the same audio files can be used in either player without unnecessary duplication of files. If you want to automatically add compatible (non-WMA) files created by WMP into iTunes use iTunes Folder Watch or manually re-add the iTunes Media folder. WMP will also detect and add compatible (non-AAC) files that have been ripped or downloaded using iTunes, unless you tell it not to of course. If you are letting iTunes Keep the iTunes Media folder organised then WMP will work out when iTunes has moved something, but the reverse is not the case. Move anything you want to add into iTunes either into the Automatically add to iTunes folder, assuming you are happy letting iTunes organise things, otherwise place them where you want, but inside the iTunes Media folder. If you want WMP & iTunes to live in harmony then disable WMP's options for updating or reorganising media, then tell it that its Rip Folder is the same as your iTunes Media\Music folder.
