We never convert our music to WMA music format, but somehow downloaded music still have. iTunes Mac not able to add WMA files into music library (maybe copyright issue?). Anyway there is a workaround to bypass the music format compatibility issue:

  1. Install Flip4Mac Windows Media component, then your QuickTime manage to play WMA files.
  2. Open WMA music file in QuickTime, then click File > Save As > Movie format.
  3. Add converted music in .MOV format into iTunes Library.

You can now play WMA music from iTunes library. But remember to keep the original WMA files within the same folder, because .MOV files still point to them. To fully convert the musics into recognizable audio files, just one more conversion step to go.

Select the WMA songs in iTunes, go to Advance Menu, click Create AAC version. Your musics are now fully converted. Go ahead sync with iPhone or iPod to enjoy the hard downloaded music anywhere anytime! :)

Share and Enjoy
