Answer» Purchased for first time music from ITunes. I want to transfer and play it through Windows Media Player.
Is there a process I can use to do this?

hope this helpsIf you strip the DRM off of it you can. Easiest method was burning a CD using iTunes so you have a physical copy of what you bought to play in your cars CD player etc, and then RIP off of that CD using Windows Media Player with the DRM lost at the CD creation, so you can make a MP3 that will play in any MP3 player etc.Thanks for your help. The link took me to advice "right click on one of the files, select Open With... Choose Program.The trouble is I cant locate Open With or Choose Progam any where. Have tried EXPORTING the file and changing the defaults to WMP without success. Also I have been unable to locate "Add to Library" on the WMP site. I would take the advice about burning a CD using iTunes etc but at this STAGE I only want move one song from iTunes to WMP! Later with a folder of music I will use that method as well. Have spent several hours searching so hope you can help?iTunes does not have DRM protection (anymore).
Open windows media player, then drag the music file into the media player window. Does that work?As soon as I click and drag on the iTunes file the WMP site disapears so no result!I mean the file itself.
Right click the song and click on "open file location"The file is what I have been clicking on. Can not find "open file location" after right clicking?Sorry, that's on the Mac.
Click on "SHOW in Windows Explorer"Thanks Finally getting there.having located Show in Windows Explorer opns computer-local disk (c:)-users-admin-my music-iTunes-iTunes media-music -song, displays a bar click on this opens the song now plays using WMP (small screen) I then opened WMP and dragged the song to it from the bar but it went to the Unsaved List only. How can I save it to show permantly in WMP? Right click the music file, go to Properties and click Change next to "Open With".I did so. There seems to be several places where i can see "open with WMP" and it goes to the unsaved list or c properties, Change/Windows, OK or drag and drop from "show in Windows Explorer and from there drag and drop to the unsaved list but it seems impossible to get it on to the WMP music library. WMP is the default setting for AUDIO files I can play the music on the untitled play list but the file doesnt stay there once I close down the computer. Hope I have described this correctly? Maybe it would be simpler to build up a library and then burn to a disk etc?
