iTunes to Windows Media Player

Hello,
I apologize for the stupidity of my question in advance--I'm a computer moron. Is it possible to take music which I have stored in iTunes and put it into Windows Media Player? If so, how? Thank you for your tolerance!

Sure, just add the tracks to your Windows Media Player.

If the files are MP3 they will show up. If they are AAC itunes-encoded or purchased files, they will not show up.

If there the later you can get a program called tunebite and convert them so it will work though.

You can convert non-purchased AAC files to MP3 in iTunes, also.

You can play non-DRM-encumbered AAC files if you install this DirectShow filter (it also plays ALAC in addition to AAC):

You probably also want to install WMP Tag Support Extender so that you can edit the tags in WMP as well.
