iTunes songs to Media Player

Do the songs play correctly in iTunes? Occasionally new iTunes downloads will act as if they have DRM, but still won't play on an authorised computer. The answer there is to delete and redownload. See also Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community.

See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely - Apple Community for thoughts on sharing a common library between the two apps.

I have to have a copy on my desktop for it to stay in Media Player??

Hhmm, where did you move it to, or did you delete the songs? If you have moved them, you probably need to tell WMP where you've moved them to. That's exactly what you would have to do with iTunes.
