how do you convert music from media player to itunes to put on ipod?

Hello daffy.409,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Convert

With iTunes, you can convert music files from one file format to another. You can also convert a file to the same format using different options. For example, you can convert high-bitrate MP3 files to a lower bitrate to fit more files on an MP3 CD.

Note: You can't convert protected music that you purchased from the iTunes Store.

Best of luck,

Mario
