Converting MP3 tunes from Windows Media Player to iPhone/

[dot.haukes]

Hi, how do I convert the songs on windows media player so that when the iPhone is plugged into the USB iTunes syncs with it and the media player tunes transfer to the iPhone?
Thanks

For the iPhone you must have iTunes. iTunes will find all the music on your PC/Laptop and convert into iTunes... unfortunately this means that you will have two copies of everything.

I just use iTunes, it's much simpler.

You won't have two copies of everything. The library, whether it is Windows Media Player, iTunes or any other ones, only has a short cut to the music file, not the file itself.

Hi
I'm helping my son sort his iPhone out on his laptop, he does have itunes and I was trying to transfer the windows media files to itunes last night and get itunes to sync them to his iPhone but it wasn't happening. Do I need to configure his itunes to automatically gather up all music files from his laptop or should I first check what sort of files the music files are?

Thanks

Have a look at this link from Apple : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
Itunes should take care of the transfer for you

The music files may be WMP, not MP3. You need to check.
