Although iTunes and Windows Media Player are the products of two competing software companies, you can export your music library from iTunes to Windows Media Player if you understand how both programs catalog music. While both Windows Media Player and iTunes have the capability to play numerous types of audio formats, iTunes saves music downloaded from the iTunes Store, imported from CDs and otherwise added to iTunes as AAC files, which is a format that is incompatible with Windows Media Player. You can convert AAC files to the MP3 format in iTunes prior to exporting your library, although some music purchased through the iTunes stores is protected by FairPlay, Apple’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, preventing these files from being opened by another player or converted into another format.
