Windows Media to iTunes

[Simon]

Hi, Just got an iPOD for Christmas and what a great gadget!!

Anyway, halfway through importing my library (~850 tracks) it hit a fault.
Now I want to import the rest, is there a way of automatically importing all
music to iTunes avoiding duplicates?

Many thanks

It's not totally clear what you are doing. Are you using some conversion
software (like XPlay

files to one of the formats iTunes understands or ...?

If you're just importing MP3s via iTunes, you might try one of Apple's
forums.

iTunes will convert unprotected WMAs to AAC or MP3. iTunes version 4.7 has a
"show duplicates" feature in the edit menu.
