How To Import Your iTunes Library Into Winamp: Use Winamp to Manage Your iTunes Songs

By , About.com Guide

If you use Winamp as your main software media player and also have an iTunes library, then you can import it into Winamp. You'll then be able to keep track and manage all the music on your computer using just one media jukebox program. Even though you can't purchase music from the iTunes Store directly using Winamp, it's a great software media player that you can use to carry out most tasks that Apple's iTunes software can. Follow this short tutorial to see how you can import your iTunes songs into Winamp.

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: iTunes library import time - 2 minutes max.

Here's How:

  1. Winamp Software

    To download the latest version of Winamp, you can visit Nullsoft's website and either choose to download the free or pro version.

  2. Adding iTunes Songs

    If not already selected, click on the Local Media menu item in the left pane of the Winamp screen. When the Add to Media Library popup menu appears, click on the Import From iTunes button. Winamp will search the iTunes music folder and import any music tracks that it finds; the number that it finds will be displayed in the popup menu. Click the Close button to finish.

What You Need:

  • Winamp 5.55 or higher
  • iTunes music library
