Question that I'm hoping someone can help me with: I use Windows Media Player as my primary library, have for 20 years, and used to use the MGTEK Dopisp plug in to sync my iPod Classic to it. I got a new iPod and that will not work anymore. I don't mind having iTunes installed on my computer as well and just using it to manage the iPod, however I want to be able to import my Windows Media Player playlists to iTunes and I've hit a roadblock. I can save my WMP playlists as M3U's but any songs with special characters get hosed up. I understand that M3U8 would preserve those songs, but I don't know how to get from WMP to M3U8 and I'm having difficulty googling it. I don't mind paying for a conversion tool if one exists. Or if there is another file type I should be working towards. Any assistance would be great. I've had this new iPod for almost a year and haven't used it because of this roadblock.

susan b buffering posted:M3U files don't have to be a specific text encoding, so it's likely being written fine, just in an encoding itunes doesn't support. You might be able to just open the m3u playlist in a text editor like notepad++ and change the text encoding to UTF-8. The problem is when Windows Media Player saves the M3U if I remember correctly, it's been a while since I was first loving around with this. I figured I would just have m3u playlists so they would be consistent between libraries but then all the songs with japanese and korean characters started disappearing even in Windows Media Player and I had to recreate the playlists and revert to wmp files.

Game-Blouses posted:I still use iTunes (windows), to manage my music on my iPhone. Recently, I’ve been getting “Cannot Decode: the media could not be decoded. It may be damaged.” Only on the first track when trying to start an album on my iPhone. Tracks play fine on the PC. I've never had that exact issue but anytime I have an issue deleting the music library off of my iPod and resyncing it all usually does the trick. Instead of deleting the whole app you can go to General->iPhone Storage and just delete your music I think.
