Can iTunes convert WMA itself, or do I need this first?

iTunes for Windows historically offered to convert unprotected WMA on import, but iTunes for Mac never did, and Apple's newer apps no longer offer it. Converting to M4A first works on any platform and gives you control over the bitrate.

Do the old files' titles and artist info carry over?

Where the WMA files were properly tagged in Windows Media Player, standard fields — title, artist, album — map over to M4A's iTunes-style tags. Album art is less reliable, since WMP often stored covers as hidden folder JPEGs rather than inside the files; re-add missing artwork in your player.

Are protected WMA tracks convertible?

No — files wrapped in Windows Media DRM (from stores like MSN Music or Urge) are encrypted, and with their license servers shut down, even playing them is often impossible now. Only DRM-free files, like personal CD rips, convert.

Migrating WMA libraries to M4A lets old Windows Media rips finally play on iPhones, sync through iTunes, and live in Apple Music. It is the cleanest path from a Windows-era collection into Apple's world.

Why convert WMA to M4A?

Import Windows Media Player-era CD rips into Apple Music and iTunes, which won't accept WMA on a Mac.
Sync converted albums straight to iPhone, iPad, and CarPlay.
Recover proper metadata handling — M4A carries tags and artwork that survive across Apple's apps.

Tip: Old rips at 64-128 kbps WMA won't gain quality from the move; convert once at 192 kbps AAC or higher and let the M4A copies become your everyday versions.
