ITunes, whether Windows version or Mac version, can not play WMA audio file, but for users of Windows version of iTunes, you can directly convert WMA to AAC or other iTunes supported audio formats via iTunes. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes. To learn how to add other content to iTunes, see How to add items.
