Once you buy songs or video from iTunes Store, you really get DRM protected content, which you will not be able to play on your own media players and other non-Apple mobile players. You can not directly transfer the iTunes files to Windows Media Player either. This file copyright protection technology is called DRM. Usually, iTunes downloaded files come with the DRM protection in M4A/M4P/M4B/M4V formats etc, while Windows Media Player only supports .wma, .mp3 audio and .wmv, .avi ,.mp4 video. This is why we can't transfer downloaded video or songs files from iTunes to Windows Media Player directly.
