Answer 1

restart your computer and download the the new software for itunes 7.7.1

Answer 2

windows media player files aren't supported by itunes

Answer 3

The good news: You can save your WMP playlist as an M3U type, and then iTunes will recognize it. First double click the list to play it. Then File > Save Now Playing List As... > *.m3u. Save it. Then use File > Import in iTunes to import it.

The bad news: If the songs are already in your library iTunes will create duplicate entries. The new play list won't transfer to an iPod because of this.

That's my experience, at least. iTunes is not good at stuff like this.
