How to import MP3 files from ITunes

Hello,
I am new with Mac and GarageBand (GarageBand'09-5.1)
How can I import, from my iTunes library, a mp3 files in GarageBand, to use it.
Thanks for clear answer

I would suggest by starting with a Loop. When your project is up look at the bottom right of your screen. There are 3 buttons. The one of the far right is a Music note and film frames. Wen you click on it, you should see your entire itunes library. You can search through it or type into the search bar to narrow your search. Click and drag into the project area.

  • How to import music file from itunes to fcp?

    thanks in advance. I burned from itunes a track on to a cd. then tried to upload from cd to fcp. it plays for about 5 seconds, then stops with error msgs:
    "turn off unlim rt"
    lower compression rate"
    or "lower pref for real time audio track"
    I'm new to fcp and am stuck. can't find help in the books either. any way to just lift a music file straight from itunes to fcp.
    thanks.

    The "media drive" isn't a mac thing...it is a video editing thing. This is a drive that is separate from your main computer's hard drive where you store ALL of your captured footage, audio, video elements, graphics, still photos...everything you use in your video project. You should NOT be using your system drive for this.
    This drive, on the low end, can be a firewire drive. 7200RPM at least.
    You need to copy the music files OFF of the CD and onto your media drive...and you really should be organized about this. Organization is a HUGE part of video editing.

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • I get an error when trying to import MP3 files in iTunes?

    When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
    The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
    I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
    For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
    (I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
    Thanks in advance for any help !!!

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • Problems importing .mp3 files to itunes

    I'm having problems importing .mp3 files to itunes, it's importing the song name tage with "artist - song title" when it should just be the song title?

    Chad, 
    Glad to hear that Steve's script was helpful.
    As to the bug, I don't know.  The problem you report is not common.  Usually when iTunes displays artist-title in the Name field, it is either an untagged MP3 or a WAV file, but in those cases it does not correct itself when you give it a kick.  Between that and the non-refresh problem you report, I think there is something else going on besides a tagging issue.  At your convenience, you may want to reinstall the newest iTunes, and see if it helps.
    Anyway, enjoy the music!

  • For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

    Hey all
    I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

    You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

  • Can't import mp3 file from desktop.

    I can't import a mp3 file from my desktop.  When I tried to import the file, nothing happened no matter how I tried to import it.  Itunes is up-to-date and the diagnosis can't detect anything wrong.  I tried using Stream on the website where I found the file, but nothing happened. Please help!

    "Nothing happened" is iTunes's way of saying the file is not compatible.
    Did you try playing the file in another player, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp, to make sure it is a valid MP3?
    If it is valid, but iTunes will not accept it, it may have minor corruption.  In that case, treat it with a 3rd party cleanup app such as MP3Val.  That is usually sufficient to make iTunes happy.

  • How to import Flac files into itunes

    Hi there,
    the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
    I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
    Many thanks for your help.
    regards

    Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
    P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

    Premiere Elements 12 Mac
    A few more questions for now.
    Taking your particular .avi files out of the equation, can you import any other format from Add Media/Files and Folders pointed to this external hard drive? What is the format of the external hard drive? NTFS or FAT32?
    It is my recollection that AVCHD.avi has always been reported as highly problematic. Yet you seem to be saying that you have no problem importing them in to the project from the desktop with the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to Expert workspace Timeline.
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 12 from the Mac App Store or from Adobe? If Mac Store, what do you have Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor or some variation thereof?
    You wrote
    A number of users are experiencing this issue - they connect their hard drive, load Elements, start a new project and go to add media (from the ext hard drive) using the files and folders option.
    Could you supply more information on this via link(s) which have reported this issue.
    Thanks.

  • How to import raw files from nikon d750 to snow leopard

    I can import raw files from my Nikon d80 to iPhoto on Snow Leopard without having to install Nikon software. However iPhoto won't import raw files from my Nikon d750. Has anyone out there had this problem?.

    Mountain Lion is what Lion should have been in my opinion. I used Lion for a week and reverted to Snow Leopard. Another option is to have 2 operating systems installed, each on a different partition. You could then stay with Snow Leopard for most of your work.

  • How to import .epa file from local m/c

    Hi All,
    I am trying to import .epa file from client (local machine), but the "client" option is disabled under the Import. Also, I don't have remote access to the server.
    Is there any other way to import this .epa file from my local m/c
    Regards,
    Nikhil

    Nikhil,
    I would also suggest you to check your portal permission to perform this option. Once you click on the "client" option you get a browse option to browse and select .epa file from the local system.

  • How do I import MP3 files to itunes and then downloand them to iPOD Video

    I have just recently acquired a 60Gb ipod video and I have folder with the name of artist with MP3 format music files on my hard drive. How do I copy them to itunes and the ipod in MP3 format and if they need to be converted into another format to itunes and the the ipod, please advise me how I convert them. My email address is [email protected] for sending copies of your reply to this posting. Many thanks

    mondrayuk,
    - Open iTunes
    - File=>Add Folder
    - Browse to the location of the MP3 folder
    - Click OK
    Depending on how you prefer iTunes to manage your Library, wither the files will be copied to the default iTunes music folder and a reference will be created within iTunes,
    -OR-
    Just a reference will be created within iTunes to the current location of the MP3 files without a copy made in the iTunes folder.
    iTunes and the iPod can play MP3 music files. No conversion is required.
