I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion

I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.

Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

Need to find a way to convert mts files to aFinal Cut compatible format --

I hired someone to shoot something for me recently and he used AVCHD. However, he only copied the mts files and did not save the entire folder structure, which unfortunately is what Final Cut requires (at least that's my understanding of it). Basically I need to find a way to convert mts files into a Final Cut compatible file format.
Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.

Forum search is your friend. The usual answer you'll find is ClipWrap, transcodes .mts to whatever flavor of ProRes you want.

Convert REM Files to MP3 Format?

I have downloaded several songs via the Amazon MP3 application on my Blackberry Curve 9300. Little did I know that the songs were downloaded as rem files and not mp3 format? I cannot upload the files to my desktop or laptop computers nor my Kindle.
Amazon said since I downloaded most of the songs over 3 months ago, they cannot move them over to my Cloud Player. How do I convert rem file to mp3 format? I do not want to have to purchase these songs again.

That process above won't work. Waste of time.
Your files were downloaded as MP3 files, but you have content encryption placed on your Media Card, and then the REM extension is added to the filename, because you have protected those files.
You must turn off the encryption first, and then you can copy the files and they will be usable.

Converting .wav files to mp3 format.

Hi,
I am trying to convert a wav file into mp3 format using the below code. I am not seeing any errors in the console but at the same time the mp3 file is created without any content. Any ideas on how to address this issue ?
Format[] FORMATS = new Format[] { new AudioFormat(
AudioFormat.LINEAR) };
String srcFilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
+ File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
+ File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.wav";
String mp3FilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
+ File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
+ File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.mp3";
File srcFile = new File(srcFilePath);
File destFile = new File(mp3FilePath);
MediaLocator source = new MediaLocator(srcFile.toURL());
DataSource d = Manager.createDataSource(source);
ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(
FileTypeDescriptor.MPEG_AUDIO);
Processor p = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(new ProcessorModel(d,
FORMATS, cd));
p.configure();
System.out.println((p.getDuration()).getSeconds());
MediaLocator destination = new MediaLocator(destFile.toURL());
DataSource ds = p.getDataOutput();
DataSink sink = Manager.createDataSink(p.getDataOutput(),
destination);
sink.open();
sink.start();
sink.stop();
sink.close();
p.stop();
p.close();

You are converting the WAV files to mp3 format before transferring them to the iPod?
You're using iTunes to do this?
Just for the record, the iPod will not play mp3 files below a bit rate of 32kbps nor will it play compressed WAV files.

Converting .WMA files to .MP3???

Ok i have no idea where to put this question but here it goes.......hope it gets answered......or if someone can direct me.
Just as my subject header.........how do you do it? I tried to drag it into iTunes but it doesn't work........
any help will do.
Thanks

In a few cases, the file is internally the same format in a different wrapper. For instance, using a Windows Media codec but in an AVI wrapper rather than WMV. Or the player may play both formats and look internally at the file, rather than at the filename extension, to determine what codecs to use. In those cases, changing the filename extension might work.
But when you're trying to go from one codec to another, such as WMA to MP3, where the player won't handle the original format (and it matters not whether it's video or audio), then just changing the filename extension will not work. That's the case with iTunes; it won't play WMA files, period, and changing the filename extension won't change that. You must convert the WMA to something iTunes can play, and that takes other software such as the converters mentioned.

I have a canon Selphy 780 and need to find a way of printing from my macbook pro with os lion

I need to figure out a way of using it - I have tried to transfer pictures from iphoto to an sd card but the 780 doesn't seem to recognizing them. Has anyone got any suggestions

Connecting the printer to the computer via USB is easiest.
Otherwise, you need to "Export" the photos from iPhoto to the SD card.

Converting WMA files to MP3 files?

Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac?

You can use Quicktime Player if you install Perian (which allows you to read WMAs).
I believe Perian only supports codecs other than WMA. For WMA you need Flip4Mac. I also think that for conversion you need to get an upgraded version (payware), otherwise it only gives you the first 30 seconds or so. Even if Perian worked you would also need Quicktime Pro (payware).
Or, I think HandBrake can do it. Just Google "HandBrake" and it should come up first.
I think HandBrake is the best way to do it.
Does Handbrake work with audio only files? WMA = Windows Media Audio
Anyway, I think with Handbrake you'll also encounter the codec issue. At least my older version of Handbrake won't open WMV, nor will it even open mp3 audio alone.

Convert itunes files to mp3

Help please, how do i convert itunes files to mp3 format. i purchased a hp notebook and it has itunes and windows xp home. i have always used windows media player and am new to itunes. do i have to go back to media player or can itunes do the conversion?

The only conversion I've done is wma to mp3. To do this just simply import them they way you would any other song file. It will tell you that there are song files your trying to import that iTunes isn't compatable with and ask if you want to convert them to mp3 format. Just click yes and iTunes will make an mp3 of the respective songs. The wma's will still be there so if you want to get rid of them you'll have to delete them manually. The only downside is the conversion makes the file larger so it'll take up more space on your hard drive, but you'll be able to listen to it on your iPod.
As for iTunes purchased music StarDeb is right. Go out and buy the album then rip it onto your hard drive. At least then if your drive crashes you'll always have a backup.

Converting m4a files to mp3

How do i convert m4a files to mp3 format? Call me old fashion but i still like to burn a mp3 disc. thanks

Are you using iMovie? Can you explain what/how you are getting to the point that you want to burn the video. My suggestions would depend on your workflow and I burn movies to DVD quite often.

Trouble converting downloaded m4a files to mp3 format

This has never happened to me before. I downloaded a full album and 3 of the 13 songs get an error saying "the file format is not valid" when I try to convert the files to mp3 format. How do I go about fixing this?

+if I do that, it will create the MP3 files all in the same iTunes Music folder as the AAC files,+
Yes, if the AACs are by artist/album
+and worse, it will probably duplicate each song in the playlist.+
No, the conversion process does not touch any playlists.
+The only thing I can think of is to either (A) have a blowaway copy of iTunes on the Windows PC, copy all the AAC files to it, import them, and convert them, or (B) allow my real iTunes to duplicate them all, make the MP3 CDs, sort by create date or file type, and delete the MP3 duplicates from the library.+
B sounds easier than A. You can also consider doing the conversions with a non-iTunes program such as Switch, which allows you to specify the destination folder for the new file.

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it. Depending on the type of file you might need to purchase the MPEG-2 playback component.

If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space.

I'm on a mac and I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space. I've tried 3 times to set them up, but I keep getting the "almost full" message every night.

Can you tell us exactly what the "almost full" message says? Is it referring to your mailbox (ie, email server space), or your hard drive?
If your email server is almost full, you can store folders and messages on your Mac. In Mail, go to the Mailbox menu, click New Mailbox, and choose the location "On My Mac". Then drag folders into that new mailbox to move them to your local computer, and off the email server.
If your hard drive is full, this won't help, and you need a different approach.

Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?

Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?
I was using a photoshop droplet on my desktop but this no longer works due to the fact it requires rosetta support.
Thx P

From another forum after googling:
Your computer came with everything you need, because ColorSync can do that and Apple provided AppleScripts for it. Go to your Applications folder and look for the AppleScript folder. Double click on the 'Example Scripts' alias and then open the ColorSync scripts. Drag and drop your images on the the 'Match to CMYK' script.
You can open AppleScript Editor from Launchpad (it's in Utilities). Go to Help to Open Example Scripts Folder. In the ColorSync folder is a Match application. Double click to make it run.
Now you know what it does you may need to change it for batch conversion.
Go to AppleScript Editor and open what you've just found. And I'm sorry that's as far as my knowledge goes, hope some one can fill in the gaps.
Or you may just want to look at something like Graphic Converter?

Quick way to convert many files from AIFF to MP3

I have a large collection of CDs and until now, did not have a computer or an iPod to hold all of them. I borrowed a friends external hard drive and copied all of the cd files onto it. I just recently bought a MacBook Pro, and loaded all of the files into my iTunes... Only to find that since I couldn't import the cds into an iTunes in the first place, only the file names transferred over- not the album/artist info. So I have been spending a lot of time adding that info manually. I also just realized that all of the files were in AIFF format, and not MP3 so they are taking up a large amount of space on my itunes. I have not yet gotten a better iPod, so they are just sitting in my iTunes right now. I was hoping there is an easy way to convert them all to MP3 without having duplicates in my iTunes to weed through. I have 4000+ songs, so that would take a while.
also, if there is some magical way to get the artist/album info without having to type it all in, that would be great too.
thanks in advance.

Yes highlight the ones you want to convert and follow the instructions in this support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
without having duplicates in my iTunes to weed through. I have 4000+ songs, so that would take a while.
There is no weeding necessary. After the converion completes, sort by Date Added and all the new ones will be together.
