Transfer from MP3 disc to PC Music Libr

Can anyone advise on how to transfer tracks from an MP3 disc to PC Music Library in Media source? I use the Media source and transfer the tracks to my PC but can't access the MP3 tracks later to burn a CD or transfer to the Zen Micro. The location of the track stays in the D:\ ... dri've and not transferred to the hard disk under C:\...
I have no problem with audio CDs as I just rip them. What should I do with MP3 files?
Thanks.

In Windows Explorer, copy the music files from your MP3 CD into your music directory (say, "C:\Music"). Then, in Creative MediaSource, import the music files from "C:\Music" into MediaSource's PC Music Library.

First please complete your profile without knowing anything about your system it's very difficult to help. You can find info on how to do this by navigating to:https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3602
For information on how to use Remote Disk please click Apple's advice letter on it, located at:support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

Transfer from iphone 3 to iphone music lost

I recently switched from iphone 3 to iphone 4, backed it up, took it into the store as I needed help. Long story short, my music has disappeared, and not even plugging my phone into my laptop finds it. Seems there is no music on my laptop either, even though it was backed up. I am hopeless in these matters, what have I done?

The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content. You should be transferring any purchases made on the iphone to your computer regularly.
Is the music on your computer? If so, then sync it to your iphone.
If not, then you can redownload itunes purchases in some countries
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I currently have two dell computers one laptop and one desktop. I am planning on going to get a new Mac laptop this weekend and i had a question about the windows install disk that came with the computer i already own. the disk is distributed by dell and says only for installation on dell systems. could i use this to install windows into boot camp on my new mac, or will it mess up the bios and such?
It won't work. Dell only supplies recovery CDs. They have the hardware needed for the Dell and that's it. I would also guess that it does not have SP2 incorporated into it. You could mess up your Mac, but it would not install so why even bother with it?
You need the full XP with SP2 embedded or Vista CD or DVD. Anything less won't work.

Transfer music from MP3 player to the compu

HI, I would like to ask what I need to download if I want to transfer back my music from MP3 Zen to the computer. It is because I bought a new computer, so I just have the music backup from the MP3 player, would you suggest a way to do so. Thank you very much for all of your kind attention.

Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

Transfer files from MP3 to compu

I have all my music loaded on my MP3 but my laptop was stolen. How do I transfer information from my MP3 player back to my computer. I don't want to have to reload music from the discs. HELP. Thanks. TJD062

If you have your install disc just install the Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer files. Then after it is installed open the player thru My Computer & copy & paste the files to Your My Music folder. Or install Creative Media Source & do it that way.

How to download to PC Music Library from MP3 CD in Media Sou

Please advise how to download MP3 tracks from an external source such as a disc. I have been ripping CDs but I just recently tried downloading from an MP3 CD. I followed all the instructions indicated from "Importing" files etc. But in PC Music Library, the tracks or files are still in the location of the Disk Dri've and not in my hard disk. So naturally I can't play them or burn them into another CD. Once I eject the source disk, the tracks are not playable.
Am I missing a step? Thanks for any advice.

Copy the files from the disc to your PC then import them into the library from there.
As you have found, the library is just a database of the locations of the songs, not copies of the songs themselves. If you put them into the library from a removable dri've such as a CD-ROM or a pen dri've then they won't be found when that dri've isn't attached.

I want to transfer some mp3 files to my iPad from my Mac book pro...is this do-able and if so how do I do it?

I want to transfer some MP3 files from my Mac book pro to my Ipad.....is that doable? I have connected my Ipad to my Mac but I don't see where to sync them together.
HELP please!!!

The first thing that you should probably do is to turn off auto syncing just in case....or have you already done that?
Launch iTunes and got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing.
Now you will have to launch iTunes on your own when you connect the iPad to the Mac. After you connect and start iTunes, click on your device, them click on the Summary Window. If you uncheck Manually Manage, etc. - then the option to select Sync only Selected Songs and Videos should be available. I don't think you can have both options selected at the same time.
You should also transfer your purchased music into iTunes is you haven't done that yet. Take a look at this now.
Transfer purchases.

After you transfer purchases, You should be able to select and choose whatever you want to sync with regard to music, playlists, albums, etc ...as well as apps, photos and so on.

Missing music on burnt mp3 disc

I recently began converting my own albums to mp3 discs for my new car stereo which plays mp3 cds...however, when I go to burn the cd, it reports that much of it cannot be burnt as an mp3 disc...almost every album! I seem to remember converting everything to (m4) or something of that nature...would that have an effect, or is there some way that I can unlock my own imports to allow burning? They all play fine on the ipod and burn normally as a music cd.
Thank you.

To burn an MP3 CD, all the songs have to be in mp3-format already.
iTunes and most other MP3 CD burning applications don't convert other formats.
This is contrary to burning an Audio CD, where all formats are converted 'on the fly' into the native format of an Audio CD.
All non-mp3 formats (except purchased songs from the iTunes Store) can be easily converted to mp3.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format tells you how to do that.
iTunes creates copies of the original songs in the chosen format.
Hope this helps.

Receiving "internal error" when trying to burn mp3 disc from playlist

I'm trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist that I've created. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error. I'm currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on my iMac which is currently running 10.8.3. I've done this many times before, and this is the first that I've had this problem. Here's the error I keep getting:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An internal error occured.
If you want to retry the current failed burn, click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel.
Here's how it goes down:
I've created a very long playlist which will require the use of multiple discs.
I right-click on the playlist and select to burn the playlist to disc.
I then get the usual burn settings pop-up menu where I select the "MP3 CD" format with a preferred speed of "Maximum Possible"
Note: Since experiencing this error, I have tried varried speeds ranging from 8x to 24x; I still get the error.
Note Also: I have tried selecting "Audio CD" instead, and the playlist will burn and the error does not appear. This is not an option I want to go with, however, because of the length of the playlist — it would take, like, 25 discs...
For a moment iTunes will read the disc, then ask permission for the playlist to be split across multiple discs. I say "ok".
At this point, iTunes will say that it is initiallizing for about a split second then immediately say it's finalizing and spit out the disc. This is when the error pops up.If I select to "Retry", it doesn't retry to burn; it just saves a .txt file to my desktop that is a copy of the error message. There's no error code/number or anything, though - just the exact same message. "Cancel" and "Next" seem to behave correctly, though.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and restarting my computer. I've also tried using different brands of CDs: Memorex CD-R and Innovera CD-R. The error persists.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Music Transfer from iPod to iPod

How can I transfer my music from one iPod to another new one?

You can't transfer from one iPod to another. If your songs are in iTunes connect your new iPod and it will update from there. When you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.

HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes. I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub. Any suggestions?

Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully. Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. Anyways. Question to anyone else.
If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes? Directly? Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history. The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring. I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B.
I have tried magic but it is not working.

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

How do i get all my music to transfer from an old ipod to new ipod touch? when i log into my account just my purchased music appears?

To transfer non-iTunes purchased music from an iPod to a computer requires use of a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
