AAC files from streaming audio????

Hi, my friend burned me a cd off an internet radio site, the songs were saved as .aac yet itunes won't let me import them nor will they play by clicking the file.
Could it be that these songs were copy protected in some way or is there a setting that will allow me to import aac files?
thanks

These must be raw AAC streams. In other words, they aren't in a recognized MPEG-4 container. You would be able to fix this easily on a PC using foobar2000, but on a Mac you'll have more difficulty. I would suggest reading up on the subject using some Internet searches and looking for possible command line utilities at sites like rarewares.

    It seems that you do not understand the problem at hand. I can listen on a m3u list using iTunes, VLC and other players, but I wish to listen on m3u lists as streaming music when I am on sites such as eMusic. For instance, I cannot listen on sample music at eMusic, but must download it first. Thus, it is not possible to listen on streaming music with Firefox. On the other hand, Opera and Safari handle m3u streaming music very well.
    Can you listen streaming music or samples at eMusic using Firefox without downloading m3u-list on your local disk?

  • MPD won't play AAC files from Streamripper

    I'm having some problems playing AAC files created by streamripper.  The files play just fine in Mplayer. This is the output I get in .mpd/log:
    faad: error decoding AAC stream: Invalid number of channels
    After googling I got the impression this might be a DRM issue.  I'm ripping a service I'm paying for (I only like about 80% of the music so I want to be able to skip tracks), so this seemed likely. On #mpd I was informed that mplayer wouldn't have played these files if they were DRM protected, so I've abandoned this line of investigation.
    If I try to run one of these files through faad I get:
    Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification
    Is this fixable?

    It seems you just need to rebuild your mdp package, because mpd supports AAC via ffmpeg but  new ffmpeg libs released yesteraday and you still have mpd built for old ffmpeg's libs.
    Use ABS for this and if all will be ok then report bug.
    I have the same problem from yesterday but with the moc  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31743
    Doesn't the log message indicate that MPD uses faad to decode AAC file and not ffmpeg? A new version of MPD came right out after your post; it did not solve my problem.  For now I'm manually converting the files from AAC to ogg in order to play them, using the latest version of ffmpeg.

    can anyone help? can i alter the import settings to allow this or should i go back to the original cd's again?
    thanks

    Hey Kevin,
    thanks for your reply. I fixed the problem.
    I need to download these 3 programs from RED:
    RED APPLE WORKFLOW INSTALLER

  • .MOV files from iphone - audio but no video in QuickTime

    iphone 3gs, latest DirectX and Quicktime. Downloaded .mov files from iphone don't play correctly in QuickTime. The audio is there but there is no video, just a black screen.
    I tried switching the video to "safe mode". This does show the video, but its terribly choppy and unwatchable.
    I believe something changed recently with an update to itunes or QuickTime. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    How do I get this file to play?
    By installing the proper video codec component if available as advised by application. See the video "Format:" entry in finder "Info", QT "Inspector", or "Property" window. Basically you must have the same playback decoder installed on your second machine as was used to encode the video the first. Sounds as if the component configurations on the two machines are not the same.

  • AAC files from iTunes 7 won't play on third party player

    I use my Sony Ericsson W900i as my main digital audio player, and since i have upgraded to iTunes 7 i have found that any file that i have imported or converted into the standard (128Kbps) AAC format (and then transferred) will not play on my W900i. However, my W900i has no problem playing AAC files encoded with any previous versions of iTunes.
    Can anyone tell me the possible reasons for this (is it to do with gapless palyback?) and let me know if there is any way of solving this problem.
    Thanks

    Thanks, Kay. Here's what I found after trying your suggestions:
    First, I was using CD-R, and I know that's important.
    Second, I double checked and yes, I was burning to AudioCD.
    Third, I tried new CD-R media, et voilla!, it worked (first media was Maxell CD-R Music CD, and what worked was Sony CD-R). But here's the catch. Before upgrading to iTunes 5, CDs I had burned using the Maxell CD-R Music CDs worked fine in the player (still do). Now they don't. What could possibly cause that behavior? I thought a CD-R was pretty much a CD-R, and further, that the software should work pretty much the same re: how it burns to different media, even after an upgrade. Guess I'm wrong on at least one account.
    BTW, I don't want to blame iTunes 5 as I don't know for sure, but I have had lots of crashes and kernal panics since upgrading...

  • Create AAC files from ALAC

    I want to copy some files to a small 30Gig iPod, so do not want to sync large ALAC files over to it.
    I know it is possible to create AAC versions of the files, but that then leaves me with duplicates of all the songs on the library. I sync'd to the iPod and deleted all AAC files.
    It was then I realised, that not all my library is ALAC....I did already have some AAC files....which I had just deleted. I ended up doing a Time Machine restore of the complete Music/iTunes folder.
    I do not want to make that mistake again.
    Is there another way I can do this? All the songs I want to convert to AAC, sync and then delete are in a single playlist.
    I was thinking of maybe creating a new library of just AAC files, but how do I export just selected files. I cant seem to find any export files type options. If I could get all the files into a single folder, then I could create a new library and copy all that new folders contents into it.

    You might take a look at this script (courtesy of Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes):

  • Moving aac file from music to ringtone folder

    Can someone please help me figure out how to transfer a converted .wav file (now in aac format I believe) from my iTunes music folder to my ringtones folder? I've searched every possible area I know to figure it out, but still cannot.
    Thanks,
    S

    If there isn't a file explorer app already installed on your phone, you should download one from the Play Store. I personally like ES File Explorer, but I know there are many other ones out there.
    Once you have a file explorer installed, you will need to locate the music file you want to move. That might be a challenge unless you know where it was saved. Once located, you will move or copy it to the "ringtones" folder for phone call tones or the "notifications" folder for text and email message notifications.

  • Matched AAC files from iPod no longer match in itunes

    I have several songs that were previously "matched" using the iTunes Match service.  I had imported the songs in the "matched" status to my iPod.
    A few months ago, I accidently wiped my iCloud/iTunes Match account clean.  I recently began the process of reimporting my iPod music into the iTunes Match service.  Because many of the songs on my iPod were previously "matched", and are still listed as - Kind: Match AAC within my iPod, I don't understand why iTunes felt the need to upload them.  Currently within iTunes they are listed as, Uploaded.
    Why can't iTunes re-match my music?  The tracks are very common Top 40 hits are are all currently available in the iTunes Store.

    The iTunes Match process is inexact, it is simply not recgnising the Songs as close enough to those it already has.  Sometimes it is worth a trial by burning a few of the Songs to audio CD, then import at 256 kbit AAC.

  • Loading project files from Logic Audio 3.5 to Logic Express 8

    I have been using an old Mac and a very old version of Logic (Logic Audio 3.5) for years now. I recently upgraded to a MacBook and to Logic Express 8. The user manual tells me that Logic Express 8 will load project files back to version 5. I have a number of recording projects semi-complete, in progress, or on hold and having to import individual audio files for each will be a major undertaking. Any suggestions on how I can import projects into my new set-up quickly and easily? I was diligent about keeping all files in separate folders on my old Mac - so all related files for a given project should be found in the same folder.

    Yes. Logic 7 can import Songs in version 4 format. If you have Songs in that format, it only takes a few seconds to open & re-save each Song, & when you do they will be in version 5 format, which Logic 8 can read.
    However, if your Songs pre-date version 4, your task will be much harder… you will have to find someone somewhere running a version of Logic that can read these, which at a guess would mean someone running System 9.2.2 or earlier!
    As for speeding up your workflow… the conversion is quick, but updating old Songs to a contemporary setup will take as long as you're willing to spend on it!
    (To be clear: when you convert, nothing changes except the Song version. All your assets — Audio files etc. — will still be looked-for in the same places.)

  • Extracting mono files from Multitimbral audio file

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to find a way to import a 64-channel multitimbral audiofile into Logic. I need to find a way to extract the 64 channels as separate mono files. Logic can import the file but treats it only as a surround file. Any ideas on how to handle this?
    Best regards,
    Ginge

    Hi Data Stream. Pyramix makes files like these and treats them as seperate channels once imported into Pyramix. I might want to ask the Pyramix engineer to export as OMF or AAF, but first I'd like to ascertain there is no way I can split this file myself.
    The closest I've come is actually with the QuickTime Player 7 which allows me to rearrange the outputorder of all 64 channels but, it seems, not extract them.
    I know Peak was good for splitting files earlier but I haven't tried it in years. Anyone know if it would be able to do this job?

  • MP4 files only streaming audio

    Hi,
    We've been running FMS 3 for about 3 months now and someone
    just sent me an MP4 encoded video file. THe file plays through
    quicktime locally just fine.
    When I load the video to the FMS and test only the audio file
    plays back.

    To see H.264 content, you need to play the file with Flash
    Player 9,0,115,0 or later. If you're using CS3, the player used for
    the test movie environment (Control > Test Movie) doesn't
    support H.264.
    To see H.264 content, you also need Flash Media Server 3.5 --
    FMS 3 doesn't know what "mp4:" means.
    Here's an in-depth article about MPEG-4 support:

  • How do I transfer an aac file from iTunes to my iPhone5?

    I created two ringtones on my HTC Evo with Zedge and saved them on my computer. I saved them in iTunes in the music library. I was able to get them on the iPhone as music. How can I get them to work as ringtones? Also, how can I add the two ringtones that I made to the Ringtone folder on iTunes?

    Well, I solved my own problem. Read an article on how to convert the files to .mr4, and they went right into the Ringtone folder on iTunes!

  • Adding BPM info' to files imported from original audio CD's. HELP!!!

    If you can offer any help, it is MUCH needed & will be much appreciated!
    I am in the process of digitising my entire CD collection (100's of them!). I am running iTunes 4 on my iBook G4 (OS 10.3.9). I've worked out how to import & catalogue files - from original audio CD's to iTunes 4 - no problem.
    I aim to import all at the highest quality possible (files need to be "broadcast quality" - for playing through a big PA system) & have been advised to import all using the AAC encoder at a stereo bit rate of 320 kbps with a sample rate of 48.000 kHz. If anyone knows of settings for a higher qulaity, please advise.
    I am then getting track info (track names, album names etc) in the normal manner (via iTunes data base query). No worries with this, all info has been located & appears to be acurate.... HOWEVER.... no BPM info downloads with the title list? There is a dialogue window in iTunes that should contain BPM info but it is empy!
    I really need the BPM info to further catalogue my playlists. How & where do I download this information... or is there a way to get iTunes to calculate BPM's & add it to my existing lists?
    As you may have guessed, this info is invaluable to me as I am a DJ. I would be keen to hear from other DJ's out there, who are using iTunes & Traktor 5 (or similar live remix software).
    All the best & many thanks - Sweetamix.
    Ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    If you want the highest quality, AIFF (lossless uncompressed) or Apple Lossless (lossless compressed) would be the choice.
    AAC is a lossy compressed format and won't give you the highest quality, although 320 kbps sounds very good on my audio system (but that's not a PA system).
    Audio CDs are 44.100 kHz 16 bit, so importing at 48.000 doesn't make sense to me.
    DVD audio often is 20 bit 48.000 kHz.
    BPM information is not on Audio CD's. the only BPM's I've got in the library are from my own 'creations' with Garageband and a handful of mp3's.

  • How to remove image files from audio files

    i dont understand enough about how itunes worked...So my problem is, when i would add album art to a song, i would copy and past to the artwork box on the song. When i would find a better image, i would just past over the last one, not realizing that it was actually adding another image. This form of Copy/past(as i understand) saves the image to the audio file. *My question:* how do i remove the image files from the audio files...?

    Right click on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library CTRL & Click on each of the songs you want to highlight)
