Wave Files and Album Art

Can you add album art to .wav files?

Can you add album art to .wav files?
From the point of view of iTunes the answer is no, you cannot add Album Art to WAV files.
In terms of adding meta tags to WAV files, one or two programs use RIFF chunks to store meta tags in WAV files, this is actually how Apple do it for AIFF files. However iTunes does not support this for WAV files, and Windows Media Player does not support reading the tags in AIFF files.
If you are looking for a lossless music format that can be shared between iTunes and Windows Media Player then I have been there, got the T-Shirt, etc.
A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away... before I ripped all my CDs to iTunes, I considered what format to use that would be lossless and shareable amongst everything I was interested in.
That is, what is the one true lossless format (to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them...).
Initially I thought WAV, as it could be played by iTunes, iPod, and of course Windows Media Player, but I instantly discovered iTunes could not add artwork to WAV files. I then checked and confirmed Windows Media Player can as standard play AIFF files. However while it can play them, because it cannot read the meta tags in AIFF files, it will not let you add them to the Window Media Player library. At that time, I did not seriously think it would be possible to use Apple Lossless files in Windows Media Player, but I checked and I was right, it was not possible and it was believed at that time that it would never be possible since Apple Lossless is a proprietary format.
I did initially settle on using AAC instead (a lossey format) which can be played and used (with additional software) with Windows Media Player.
However I never give up and continued on my quest for the holy grail of one lossless format to rule them all.
FLAC and OGG can sort of be used in iTunes for Mac, but not on iPod, so they were ruled out. WMA lossless was instantly ruled out because while it might be possible to import in to iTunes (for Windows), it cannot be used in iTunes (meaning you would have two copies of each track), and it also cannot be used on the iPod.
I then used some lateral thinking, while there is no Apple Lossless solution for Windows Media Player, is there a solution that runs on Windows and maybe could be adapted to use with Windows Media Player? I found solutions for use with Foobar 2000, WinAmp, and dbPowerAmp, but none of these would work with Windows Media Player. I then found mention of the BASS software library (for programmers to use to write music programs) which is available for both Mac and Windows. See http://www.un4seen.com/ I also found that a module had been written for use with BASS to play Apple Lossless. However BASS by itself still would not work as a directshow filter for use with Windows Media Player. I then found mention of someone taking BASS, and an MP3 module, and packaging it as a directshow filter for use with WMP. Ah, hah! I thought, all we need is to do the same thing but with the Apple Lossless module. I was able to get in-touch with the programmer who had done that and persuade him to do the same thing with the Apple Lossless module which was written by MaresWEB and now available as open-source code here http://www.maresweb.de/projects/bass/alac.php
Jackpot, I can now play Apple Lossless in iTunes, iPod, Roku Soundbridge, Sonos ZonePlayer, SlimDevices Squeezebox, Apple TV, iPhone, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Media Center 2005, etc. etc. etc.
The one true lossless format is therefore the one you would least expect, it is Apple Lossless!
The Apple Lossless directshow filter which Milenko Mitrovic packaged together is available from his website http://www.dsp-worx.de see the January 8th 2007 entry.
You will also need a plugin for Windows Media Player to let it read MPEG4 meta tags, this plugin would also be used for AAC files as they use the same MPEG4 file format and tags. There are two available (both free) either this one http://wmptagext.sourceforge.net/ or this one http://www.softpointer.com/WMPTagSupport.htm
iTunes can of course add album artwork to Apple Lossless tracks (including as embedded art), it is possible (with various steps) to add Apple Lossless tracks to Windows Media Player, and have it play them and manage them in its library, and it is possible to use folder.jpg files with Windows Media Player for its copies of the artwork.

Protected and Purchased ACC audio files

I have been upgrading to iTunes plus on alot my songs in itunes and now I have the same song twice in my libary, 1 as a Protected ACC audio file and 1 as a Purchased ACC audio file. Can I get rid of the protected file or do I have to keep both of the files

+"Can I get rid of the protected file"+
Of course. Why would you keep a crappy version around when you have a good version of the same song?

Question on Lost Tags and Album Art

O.K., I mentioned in another thread that my iTunes library suddenly vanished, but I have been able to “Add file to library” to get everything back in there. Unfortunately, a lot of my album art and my tagging went back to the way it was before I modified it. If I open iTunes again and find nothing there (seems unfortunately to be common) and have to add the folder back in, is there anyway to do that with all the tags and album art in tact?

Hi Ken,
If this is what I think you are referring to Ken, then don't worry, all is not lost.
This has happened to me once or twice in the past when either installing a new version of iTunes or when I have re-linked my iPod to my other computer.
One thing to check first though:
If you open iTunes and look in your Library and select any track you like (you dont kneed to play it) and make sure that you have the 'Show or Hide Song Artwork' tab at the bottom left of iTunes (its the fourth one in) selected, can you see the Artwork for your track?
I know you are concerned about the artwork on your iPod, but this is important, if it is showing thats great. If not, it might just be switched off. If you look at the grey bar that makes the top of the Artwork box that views the image, does it say 'Selected Song' or 'Now Playing'? If it is the latter, then with your mouse just click on it and your Artwork for that track should appear.
Makes sure this is the case for a few others, and if so, your artwork is not lost and can easily be put back on to your iPod.
Now Make sure your iPod is connected and showing in the Sources list on the right of iTunes.
Now go into the iPod options menu by going to the Edit menu and selecting the bottom option 'Preferences' and then opening the iPod tab. You will see an option to show your artwork on your iPod. Select this then click OK out of the Preferences and do an update.
iTunes will then say its updating your iPod, and when it has confirmed that your music is updated, it will then import all your artwork back into your iPod and it should then be present when you use your iPod.
Depending how many tracks you have on your iPod and in iTunes, this might take quite some time. For me last time without about 4 tracks on an AMD Athlone this took about 40 minutes.
I hope this is of help.

Importing rights protected ACC audio files

MPEG vs ACC audio files

I've been listening to my MPEG and ACC audio files on my iPOD video for a few months now and I just noticed that my iPOD no longer has any of the MPEG audio files that I have in my iTunes library. Please help!

If you have mp3 versions (or some other version) of them sure. If you're asking if the AAC file of a MP3 counterpart is necessary, then the answer is no. They are two seperate and distinct files. Just different audio codecs.
It is completely up to you if you want to have AAC or MP3 files or whatever else. Just make sure you don't delete the only copy of your song is what I'm getting at.

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

Jayhawk
I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

I need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
any helpful full advice would be appreciated.
angus

Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
However....
When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
So.. if you didn't...
I would use this method instead...

Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
Thanks.

I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
Check out:

These both are GarageBand-oriented.

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

24/96 audio files and Apple TV

Can Apple TV support 24/96 audio files that are in iTunes? Or, does Apple TV only support 24/96?

So if I send the ATV a 24/96 audio file and output it via the digital optical output it to a DAC which accepts 24/96 and then to my audio system I should be good?
No, for some reason stereo audio is downconverted to CD quality 16/44.1 for playback, even over optical/HDMI.
It's been discussed a few times.
Here's one example with link to further discussion:
