ACC Conversion

I just hooked up my Nano and hoped that, like with the Shuffle, it would convert songs into ACC file type before putting them onto the ipod, therefore conserveing space on the IPOD and leaving the song in origanal format on my computer. The Shuffle has an option under preferences to do this, but when I go to the preferences with the Nano this option is not avaiible. Any ideas why not?

Personally, I thing that would be an undesirable feature. I doubt there is anything gained by converting an MP3 to AAC. About the only time this would be useful is when trying to load WMA or another format the iPod won't play... While I'd like to see the iPod support playback of certain types, it would be acceptable to me if iTunes could at least read them and convert them to AAC upon upload to my iPod. I have some tunes in ogg and FLAC... Until that day comes, get yourself a copy of dBpowerAMP (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/). It's an excellent tool for converting music from one format to another.

  • ITunes Lossless to ACC conversion

    I've been playing around with the idea of a media server, and have come up with some questions prior to doing this...
    Question: Has anyone come up with an automator script that will convert lossless files from one library into ACC, then deposit them in another library?
    Why this is important to me:
    -goal is to have large external HD as a media server with a mac mini/iTV as front end.
    -would like to have iMac hardwired to external HD via Firewire for data manipulation/editing, then upload into 'Master Source' file for photos, music, movies
    -would like mac mini/iTV (eventually) to act as always on front end client for external HD; would be hardwired/firewired to external HD to prevent lag time; thus could use front row for browsing photos, music, movies off TV monitor
    NOTE: no desire for cable/sattelite viewing - what I want to watch I would buy on DVD (backup reasons)
    -would like to have music stored in lossless format on external HD for home stereo use, etc, and have a duplicate library in AAC on desktop for syncing with ipod nano
    -look for my posts on Front Row issues/wish list for TS file viewing, problems with multiple iPhoto libraries, iTunes for mulitple libraries/browsing

    ... when i come across a future lossless audio file that i want to convert to ACC what bitrate is recommended for a quality imitation of MP3 audio? 
    The most common bitrate for either AAC or MP3 is 256, but if you want that little increment of quality go with 320.
    Somewhere above about 160 the differences between MP3 and AAC vanish, so if you have a bitrate that you like for MP3 use it also for AAC.

  • ALAC to ACC Conversion During a Sync

    In the past I imported most of the iTunes music on my Mac is in ALAC format.  The ACC formats are pretty good now so I don't mind using 256 ACC.
    Will iTunes convert my ALAC music on my Mac to 256 ACC on my iPhone.  If so, how do I configure it to do that?

    We are getting closer, but still not quite agreeing.
    You said, "you don't need to restore. If you removed the 128 MP3 in iTunes, just sync. It will remove the MP3 version and put the new version on."
    Assume there is no 128 MP3 song in iTunes on the Mac to delete.  The 128 MP3 version on the iPhone came from downconverting during a previous download.
    "Or simply make the change, stop the sync and restart the sync.
    Or let it complete the sync then resync it."
    Your second statement is not consistent with your first, which was, "I assume an iTunes sync would not replace the 128 MP3 iPhone versions with 256 ACC ones."
    Are you suggesting I go through the files on the iPhone, one by one, and delete all that have compression quality less than 256 ACC?  That would be tedious.  I just plugged in my iPhone, selected Music, and then tried to sort the Kind column by clicking on "Kind".  It did not sort them by "Kind".  It starts listing ACC, then lists MPEG, then lists ACC again.  As far as I can tell I can only sort on Genres, Artists, and Albums.  Even if I could sort on Kind, it would not sort on Bitrate, so I could not group the 256 ACC files.
    So I state again, there is no non-tedious method to upgrade the 128 MP3 files on the iPhone, except for deleting and syncing the all of the music on the iPhone.

  • ACC Conversion w/iTunes

    I'm trying to convert this file to an ACC and once its done it still says that its an MPEG. Does it have to be ACC anyways?
    Stan

    It doesnt have to be AAC, but it helps if the MPEG file is a large one. If your MPEG file is more than one meg per minute, then it will be smaller if you convert it to AAC with no discernable quality reduction. you will save a LOT of space.
    EXAMPLE: A song file that is 5 minutes and 45 seconds is 8MB. After I converted it, it magically became: 5.4MB. This will save tons of space if you have several thousand songs.
    If the track is a podcast MPEG however, then i reccomend not convert it because a 20 minute podcast is usually set to the lowest MPEG setting and is only like 7 MB, whereas the same file in AAC would be like 18MB.

  • Is ACC conversion now 256 VBR?

    Because not too long ago I converted all my music files to ACC 128 Kbps.
    Now I can't convert to that level anymore. But with a minimum of 256 VBR.
    1 song at about 4 minutes takes up like 8.3 MB! Too high where you can't tell the difference. Between 128 and 256!

    oh, no... Apple didnt have much to update in 8.1 so they just took an old jeans, washed it & tagged it as brand new,,, LOL
    On top of iTunes, there are options... select edit>preferences>General> *Import settings* >Import Using: AAC> Setting> Custom ----set according to your preference, 128 kbps is fine +for most+, expect do a little justice for +rock songs+, as 256 kbps offers much higher sound quality, so you hear all the amazing details of guitar, drums.. etc.

  • WMA to ACC conversion: memory problem addition

    The question: is there anyways to convert my WMA files as I go rather than deleting them afterwards?
    The reason I ask is because I simply don't have enough disk space for two sets of my songs. My music isn't exactly consolidated neatly so it would be pretty brutal to convert some, find the selected songs, delete them and convert some more. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try burning your songs to audio CD in Windows Media Player and then import that CD into iTunes in whatever format you prefer.

  • AAC 128 Conversion Error -50

    I am attempting to sync my iTunes library to my iPhone and iPad using the 128 kbs ACC conversion option. Most content seems to sync fine, but there is a specific song that the AAC converter seems to get stuck on with an "unknown error -50", and causes the sync to fail. I am sure I can "manually manage music and videos" to get around syncing this specific song, but that isn't a decent solution for me.
    What I have tried:
    Manually converting the offending song to 128 AAC using the Acvanced - Convert to AAC option, and the manual conversion outside of the sync process fails.
    Rename the song, because the song and the album share the same name.
    Neither option have helped.

    I started by getting this error...
    "iTunes could not copy "xxx" to the iPhone "my iphone name" because an unknown error occurred (-50)."
    Happens on a few songs (and halts the sync operation). The songs play fine on the Mac and I can find no issue with the actual file itself on the disk - it just won't transfer to the iPhone.
    So after searching, I linked this error to the conversion to 128 kbps AAC. I tried converting one of the offending songs, and get a similar error.
    Songs have no embedded lyrics (but do have artwork).
    Out of > 4,500 songs (~23 Gb) it seems there's less than a dozen that cause this issue.

  • ACC to MP3 conversion created m4a files

    I no longer have an iPhone so I converted my music library to mp3 from acc files to make them compatable with our cars USB flash drive input headunits.
    Everything got converted to m4a files.  Is there a way to convert to true mp3 files?

    Think I have this sorted out.  My assumption was that the mp3 files would be in the Music\iTunes folder structure.
    Folders have the m4a files, however when I cut/paste the file direct from itunes, it pastes as a mp3 file.
    So I did a search and found a alternative path (subfolder \music folder) with my entire music library copied as mp3 files.
    I guess this is a good thing as I still retained the Apple file version, as well have a seperate mp3 set.

  • Conversion accélération vitesse et déplacement

    Boujours à tous,
    je viens vers vous, car comme le titre l'indique je dispose d'un accéléromètre qui renvoie un signal en v ( 120mv /g) . Je souhaite à l'aide de mon entrée analogique qui receptionne la valeur de mon accélération obtenir le déplacement et la vitesse. Je sais que je dois réaliser une double intégration. Je veux également réaliser une acquisition continue de l'acc déplacement et vitesse... Cependant jusqu'à présent et malgrés de nombreux exemples que j'ai pu observer je ne trouve pas chaussure à mon pied. Il semblerait que je mesure un bruit assez important, je songeais surement à réaliser une autocorrélation...
    ci-joint mon Vi . Quelqu'un peut-il me dépanner ou me transmettre un exemple de Vi correspondant à mon application . car je ne trouve que des exemples "théoriques".

    Bonjour emmamto,
    Voici un diagramme qui réalise le calcul que tu souhaite (si je ne me suis pas trompé ;-)
    Concernant ta seconde question je ne suis pas certain de bien la comprendre... si le tension vient d'un capteur tu devrai trouver dans la doc la relation entre les deux qui est en général un relation du type ax+b. Pour implémenter cela en LabVIEW tu peux utiliser les fonctions de la palette Numérique

    an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

    This is good for me but what happened?
    I don't understand the question...  Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
    It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing.  That takes much longer than just syncing the songs. 
    Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting.  For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality.  You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

  • My itunes wont convert acc to mp3

    can anyone help ??
    im trying to add music to my ipod from legitamate cds that i have bought it says they have to be converted from ACC to MP3.. fine its always comeup with that so i click convert... it gets through a few of the songs in the album then stops responding and i have to end the program on task manager...
    what going on???
    this has never happened before its only since i installed the latest update for itunes!

    I've just tried importing a WMA file and iTunes converted it as the file was imported. So that suggests that you should need to do any conversions, simply use File/Add File to library (or File/Add folder to library) and iTunes will do it for you.
    Alternatively, import from the CDs your bought. It might be quicker.

  • Conversion inquiries

    I've got a few questions about converting audio files, though I fear they may be a bit more complicated than the usual fare. My inquiries concern the conversion of songs from 128 kbps AAC format to either 256 kpbs VBR (varible bit rate encoding) AAC or 320 kbps AAC (I'm wanting the best quality possible for storing a fairly large amount of music on my iPod and these seem to be my best options).
    I read that transcoding compressed files from one compressed type to another causes quality degradation (although compressed to uncompressed and vice versa supposedly does not add extra degradation, correct?). What I would like to know is
    (1) there a quality loss transcoding between the same type of compressed format (ACC) but to a different bit rate? In my case from 128 to 256 VBR or 128 to 320.
    (2) if so, is it negligible compared to the increase in quality that would be gained from increasing the bit rate?
    (3) And while I'm at it, is there or is there not quality degradation when converting a compressed format to an uncompressed one or vice versa? In my case, from 128 AAC to Apple Lossless or AIFF? (wouldn't mind having a few of my favorite CDs in the highest quality)
    And yes, I know the best way to ensure optimum quality is to encode the songs directly from the original CD into the desired format. However, most of my 300+ cd collection was stolen last year, so I all I have are the imported versions in 128 kbps AAC format.
    At any rate, any information that anyone might have for my scenario would be very much appreciated. Also, if any of my explanation seems a bit too convoluted to make sense of, please let me know and I will try to clarify.
    Thanks,

    Hi Brandon--
    I can't think of any advantage to you in converting your files, which are 128kbps AAC, to a higher bit rate. All you'd be doing is making files that don't sound any better but take up more space.
    As for changing to AIFF or Apple Lossless, there wouldn't be any decrease in sound quality, but again, all you'd be doing is making the file size larger.
    It's like making a VHS copy of a High Definition video tape. You can make a new High Definition copy from the VHS, but it will won't gain any clarity or resolution back. It'll just be a very faithful copy of of the VHS, warts and all.
