Adding picture to mp3 files in iTunes Bugs found!
There is a bug when you adding picture to lots of music in an album. Which you when you finish adding the picture, some of them changed the picture...but there are some not changed. Those not changed picture mp3 files are all bugged, the bug is which your music will be repeating at the first few sec. Its kinda annoying! Need to delete the whole mp3 file away...
Please help to contact Apple about this bugs and fix it quickly! Thank you.
I was having the same issue with a few (not all) .m4k files on a NAS -- in my case the problem was something with file attributes/permissions (I'm using Windows 7).
ITunes could not change the actual file (rename/move to keep organized, add artwork, etc), though Windows would update the file date when I did attempt these things. Permissions seemed fine for the files, but the fix was to simply change an attribute and hit 'Apply' from the file properties window (right click file in File Explorer...Properties).
Specifically, most of my files had the Archive attribute checked, which I just unchecked and hit Apply. The issue wasn't the setting since all of my files have this attribute set and most can be edited by Itunes, but by changing the attribute, it fixed whatever weird issue there was with iTunes altering the file.

How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?
How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do.
Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one. -
I Can't import MP3 files in iTunes?
When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
(I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
Thanks in advance for any help !!!1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do -
I can't import mp3 files into iTunes
Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
Any ideas? Thanks!No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source? It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes. You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them. Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in. They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be. -
Why can't I add mp3 files to itunes?
I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 I've been able to add mp3 files to iTunes by going to file-->add folder to library-->and selecting My Music. I have 5,000+ mp3 files in that folder that USED to play fine on itunes, but they don't show up! I can still play a song by double clicking, but it doesn't stay in my iTunes library. Any ideas? Or is this just a really annoying bug?
I'm having this problem too. Not with all mp3 files, just some. But this particular file I can't even double click to listen.......
Hope you get a reply! -
Problems importing .mp3 files to itunes
I'm having problems importing .mp3 files to itunes, it's importing the song name tage with "artist - song title" when it should just be the song title?
Chad,
Glad to hear that Steve's script was helpful.
As to the bug, I don't know. The problem you report is not common. Usually when iTunes displays artist-title in the Name field, it is either an untagged MP3 or a WAV file, but in those cases it does not correct itself when you give it a kick. Between that and the non-refresh problem you report, I think there is something else going on besides a tagging issue. At your convenience, you may want to reinstall the newest iTunes, and see if it helps.
Anyway, enjoy the music!

Suddenly unable to upload mp3 files using iTunes Match
I've got a USB turntable and have enjoyed digitizing a lot of LPs and copying them into iTunes. I digitized a 10-track album just yesterday, and can copy the resulting mp3 files into iTunes, where they play fine, but they won't upload to iCloud using iTunes Match. It gets to the point where it's supposed to upload tracks it cannot match and just sits there. I use Audacity to digitize from the USB turntable, and it exports as MP3 file. This has worked over many albums but now seems to be stuck. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
So my issue appears to be with uploading mp3 files that probably won't match anything in iCloud.
iTunes match matches Audio files by comparing the audio and not by comparing the tags for the album. My iTunes Library contains more than 500 songs that have been ripped and matched from vinyl records or audio tapes.
The songs will not match, if there is not the exact same recording in the store, but if the audo quality is good and the tempo of the player was exact, the song will be matched. -
Artist search is broken for MP3 files in iTunes 11?
I am having a first world problem.
I am using iTunes 11.01 on 2 Macs - an old 2006 iMac running 10.7.5, and a new MacBook Pro running 10.8.2. Both exhibit the same odd behavior.
If I add new MP3 files to iTunes (such as tracks from Amazon), artist name search may fail even though it is 100% certain that the artist is present in my library
If I add new AAC files, buy tracks from the iTunes Store or rip a CD to AAC, everything works fine
If I search for the album name(s), those always work correctly.
I can "fix" this by unchecking the search parameter "Search entire library", but that is not terribly satisfying. I cannot determine what is causing only certain file types to have this problem.
This is complicated by the fact that I use iTunes Match to coordinate about 20,000 tracks among my 4 devices (iMac, MacBook, iPhone, iPad).
Recipe:
Buy MP3 tracks from Amazon from an artist not presently in the library
Add them to iTunes (the Amazon downloader does this automatically)
Verify that the tracks play fine (they do)
Search for the artist name
Expected result:
Artist name is found, album is displayed
Actual result:
Nothing is found
Bizarro exception:
Go to another device connected to iTunes Match for this account
Search for the same artist as above
It works
Visual example:
In this example, I downloaded the new Bill Fay album from Amazon (hey, it was on sale!). As you can see, the search field is looking for "Bill Fay", and reporting that there are "No Results". But the album is plainly visible (and playing) in the album browser.
My hunch is that something about the new MP3 files causes the iTunes database to fail in some manner. The reason that other machines connected to iTunes Match work correctly is that the MP3 files are not present; only the "Matched" AAC files from the iTunes store and in iCloud.
Thoughts, y'all?For no reason I can fathom, search for the very same album that was causing grief yesterday now works normally, with "Search Entire Library" turned ON.
What happened in the interim? Not much. I took the MacBook from my office to my home, and thus changed networks, and I restarted the MacBook for unrelated reasons (I restart every few weeks just because I'm old and superstitious...). I did NOTHING to iTunes during that time.
Spooky. -

Would really appreciate some help as I'm about to go crazy!
When I'm trying to add new albums to iTunes they just won't stay in the library. They are mp3 format, not corrupted, not appearing at all. They seem to be uploading as usual after I drag the file into iTunes, but just don't appear in my library thereafter. I have checked several times and they are definitely not there, tried adding files individually, also tried converting them to other iTunes compatible formats- nothing.
Please help, I've got all this great music that won't stay put!Further info: my housemate just drop-boxed (mac to mac) a few of his albums that work fine in his iTunes and the same thing, they'll show in a playlist with their correct details but not in the main library. iTunes is definitely processing after I add them, and they are definitely not corrupt (shown MP3 scan +repair) - I've attached a couple of pictures to clarify.
Please help! I'm a bit OCB about my music being organised correctly I'll admit! -
Why can't I add mp3 files to iTunes for Mac 12.1?
I recently tried to add some mp3 files downloaded from a website that don't have DRM (it's folk dances for us to practice to) to iTunes 12.1 but without any success. Attempt to drag and drop the files from the downloads folder are ineffectual as though I've tried to perform a prohibited action. I've tried using Import to Library but again without success. I've searched for the files by name as I saw some reports that files were added but not visible in the library list until searched for - nada. The files aren't old and the website is a well managed secure site so I am not thinking this is some dodgy file issue.
Any help gratefully received - I'm brave enough to do a bit of 'Terminal' tinkering but am no expert.
ThanksHey Wellington Boots, I think I may have find an answer for you... and myself ; )
Is it possible that you brought back your music from a backup or time machine?
If so, make sure you have the proper rights on that specific folder... To check that do the following:
Go into the finder in the iTunes folder: /Users/youruser/Music/iTunes
Then right click on the iTunes folder and choose Get Info in the menu
Unlock the properties by clicking on the lock icon in the lower right of the window
Then in the bottom matrix make sure your username is in the list with Read & Write
If it's not present (or you can't add it for some reason) click on the staff Name and change it's Privilege to Read & Write
Now one more step, click on the settings wheel at the bottom middle of the window and select Apply to enclosed items
This step may take a few seconds or minutes if you have a lot of music.
Once this is done you should be able to easily add music in itunes.

Why can't I import two particular MP3 files into iTunes?
I went into the Importing menu of my iTunes preferences and verified that it is using the MP3 encoder. But when I drag and drop the mp3 file from my desktop to iTunes it will NOT import it! Ugh! Any suggestions?
What is the difference between adding a music file and importing one?
The KB article "iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions" explains it pretty well.
It plays fine in QuickTime. When I do a "get info" it shows MP3 Audio File as the "Kind".
Format: MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 11.025 kHz
Data Rate: 128.27 kbits/sec
At first glance those look normal values for an mp3 file. The sample rate of 11.025 kHz is unusually low for music though (a common value is 44.100).
iTunes is capable of converting a file into mp3 with sample rates between 8.000 and 48.000 kHz, so it should? recognize the file as valid and add it to the library.
Although 'MP3' is a standard, there are many ways to create one. It seems that sometimes it results in files that iTunes doesn't like, especially VBR MP3's. I personally have not encountered such "trouble mp3's" yet.
If you still can't add your mp3 to iTunes, try to export it in QuickTime (use Sound to AIFF) and then add it to iTunes.
Alternatively convert it using Max. It's not an easy to use application at first look, but once you are familiar with it, you'll probably appreciate it as a powerful app. for importing CDs and converting files.

Unable to add mp3 files to iTunes 10.3.1.55 (Windows 7)
Issue: iTunes and Windows explorer crash (freeze, locks up, stops working) when I add mp3's to iTunes. I am using the drag and drop method but have also tried the File>Add File... option. Same result.
After this occurs, I have to open the Task Manager, stop iTunes and explorer.exe and restart the applications. iTunes becomes completley frozen and Windows explorer becomes handicapped.
This issue relates specifically to *.mp3 files. Am able to add other media types without any problem (i.e. *.wav files, video, etc.).
Confirmed file extension is *.mp3 (not mpeg)
Removed an existing, stable file from iTunes library and tried to import it again - same issue. Does not appear to be file corruption problem.
Have confirmed file ownership and modification permissions are set to full control, etc. in Windows
Removed and re-installed fresh version of iTunes. No change.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.Actually it's a good question ... I have not done it before manually. If the folder exists does it mean that I have done it before?
The folder is completely empty. I reconfirmed that I have full-control persmissions on all folders below my username ...

Can't see mp3 files in iTunes Music folder.
The artist and album folders are there under the main iTunes Music folder. They contain the album name and album images, but not the actual mp3 music files.
iTunes plays all the music fine. I just can't find the mp3 files in their folders in iTunes Music Folder.hexonxonx,
Thanks for responding to my question. I'm trying to troubleshoot an audiobook that won't download from the iTunes store. It's part one of a two part audiobook. The second part downloaded properly, along with three other audiobooks.
iTunes support has given me two sets of instructions, neither which I can carry out.
The first set is to empty the Downloads folder and then empty the trash, and the second set to to empty the cache folder. Unfortunately, I can't find either folder. I also cannot find a folder labeled with the name of the audiobook that is hung up. If you have any further advice, I'd appreciate it.
