After import to iTunes 11.1, audio file plays -6db quieter - sound check off

when importing any .aiff into my MBP running 10.8.5,  any sound file plays correctly when played via Quicktime Pro or using the 10.8 (spacebar) preview function.
When imported into the new iTunes 11.1 application, sounds play (I would roughly estimate) -6db quieter than when not played via this app.
Sound Check / Sound Enhancer functions are NOT on....
Anybody else experience this glitch / know the reason why ?

I'm having the same exact experience.  It worked fine up until the 11.1 update, and then it just ceased to work.
I used to get a pop up window saying initializing or something of that sort, then if the video wasn't the right encoding, it would stop.  If it was the right encoding, the video would then move to the top center of ribbon with a progress bar for the import.  I've tried drag and drop, and also going to File -> Add File to Library.  Neither methods work.  I've even tried adding an entire folder to the library, and still nothing.
Is this an intentional act on behalf of Apple or a bug?

  • Why don't some audio files play back in enhanced iBook?

    I recently bought an enhanced iBook in iTunes for my iPad and most of the audio files play.  A few do not when I click on them. The player goes blank (disappears) and nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution?

    In iTunes, select all the songs/files you want to stay where they are.
    Right click - get info.
    Tick *Remember position* and set it Yes.
    You can do individual songs or a bunch at once.

  • Random audio file playing

    Hi!  I've been having random audio files playing on my RAZR.  It sounds like a video that automatically starts playing on websites.  However, I'm not on the browser, have windows open, or even using the phone.  I unlock the phone and there's nothing in the notification bar.  No apps are open on the home screen. 
    My Alarm Clock Plus app will sometimes play an alarm after I've turned it off.  Because there's nothing in the notification bar to stop the music, I have to shut down my phone to stop it.  This may be an app bug but has anyone had random audio files playing?

        Hi Es80
    It sounds like that phone is possessed! Let's get this fixed! It sounds like it may be an application error. Please power the device on in safe mode and retest. Here's how:http://bit.ly/QfA8MZ

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,
    David

  • Script that moves items to trash after importing to iTunes

    Hi,
    I have zero experience in this, all I have done is just from having googled stuff, so please be patient if I'm asking stupid questions. I have tried searching the forum first but I can't find the answer to this question.
    I download music from various (LEGAL) websites and I don't want to have to manually move it into iTunes. My aim is that every time an .mp3 file is downloaded into my downloads folder, it is automatically moved into my iTunes music library and added to a 'downloaded' playlist, then deleted from my downloads folder.
    This has taken me ages because after I got it working I did an iTunes update which ruined it all. I tried to edit the offending actions but ended up just downgrading iTunes to the previous version via Time Machine.
    I am using OS X version 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.1
    The point I am at now is that it is all working, except that the files are not moved to the trash at the end, so every time it runs it adds the new file plus all the previous files again. Please can someone help me modify my script or my automator application so that this will happen.
    Also, is it possible to have the automator application only run when music files are downloaded? Because at the moment it runs every time I download anything at all.
    Here is what I have done:
    I have set up a folder action so that this script is attached to my downloads folder:
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
              tell me
                        do shell script "open -a /Users/Louisa/Documents/Workflows/justdownloadstoplaylist.app"
              end tell
    end adding folder items to
    Then I have saved this Automator workflow as the application justdownloadstoplaylist.app
    *Get specified Finder items*
    Louisa>Downloads
    *Get Folder Contents*
    (Repeat for each subfolder found)
    *Import Files into Itunes*
    (Existing playlist - "downloaded")
    *Move Finder items to Trash*
    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry, there was an error with my workflow in that saving to the variable should have come after filtering the items:
    Folder Action receives files and folders added to Downloads
    Get Folder Contents { Repeat for each subfolder found } -- in case a folder was added
    Filter Finder Items { File extension is mp3 } -- just get mp3 files
    Set Value of Variable { Variable: Original Items } -- save the filtered mp3 files for later
    Import Files into iTunes { Existing playlist Downloaded }
    Get Value of Variable { Variable: Original Items } (Ignore Input) -- get back the mp3 files
    Move Finder Items to Trash
    If you are using your application in a situation where it is already getting items passed to it (e.g. dropping items onto the application, or using a Service or Folder Action), adding an action at the beginning that gets the same items will result in doubling up the items in your input list.  If you are getting confused about what is getting passed to your application, you can use a Choose from List action at the beginning of your workflow to show the items.
    If you just saved your workflow as an application, dropping items onto it will pass them to your workflow, otherwise you will need to add statements to your folder action script to tell the workflow to open items passed to the folder action.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, you won't need to use your folder action script or do anything else to get items passed to your workflow if it is created using the Folder Action template. 

  • Audio file plays in my  itunes but restarts my ipod

    I downloaded some audio files that play perfectly in my itunes but when I click on the middle button of my ipod to choose song to play, it restarts my ipod. All other files I have play in both my itunes and ipod perfectly. Thanks for help!

    You don't have to check Manually manage music and videos, but if you want to add songs and video to the iPhone by dragging them to the iPhone in iTunes, that checkbox needs to be checked.  Otherwise, you can use the Music tab (next to the Summary tab) to set up automatic syncing, based on playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres, which for me is the more convenient way to load an iPod or iPhone.  I usually do it using playlists (that have only the songs I want on my Pod).
    I don't know what's going on with that one Amazon download.  I've downloaded songs from Amazon before, and have not encountered any problems.  I haven't done so recently, so maybe I'll find something free (they have a lot of free downloads compared to the iTunes Store) and give it a try, to see if I have the same problem.
    As a workaround, you can try converting the song file.  First, open iTunes preferences and click on the General tab.  Then, click Import Settings.  Make sure it is set to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus (which should be the default settings).  This setting will encode (if you "rip" any music CDs), or convert song files, to the format used by iTunes Store downloads, which is 256 kbps ACC.
    Select the Amazon download with the problem your iTunes music library listing.  Go up to the menu bar.  Under Advanced, select Create AAC Version.  (You can also select that command by right-clicking on song.)
    This will convert the song file to AAC format.  The original MP3 file will still be there, but you will also have an AAC version.  You should be able to sync an AAC song file created by iTunes to your iPhone.
    NOTE:  When you do this, you are converting one compressed audio format to another compressed audio format, so there may be a small loss in sound quality.  The difference is probably not noticeable when listening on an iPod or iPhone using "earbuds."  When listening to the song on the computer, you should use the original song file.

    I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues.

  • ITunes not updating audio files on iPhone 4s

    On Mac 10.7.2, iTunes 10.5.1, and iOS 5.0.1. I have made changes to the genre of a few of my audio files but they are not updating on iTunes. iTunes appears to go through the entire process of syncing but no changes are made. I'm assuming I'm not the only one this has happened to so are there any known solutions?
    Thanks!

  • How to import from ITunes in normal AAC file? (not protected)

    How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file? (ideally in 320kbps) but most important, not a protected file!
    Alternatively, how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
    Tks for you help.

    Hi,
    How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file?
    Go to iTunes Preferences, and choose- Advanced/Importing and under "Import Using" choose AAC, under "Setting" choose 320kbps. Copy protection is only added to songs downloaded from the iTunes Store, and not songs you import from cd's.
    how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
    The only legitimate way is to burn the songs to a cd, and then re- import them using the settings discussed above.

  • Itunes store downloads audio files in QuickTime format & no convert options

    My wife's XP computer received audio files from ITunes store in Quick Time format. Can find no help in so-called "Help" files, right-click on downloaded song offer only "Convert to AAC". I've used Real Player to convert QT files to MP3 but this seems overly complicated. Any ideas?

    Thesbrian wrote:
    Looks like I just had to change my preferences 3 or 4 times, and it finally shows the option to convert to MP3. I'll see how successful it is in converting while downloading. Thanks for the suggestions.
    Also please note that if you are looking for MP3 files, it is easier to buy directly in MP3 format from an online music retailer who sells in MP3 format, such as the amazon.com MP3 download store.
    MP3 format is compatible with iTunes/iPod and virtually every other player, program, and device.

  • Manage iTunes library - move audio files

    Hi,
    the audio files of my itunes library are stored on two drives. The internal driver and one external music-drive. Since my internal drive is becoming full, I'd like to move some of my files from the internal disk to the external drive. Is there a smart process or tool which supports keeping the link of the moved files?

    This is a crude proof of concept that works as a Windows vbs script:
    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set iTunesApp = CreateObject("iTunes.Application.1")
    Set Tracks = iTunesApp.SelectedTracks
    For I = 1 to Tracks.Count
    Set Track = Tracks.Item(I)
    If Track.Kind = 1 Then
    Name = Track.Name
    Artist = Track.Artist
    Album = Track.Album
    TrackPath = Track.Location
    Ext=Right(TrackPath,4)
    NewPath=Left(TrackPath,Len(TrackPath)-4)
    NewPath = InputBox("Edit path/filename for:" & nl & nl & _
    "Artist : " & Artist & nl & _
    "Album : " & Album & nl & _
    "Track : " & Name,"Move Track",NewPath) & Ext
    Set F = FSO.GetFile(TrackPath)
    F.Move(NewPath)
    Track.Location = NewPath
    End If
    Next
    There's no error checking, it processes the currently selected tracks and it needs a new location for each file in turn. It could easliy be changed to work with, for example, the current playlist, and programmed to search for a segment of the path to be replaced with a new value. The basic principle is that you read a track's existing location, create a new one either by text input or by manipulating the value of the current path, move the file to the new location, then update iTunes so that it looks in the correct place. As the track object is never removed from the library all playlist references and other volatile metadata such as playcounts should remain intact.

  • After song downoads, itunes freezes when preocessing file

    I upgraded to itunes 8, but I have gotten a lot of errors. The main problem is that after the song downloads it says processing file but nothing ever happens past that point. I have noticed that this only happens on the songs with the "plus" sign on them. Does anyone know how I can get it to stop freezing?

    Other folks have posted that a Verizon VCAST software was blocking itunes. It is a process called memonitor.exe in your task manager.

  • URGENT Strange problem with no audio files playing back in arrange

    Anyone ever have something in Logic Pro X (newest .1 update, auto updated on me but seems fine otherwise) where playback of audio just stops? Like, meters still move for automation, audio files still remain in place, but nothing is even metering? Another alternative of this project (which i dont' want to use) works, and this just sorta stopped playing back. nothing i can think that triggered it. I can start up a new instrument and it plays back and records just fine. All of my existing audio just won't play at all.
    I tried changing my interface and back in preferences, I've restarted both program and machine, but just this one alternative of this project (the current and most important of course) just won't play back audio. It even plays back in the wave editor window, just not in the sequence.

  • How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

    I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
    The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
    The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
    I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
    I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
    I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
    I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
    Thoughts? Suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Michael

    Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
    This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play.  But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
    Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same.  The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't.  Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio.  The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

    You need iTunes on the computer. With the iPod connected to the copmputer yo have to go to the iTunes U pane (it is one of the panes like Music, Podcast, Apps, Summary, Info that shows what is/can be on the iPod). At the top of the pane is a check box y have to check to sync iTunes U media.
