Brasero Cannot burn cd using mp3 files [SOLVED]

Everytime i try to burn an audio CD from mp3 files brasero gives me an error saying "Not suitable for audio or video media." I have all of the gstreamer plugins installed so thats not the problem. Ive seen a few posts on forums for other distros about the same problem but no real fixes. Most people just suggest using something else. I want to use brasero. I like the way it integrates with banshee. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Edit: Solved via Post #10 in this thread

Everytime i try to burn an audio CD from mp3
You'll have to turn .mp3 into .wav to make an audio CD. Or did you mean a data CD with .mp3 files on it? Google how to make an audio CD.
lame --decode file.mp3 output.wav
Are there any other burning programs that can do this?
You bet. Here are the basics. Add whatever options you wish.
Make .iso of files to burn to CD
mkisofs -R -J /path/to/files -o /path/to/output.iso
Disk with multiple folders on it.
genisoimage -J -r -pad -graft-points dir1/=/path/files dir2/=/path/files dir3/=/path/files > filename.iso
Burn .iso to disk
growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/path/name.iso
wodim speed=8 -tao dev=/dev/sr0 /path/file.iso
Burn DVD from files example
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=tty -Z /dev/sr0 -J -r -speed=8 -dvd-compat -pad -graft-points /path/file.avi /path/file.avi
Write Audio CD from a folder of .wav files
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=8 -audio -pad *.wav

Do you have to pay royalty fees to use mp3 files in a Flash game?

I'm looking at developing a Flash game but I am aware there are licensing fees involved with using mp3 files, and we seem to only be able to use mp3 files through Actionscript and Flashpunk. So my question is, will we have to pay any royalty fees, or does Adobe have that covered?

Regarding i-tunes match, a lot of music in my library is burned CDs (mostly imports) some "well most" are not available on i-Tunes U.S. So, if I use this service, I am thinking the majority of my library will not be available to sync on all my devices. Is this a proper assumption.
No. The idea of iTunes Match is that everything in your library is available to sync.
If it does match, the song in iTunes store is used.
If it does not match, the song on your computer is used and that is uploaded to the cloud to sync to yoru devices.

How to use mp3 files on a form standard button, instead of wav-files. Need to save space.

I would like to use mp3 files instead of Wav-files on the standard button, in the forms edit menu. I know it is possible in the interactive menu to add buttons with mp3 sound. But those buttons has not the same options and appearance as the forms buttons. We create learning books with lots of sound files in each PDF, so with wav-files the PDF gets quite heavy in Gb.

Smokerz – Thanks for the feedback. I managed to get iTunes to find the movie files on my TC by simply dragging the icons of the files on the TC into the Movies folder in iTunes. This immediately made them available for streaming on my Apple TV. Also, I learned with great relief that, despite their large size, dragging icons of my movie files into iTunes did not copy them to the C: drive on my desktop computer. Thus, it looks as if the job is pretty much done. Thanks again for your advice.

I cannot copy or transfer mp3 files stored on external drive back into itunes so i can listen to book again

Hi,
I mostly use itunes for listening to audiobooks which I have been collecting for years. Have hundreds of them. A few years ago when computer too full and my itunes library too big I carefully copied the books onto an external hard drive as mp3 files and then removed them from itunes. (At that stage I really wanted a non itunes library backup as I had already lost library a couple of times....now I understand the itunes back up a bit more and can use it.)
However I have lots of my favourite books on an external drive and I want to listen to them again. I cannot go to the folder holding a book, select all the the mp3 files that make up the book and drag them into my itunes music file as I can with a mp3 disc. There are 73 files on the first book i want to move!
Itunes has been selected as the default player and will play the files but I cannot transfer them.
Under details on a file it reads NOT PROTECTED
I am the administrator of my computer, indeed am its only user.
Cannot think of anything else that might be useful.
hope you can help
Elizabeth

luckily that is also backed up on the external drive too so I'll try looking there, but do you have any thoughts on why I can't get the backed up files to stay on the PC correctly ? because until they are back on my PC I can't use it or get the rankings back right?

Can I burn .m4a and .mp3 file on the same CD?

I downloaded a few podcasts and have one in .m4a format, the other in .mp3.
Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes -- or do I need to convert?
And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
Thanks.

Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes
Yes.
And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
If you want an audio CD, just put all files into a playlist and click *Burn CD* then select Audio CD. iTunes will convert them to CD audio.
Selecting Data CD/DVD in iTunes will burn the files as they are. They can be MP3, AAC, AIFF or whatever and will be burned in that format (useful for backing up files)
If you select MP3 CD (this is the format of the files on the CD), the files must already be in MP3 format.
This is the same as a Data CD/DVD except iTunes will use only MP3 files (because many players can play MP3 files).

How to use MP3 file as a clip, not background music

I have a radio spot as an MP3 file, but when I drag it into the project it automatically thinks I want it as my background music. I actually want it as a clip to play after a commercial. I have tried saving it out of QT as a movie file but it won't let me import that file in a regular import, it's grayed out. Any help would be appreciated!
Melissa

You have to have video clip of some sort in the spot where you wan the sound clip to play. It cannot just be dropped on the timeline. So what you might have to do is put a title down with a black background, drop the MP3 right on top of that title clip (dead center). Then it will attach as a repositionable sound clip.
You will also want to convert the MP3 to an AIFF in order to keep iMovie from working too hard to playback the song when you do the final export of your video project. This is a direct copy of the iTunes Help page for AIFF conversions:
Save a copy of a song in a new file format
You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).
When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn’t notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, import the music again from the original source using the newencoding format.
Important: You can’t convert iTunes Store purchases unless they’re iTunes Plus songs.
Hide
To convert a song’s file format:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library and choose Advanced > Create Format Version.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.

Transfer and using mp3 files

Hello,
I'm a new user from apple products.
I don't know how I can transfer mp3 files to my iphone. Do you know?
can I use bluetooth? can I use wifi?
I have some mp3 files in my computer but I can't transfer to my iphone.
I need to use itunes? how?
Thanks and merry chrismas

Welcome to the forums.
You need to transfer your music using iTunes -- you plug your phone in and choose "sync" and it will transfer whatever music you tell it to. The best way is to create one or more playlists and choose these to transfer to the phone.
The phone itself can use bluetooth headsets, but you cannot transfer information this way. The phone itself will connect to the web via wi-fi but, once again, does not transfer this way.
Install the latest iTunes (7.5 or greater), attach your phone via the USB adapter provided (with or without the dock) and then sync it. Note: you will also need to first initialize it (nothing in the phone will work without first establishing phone service to whatever carrier you are using).

Can I use mp3 files from different domain as the feed?

Hi..
I have just created a new podcast here:
http://artistsofliving.com/?feed=podcast
I would like to submit the podcast to iTunes sometime soon...
However, I'm wondering if they will reject it because the feed lives on 'artistsofliving.com', whereas I keep the media mp3 files on 'livinginthepresent.com'... a different domain.
I own the mp3 content and both domains- I'm splitting the media from the website for bandwidth reasons.
Is this ok? If this causes a rejection straight out is there a way to indicate that I own the material fairly?
Thanks!
-rich

There's no problem about using media files from any source: the feed just has to reference them (the URLs have to be 'absolute' - i.e. including the http:// and the server name - even if the file is on the same server as the feed anyway). I don't see the fact that some files have different URLs leading to accusations of copyright breach.

Use MP3 file as personalized ringtone

I would like to assigne a specific MP3 file as a ringtone for a specific caller. Within Contacts, I can assign a specific ringtone to that contact, however, it only seems to be looking at a fixed (hidden) folder with some canned ACC/MIDI ringtones therein. I can use the built-in recorder to create an AMR file - which lands in the that same (hidden?) folder - and then I can use that as a ringtone for that contact. However, I'm not able to select a specific MP3 file from my music store.
I know within the music player you can assign a particular song as the ringtone for the current profile. HOwever, that's not what I want to do. I want to assigne a specific MP3 as a ringtone for a specific contact. I have done this on other Nokia devices, but am stumped how it is to be affected on the N91. Any help out there?
Jim

If it's similar to the N70, it needs to be in the right folder, which shouldn't be hidden...
There's two folders on both the memory card, and Phone memory - MyMusic and Sounds - try putting the tracks you want as ringtones in there, then selecting them from Contacts...
If it doesn't work in the same way, sorry

I cannot burn anything using this program

I have read the instructions, I have read the Hot Tips, and I have even saved an image file and nothing. I have checked settings and preferences and wasted years of time trying to use this so called cool program. I am using an external burner and it is recognized by the program. What the heck is going on and why isn't this program working. The DVD is encoded as well. It even gets my hopes up and runs through the burning process and then burns the disc with nothing on it. Pointless! This is DVD 6.

I'll try the disk image again. I have created on before, but don't actually get to use it. I'll open the disk image file and it has, of course, two files in it. It doesn't prompt or I haven't seen info in iDVD to burn the image. I'll check the link you sent me.
After you have created your disk image, you can test it to see if it works properly. Open DVD Player (Applications folder). Then, click on your disk image to mount it on the desktop. Now, you should see your movie start to play using DVD Player. If it plays correctly, you should be able to burn it.
To burn a DVD from a disk image, open Disk Utility ( Applications->Utilities->DU). Drag your disk image into the left panel. Click on it to select it, then click on 'Burn' on the top left. Follow the instrucions re: inserting your blank DVD disk. You should get a burned DVD in a few minutes.
(These instructions should be one the links I posted...).
The disc will go through the burn and eject the disk with the message burning completed.
You actually get that message, the disk is ejected, but nothing is burned onto it? It won't play in the computer or on a DVD player?
Then when I try to shut the program down it won't. A message of "cleaning up" prompts in the program and never completes.
You mean that you cannot close your iDVD project? Even if you have problems at this point, your disk should have burned already.
Are you referring to your iDVD project as 'the program'?
When you try it again, start with creating a disk image. Be sure to 'delete encoded assets' before you have iDVD make the disk image.
Also after iMovie there is an option to send to iDVD so themes and what not can be added. I usually send the movie that way.
Sometimes that process causing double rendering. Try saving and quitting your iMovie. Open your iDVD project, or better, create a new one. Then, drag and drop your movie into it from within iDVD, via the 'media' pane.
Honestly, it should not be this difficult for you to get a 10min movie burned to disk

Cannot burn fonts or .txt files

All of our Mac's (4) have issues with burning DVD's that have unarchived fonts. The problem is simple, they can't. All fonts need to be zipped otherwise the disc will error as soon as it gets to one. Disc is toast then.
Solution, archive all fonts, and delete the loose fonts.
Not the best as we sometimes miss them, and I NOW I used to burn discs at my other job, with fonts.
Now, something more annoying has happened. I can no longer burn disc's with simple text files on them. Anything with a .txt extension will stop the burn an ruin the disc.
I use A LOT of text files on projects to keep tabs on where things came from. Now I need to delete them all before burning, makes it a waste to have them in the first place.
No updates have been done recently, but the no text burn just happened in the last few days.
any suggestions?

Would it help if I added junk content to my text files to increase file size, so it is not an empty text file?
That could well be the problem. It shouldn't be, but you never know. Whether there's any data in the file or not, every file still has a BOF (Beginning Of File) and EOF (End Of File) marker on the hard drive. Burn may be choking on a file size of zero bytes (which isn't really true since the resource fork data takes up a few bytes). Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to try putting in a short amount of text in the files to see if it fixes the problem. You could as a group decide on a phrase like, "Placeholder text". Then when anyone sees that, they know it's only purpose was to give the file some actual data to save.
I was thinking you may have bad sectors on the drives, but it would highly unlikely for all four Macs to have the same problem. Even more unlikely that it only affects fonts.
Zero bytes might also be causing the issue with fonts. If your server is Windows NTFS, any older Mac fonts you place there could be being destroyed. Type 1 PostScript fonts and Mac legacy TrueType fonts have all of their data stored in the resource fork. Since NTFS has no resource fork structure, your fonts end up being empty. So when you try and burn them, they have the same affect on Burn as a zero byte text file.
My Mac is:
OSX 10.4.11
2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
A pre Leopard release Mac Pro. If you do want to try an Archive and Install of the OS, you must use the disks that came with the Mac. Only the gray disks it shipped with will have an Intel build of Tiger to install. The retail Tiger disk is PowerPC only. Be sure to choose the option to preserve your settings and preferences.

Cannot burn DVD (using iDVD, and iMac G5 with Superdrive)

Hi. I'm trying to burn an iMovie onto a DVD-R (16x). I have an iMac G5 w/ Superdrive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04F). I have plenty of available disc space. iDVD goes through the entire burn process, then at the very end it spits out the disc with these errors:
The recording device reported the error #8: No additional sense information. (0x00, 0x00.)
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)
Can someone PLEASE help me? What am I doing wrong?
THANK YOU!

Could be the brand of media you are using. Most users here find the most reliable to be Verbatim DVD-R.
Also, try burning at a lower speed.
Using 16x DVD media is fine - in fact it is difficult to buy any other - but there is a consensus in the Apple Support Forums that a slower burn is a better burn and that the most reliable brands are Verbatim, Maxell and Fuji, all DVD-R, burned at 2x or 4x (slow burns are better burns!). I always use Toast for burning.
I generally use Verbatim and when I can't get those, Fuji, and have never had a coaster from either.
Plenty of coasters in the early days from Sony, TDK and a few others.
The term "Best" means the fastest speed that the drive told Toast it can write to a specific disc. The drive's firmware and info on the disc decide what speed burns are available. When you press the speed setting button in Toast (after inserting a disc) you'll likely see some speeds in italics and some in bold face. The ones in bold face are supported by that media on that drive. The fastest one is what Toast calls Best.
Audio CDs in particular should be burned at the lowest supported speed.
Verification is a good indicator the disc is burned okay. However, other DVD players can still have problems with the disc. Media problems with various drives is not uncommon. Slower burning may reduce the chance of those problems, and is one of the reasons why RW (read/write) media is always rated slower than DVD-R.
There are some interesting facts here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm and here:
http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa4.htm
But many will tell you that the 'slower burn is best' theory is outdated. Who really knows? At the end of the day, if your home-made DVD was verified by Toast and will play anywhere on anybody's DVD player, then that is the result we are all after!

Can I use mp3 files on my computer and put them on an I pod touch?

I am looking to buy an I pod touch, but I want to know if I can transfer my mp3's from my computer to the I pod. OR do I have to use I Tunes?

You can use your MP3's and you will have to use itunes to sync them.
You will need to put the music in itunes. From there you can sync it to the ipod.
