Burning LP's into Itunes

I bought an ION USB turntable to download all of my albums into itunes, but there are a couple of problems I have encountered. I checked with ION online, and the problems seem to be Leopard related. I get a LOT of static noise, and a ton of background noise, like a microphone is recording. Can anyone give me any tips at all on what the **** to do with this? Apple alledgedly holds the key to this problem, but I haven't seen a true fix yet.

If you're using Audacity as I believe is included with the Ion, look here for their tips:

  • Burning DVD's into itunes?

    Can you burn DVD's into iTunes and if so how do I go about doing this?
    Thanks

    I'm assuming you mean "rip" (which generally refers to taking content off of a CD/DVD and putting it on a hard drive) not "burn" (generally taken to mean putting info from a hard drive onto a CD/DVD). If you are asking about commercial DVDs, sadly, we can't help you. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In the U.S. breaking that encryption is illegal and we are prohibited by the terms of use of these forums from discussing software or methods. Sorry.

  • How do i burn a dvd into my itunes so i can load it onto my ipad?

    I would like to burn a DVD onto my itunes account so I can then put in on my phone and Ipad.  Is this possible with a regular DVD?

    You don't burn a DVD into iTunes like how one does with a CD. You need to use other software, however it sounds as if you are referring to a commercial DVD. These have copy protection and in order to rip you need to breach this and that process is illegal. Furthermore we can't discuss as it is against the terms of this forum.

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • How to import WMA files into iTunes to burn to CD?

    My coworker gave me a voice recorder that records in WMA files. I cannot simply drag the audio file into iTunes like I have from other recorders. I need to get the audio into iTunes so I can burn to CD. Any ideas?

    Problems -
    EasyWMA is not free.
    Switch looks fine, but after installing the wma plugin as prompted, and feeding it the first batch of .wma files, it crashed.
    I'm now 'borrowing' an EasyWMA.
    Pros : simple to use. you can have it process your entire music folder at once. adds songs to itunes right away.
    Cons : limited functionality! E.g. there's no option for VBR (variable bit rate), so I set it to 256 fixed. E.g. when having it run through my entire music folder, there was no option to restrict it to wma files - it also worked my flac's, for which I'd already found a better solution (fluke).
    Sigh Hate to complain, but hey, this stuff would be easier on Windows

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    I've noticed that CDs loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.

  • Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

    Hi,
    Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
    When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
    BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
    What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

    First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
    Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

  • After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player?  I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

    Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them.  When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in.  Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing.  So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it.  Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • Burning CD into itunes

    Copying 'Thriller' CD into itunes, it wont download tracks 3 and 10-14, how can that be?

    *Since these are talks I never want them to shuffle*
    Highlight all the tracks from your CD, right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a box asking if you want to change information on multiple items, say yes. Go to the Options tab and check the box "skip when shuffling"
    *Is there any way when importing the CD I can tell iTunes to always link the sections together in order?*
    You could use "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing. However It gives one continuous file and means that you can't dip into sections of the CD as before: Adding Songs from CDs to your Library

  • Error message 4000 when trying to burn a cd in itunes

    I am having problems burning a cd in itunes. I am getting the error message the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred  (4000). Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem.  Please note that I have looked up other ways to solve problem and have tried them and none of them seem to work.  Such as in program files I clicked on repair and not uninstall to see if there was any possible corrupt itunes files to be fixed.  I changed the burn speed and that did not work. The only thing I did not do was a total uninstall of itunes. I need to know should I do that and if so what site will I need to go on to re-install itunes  and will I have to pay for it? My computer which is Windows XP already had itunes on it when I bought it so I do not want to pay for itunes. So can someone please give me some guidance regarding this matter. And please note that I was able to burn cd's in itunes before and then it just stopped working. And I have tested my computer with the windows media player and I was able to burn music from my music library so I know my problem is with itunes.
    Thanks!

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

  • Help with exporting tracks from Garageband into iTunes please?!

    I have voice-recorded a list of Italian words and phrases which I want to import into iTunes as separate tracks so that I can shuffle them & test myself to learn them. So far I have been using the cycle region to import each word but it is taking forever! I beieve it is not possible to have multpile cycle regions and have been playing about with the markers using the podcast track but I can't get it to export in chapters either.
    Is there a way to split a single track in Garageband and import it as mulitple tracks into iTunes all at the same time?
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    vanessa2011 wrote:
    the chapters only work when you actually burn to CD. I assume that's correct?
    for your purposes, yes (technically it would create podcast style chapters so you could jump past a section, for instance, but not in a shuffle fashion like you want)
    vanessa2011 wrote:
    I'm guessing that will take an awful lot of CDs?!
    you could use a re-writtable, but no, this doesn't sound like a really workable solution for what you're doing.
    vanessa2011 wrote:
    Just two of the chapters has already become 220 'songs' in iTunes and over 20MB.
    one thing you should be doing is selecting the "compress" option in the export dialogue. you can probably use very aggressive compression for spoken word since hi-fidelity wouldn't be that important (you might experiment with a custom setting to see how low you can go with it still being acceptable)

    I wonder how much would fit onto a CD
    in terms of audio, it's time, not disc space. a standard CD holds 74 minutes of audio (some store 80)
    you could try an audio editor instead of GB:

  • I have a large music collection in My Music which is where my Itunes music is.  I use Itunes match now and possibly it is what is causing my problems but can't be sure.  I keep getting a new My Music folder when I go into itunes so I have 2. what can I do

    Hi.  I have a very large my music folder on my C drive.  This is were all of my music is including itunes.  However, when I go into itunes, it sets up a new my music folder. If I erase the new folder, it comes back the next time I go into itunes.  It is just a very small folder vs. the large 132 GB file named My Music.  What is this new one and why does it keep getting generated vs. Itunes just using the large My Music folder that has all my music.  The small My Music it creates is 134 MB.  Does this have something to do with using Icloud and Itunes Match?  I find it confusing to have two my music folders. 

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • How can I transfer a WMA audio file with DRM into iTunes?

    Is it possible to transfer a DRM, WMA audio lecture file that I download onto my Dell Inspirion laptop into iTunes? I can purchase and download the file using Windows Media. My goal is to get the audio file onto an iPod Nano. The organization that sells these lectures does not support Macintosh at this time and is only supporting Windows based machines.
    The Dell laptop uses Windows XP as its operating system.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Use ITunes on Dell Inspirio w/Windows XP

    If I understand you correctly, first I burn the file onto a CD using Windows Media Player, then I can import it (rip the file?) into iTunes. After this I could download the file to my Nano.
    I want to make sure I know what you meant by "rip the file" into iTunes.
    Thank you for your help,

  • WMA formats, How do I import into iTunes?

    Hi There, This is my first time here...
    I purchased a new CD and wanted to add it to my library, but I couldn't. So I asked their "tech support".
    I have cut and pasted their response.
    My questions: How do I copy the songs to iTunes?
    and in the last para of the response, they make it sound like Apple is the hold up for making this process easier, is that true? is there an easy fix for this?
    THE EMAIL BEGINS HERE......Thanks
    Hello Tangela,
    Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your purchase of the Anthony Hamilton CD and will be happy to assist you with the music transfer.
    Please follow the instructions below in order to move your content into iTunes and onto an iPod:
    If you have a Mac computer you can copy the songs using your iTunes Player as you would normally do.
    If you have a PC place the CD into your computer and allow the CD to automatically start. If the CD does not automatically start, open your Windows Explorer, locate the drive letter for your CD drive and double-click on the LaunchCD.exe file located on your CD.
    Once the application has been launched and the End User License Agreement has been accepted, you can click the Copy Songs button on the top menu.
    Follow the instructions to copy the secure Windows Media Files (WMA) to your PC. Make a note of where you are copying the songs to, you will need to get to these secure Windows Media Files in the next steps.
    Once the WMA files are on your PC you can open and listen to the songs with Windows Media Player 9.0 or higher. You may also play them in any compatible player that can play secure Windows Media files, such as MusicMatch, RealPlayer, and Winamp, but it will require that you obtain a license to do so. To obtain this license, from the Welcome Screen of the user interface, click on the link below the album art that says If your music does not play in your preferred player, click here. Follow the instructions to download the alternate license. PLEASE NOTE: This license is only necessary for playing the copied songs in a media player other than iTunes or Windows Media Player. If you are just trying to use iTunes, simply continue with these instructions.
    Using Windows Media Player only, you can then burn the songs to a CD. Please note that in order to burn the files, you need to upgrade to or already have Windows Media Player 9 or greater.
    Once the CD has been burned, place the copied CD back into your computer and open iTunes. iTunes can now rip the songs as you would a normal CD.
    Please note an easier and more acceptable solution requires cooperation from Apple, who we have already reached out to in hopes of addressing this issue. To help speed this effort, we ask that you use the following link to contact Apple and ask them to provide a solution that would easily allow you to move content from protected CDs into iTunes or onto your iPod rather than having to go through the additional steps above. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    Please let us know if we can assist you further.

    How do I import the songs into iTunes so that I can play them on my iPod?
    iPod HP laptop   Windows XP  
    iPod HP laptop   Windows XP  

    To answer your Question in short, yes apple is the hold up. A more detailed answer follows.
    THe steps they tell you to do are basic steps for removing protection or "DRM" usually. Most record companys today go all out to protect there copyright songs by putting DRM "Digital Rights Management" or protection on them. Almost all the world (Last I looked it was roughly 95%) of the world uses a PC with Microsoft on it. Since Microsoft installs windows media player on all windows, the record companys have found it most easy to have there songs copied with the program in the "Protected WMA" file format.
    Apple and Microsoft are from 2 different worlds and have went against eachother pretty much the whole 20 something years modern computers have been around. Since Microsoft made and owns the WMA format, any company that makes products that will play this format have to pay what they call a "Royalty fee".. Apple isn't about to pay micorsoft for anything like that, as they themselfs are pushing there own royalty fee based format of AAC. Apple does offer in iTUnes to convert UNprotected WMAs.
    The steps they gave you to do (as they didn't mention to you cuz they don't want you to know) is steps for actually "Taking off" or "Removing" the protection off the song. the industry has yet to figure out how to keep protection on digital songs when its being burned to a CD. So when its burned to the CD and the protection is off, now iTUnes has full access to the music
