Can I burn only PART of a song to disc?

Hello,
So I want to burn only the first minute of a lot of songs ... about 30 songs ... onto one disc.
Is there any way to do this? (To just burn a partial song without altering the file with some kind of editing?)
I'm doing this as a sampler disc for someone. I dont want to affect the original files.
Gary

You can set the stop times of all songs you want to burn to 1 minute (select track, Get Info, Options tab).
Only the first minute will be burned on Audio CD.
This will not alter the file.
If you are looking for a script to set all selected tracks, read this topic.
Instead of 30, use 60 in the line "set finish of this_track to 30"
Hope this helps.

  • Can I burn only part of a song

    Is it possible to burn only part of a song and put only the edited portion onto a CD? Please let me know - thank you!

    Go to Get Info for the song and then select the Option tab. There you can specify a different start and/or stop time. Once that's done, when you burn the song to a CD it will be "trimmed" according to your settings.
    In addition to this working for CD burning, it also works for making a digital copy of the song without burning to CD. Once you set the start/stop time, select "Convert Selection to (whatever your current import format is set to)".

  • Can I transpose only part of a song?

    I need to lower the key of a song that's part of a medley. The first two parts are fine, so I don't need to lower the whole thing. Is there a way that I can just lower part of the song?

    You have to think of three different levels where you apply transposition
    1) MIDI Event
    You can just transpose individual MIDI Events bu dragging them up or down
    2) Region
    Select one or multiple Regions and use the Transpose Slider in the Inspector of the Audio or MIDI Editor. The Region Header in the Workspace (Tracks Area) will indicate  the transpose number with a number (see the screenshot)
    3) All Tracks
    Apply Transposition to all Tracks with the Transposition Track by setting up the Transposition Curve, the section along the timeline that is transposed.
    One important thing to keep in mind is that specific Regions (imported Audio FIles or Audio Files with Flex disabled) ignore the Transpose command and can't be transposed that way.
    You can find more on all those transpose topics with a detailed explanation of the Flex Mode in my book "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    In this screenshot, I transposed the Audio Region (+2) and the MIDI Region (+4). In addition I setup the Tranposition curve to transpose the Verse by +5 semitones and then go down -2 (not that this would make any sense musically).
    Hope that helps

  • How can I play only part of a song (stop the song short) during a slideshow in iphoto and fade into the next song?

    I am making a slideshow and I only want to play half of one song and fade into the next. How can I do this?

    You need an slideshow app that gives you more control over the Soundtrack.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price:  PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express  $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.  However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • HT201272 Only part of a song downloaded from itunes store

    Only part of a song (the first 12 seconds) downloaded and I nothing in my download list.  How can i download the entire song?

    Hey AMumey,
    That definitely sounds frustrating. I agree that this song may have not downloaded completely. See the following article:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT1725 What do I do if only part of a song I purchased actually downloaded successfully and itunes is saying it downloaded successfully?

    What do I do if only part of a song I purchased actually downloaded successfully and itunes is saying it downloaded successfully?
    The song is supposed to last for 2mins 46sec but it cuts out less than a min in to the song.
    There is no notification that the download was unsuccessful or incomplete and the 'search for available downloads' option comes back that all songs are downloaded.
    What can I do without having to purchase the song again?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? If it's still in your iTunes library then iTunes will assume that it doesn't need re-downloading. Re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Using only part of a song in iMovie?

    I've been using iMovie for a while and it's great but one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is an easy way to use just a portion of a song.
    I want to use about six or seven different songs in my iMovie project, but only use certain parts of those songs (a 20 second portion in the middle of the song for example). I don't see any way to "trim" audio like you can with video or to specify to iMovie "only play from 1:20 to 1:50 in this audio track".
    What I have been doing is cutting the portion of the song in QuickTime Player 7 and exporting as a new MP3, but there's gotta be an easier way than that I hope?

    Good Tutorial for how Audio works for iMovie 08 is [here.|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips]
    The same principle applies for iMovie 11.

  • Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone.  The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

    I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone.  Everything downloaded fine.  At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone.  I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there.  The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing.  I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem.  Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

    Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

  • Can you burn just part of a podcast?

    I subscribe to a podcast that is 3 hours long. It varies in quality of music. Is there any way to record only part of a podcast? Thanks!!

    Start by finding out exactly when the "good stuff" starts (look up top for the time display) right click on the song and click Get Info in the shortcut menu. When the Info window appears, click on the Options tab. You'll see a filed for Start Time. Check the Start Time checkbox, enter the time and the stop time.

  • Can you combine ('glue') parts of one song together

    There are many artist who cut their songs in more parts. Those parts are separate files, so when you play shuffle mode, you first hear one part of that specific song, than other songs, then another part of the song, then other songs, then again a part of that 'cut' song etc, etc.
    Disadvantage is that those parts end suddenly (only if played without shuffle) and you 'miss' the next part.
    Is there a way in iTunes to 'glue' those parts of that song together?

    Put the CD in, when it shows on itunes highlight the tracks you want joint by holding the "Ctrl" key and click ing the songs you want. If you want the whole album joint, just goto edit>select all. Now goto advanced>Join CD Tracks and then hit the "Import" button in the top right corner
