Can I copy spoken word cd to itunes

I want to copy spoken word CDs that I have onto iTunes so that I can put them on an iPod Touch. iTunes does not appear to recognise the one I tried. Any suggestions?
thanks
Gerry

Things to try:
A. Restart computer.
B. Does it do this with other CDs or just this one?
C. Will the CD play in Quicktime? Will it play in a normal CD player?
D. These are commercial CDs, not home-burned?
E. I seem to recall a SMC reset possibly clearning up a similar issue posted a week ago.

F. Try a drive cleaning disc to get rid of dist. Not had much success with those myself.
G. Could be a drive going bad, but nice to rule out other possibilities first. Have another computer available to use in testing?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

Dr. P,
Song files are just files. You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer. I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
Any advice/help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Copying spoken-word files: bug

Copying 2 CDs (aiff files) from hard drive to iPod, via iTunes interface. Created 2 folders on iPod. Selected, dragged, & dropped the Audio Tracks from the hard drive into each respective folder. Somehow in this, Audio Track 4 from CD2 wasn't copied. Instead, Audio Track 4 from CD1 was re-copied on the iPod.
I tried deleting #4 from CD2 on the iPod, but iTunes wouldn't actually delete the file. Apparently, in Apple's code, a 'pointer' to track #4 of CD1 continued to exist with the name: track #4 of CD2. When I tried dragging & dropping the actual #4 of CD2 from the hard drive, iTunes ignored it. I tried re-naming the track. This appeared to do it since a new track appeared on the iPod, but it wasn't the desired track, it was the same one I had deleted, track #4 from CD1. Quitting iTunes and restarting didn't help.
To overcome this bug I had to copy the file into an audio editing program and delete a tiny bit of the audio during a pause. This changed the file length. After saving that to my hard drive under an assumed name ('Don't use your right name; No, no!'--Fats Waller) A subsequent copy to the iPod worked. Now the copy of my spoken word CD is complete.
Anyone else seen this bug?

iTunes did it again with another group of files. How does one file a bug report to Apple, anyway? Not that my issue is going to rate very high on their list of priorities. Will they value anything that isn't significant to the majority of users? If so, they'll be joing the ranks of_very_few_major corporations, who only do anything if it's absolutely necessary.

HELP - I can't copy my photos after installing iTunes 7!!!!!!!

Have bought iPod video and installed included iTunes. All was going well till I,ve upgraded iTunes to v. 7. If try upload (sync photos with folder) I'm getting message: "some your photos were not copied because they cannot be displayed on your iPod". They are the same kind of photos made using the same camera wchich I've copied using earlier version of iTunes. I've reinstalled application, tried to change size of photos etc without results. Where's the solution? Anybody can help me? I'll feel gratefull!!!!

Ussualy this happens because the picture file is in the wrong format. If you have some sort of photoshop, open the files with that and re-save them as .jpg (.JPEG) files. This should work.
Hope I helped.

How can I copy music from PC to iTunes Library?

I am trying to copy some music files I copied from original CDs to a pendrive since I do not have a Mac DVD player. I tried by selecting files from Finder and doing drag-and-drop into iTunes Library, but it did not work. So, what can I do?
Thanks!

Let me get this straight. You took files ripped on a PC to a pen drive and tried dragging them to the iTunes library window? That should work, but some things will depend upon the format of the files. I would create an empty playlist window and drag the files to it. It is possible the files either never had or somehow lost their tag information and are not ending up in the library where you expect them to be. What format files are these? WAV doesn't preserve labels,

I have songs missing on iTunes but they are on my iPhone. How can I copy from the iPhone into iTunes on my mac air

I have songs missing from my iTunes on the computer but they are on my iPhone 3s and my iPad mini. How can I get them into iTunes so they are in my library.?I have the latest iTunes on my commuter. Thanks for any suggestions.

If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

Can I copy a playlist bought from Itunes store. So far can not see "burn" as choice under File per info

Bought a compilation CD, 2.3 hours----323MB, and want to make a copy to play in my stereo. (It has not AUX input so connecting the laptop is not an option)
First time I've done this so put in CD-R and got message to mark the playlist and then choose File--Burn list to CD.
Did so, but no choice offered under File heading like burn.
What's up? What's wrong. What to do?
PS Have just installed Itunes 10.5, which doe NOT have an accessible Help file on line, as many have reported.

The store sell songs in protected AAC format, that is ALL they sell. The protection prevents a direct format change. What you can do is burn your purchase to an audio CD, that audio CD can be used in the same manner that you can use any CD you would purchase at your local store.
Any major download site is required to have protection on their files by the major record companies to slow down the chance of illegal file sharing. Napster, the store for the Zune player, all of them will have protection that puts strict limits on what you can/can't do with your purchases. Hope this helps.

How can I convert spoken words to text on my MacBook

I am a leader of a group that has a profoundly deaf person who is interested in joing with us.
The problem is that hearing aids don't work for him and neither does amplifyed sound with headphones.
He is quite good on a computer.
What I would like to find is software that will convert a discussion group into words that can be displayed on my MBP. I have an ultra sensitive mic that I can use as well.
I have explored Dragon. But that needs to be trained to a single voice so it would not be useful in a group discussion.
Does any one have a suggestion or solution for me?
Dunc
I have a MacBook Pro, iPad Mini and an iPad Air as well as an iPhone 5s so you know the tools I have available

This may be a roundabout solution, but if you speak into the iPhone, you should be able to copy-paste the text recognized into any application that utilizes icloud, then access the pasted text from another device.

How can i copy a url playlist from itunes to iphone

i think i understand the basics of the music library but can't seem to figure this one out.
i want to add a playlist of url to my iphone. works fine in itunes but for some reason i can't get it on my phone. the phone and itunes have no actual music in the libary. all the music is on my personal server.
i create a playlist of music that is on my server. add that playlist to my itunes and then hit a wall. i tried doing a full sync and manualy adding the playlist but no luck.
is this even possible? does the iphone have to have the music file stored to have a playlist with the song in it?

that ***** i will try to find an alternate media player that will support url playlist entries. any one in particular that you recommend?
i am able to trick itunes into thinking it has the music. drag n drop the playlist into the music folder and the tracks are there. but still cant get them on the phone..
too bad there is no Winamp app
thanks for the quick reply

I've chrooted into it and undid everything and yet it doesn't change anything. I've uninstalled splashy and v86d, reedited the conf files to their original form. Perhaps there is some modifications that I am not aware of that happened during the installation. Packages I installed were splashy-full, v86d, and 915resolution-static which I have all removed. Files I've modified include rc.conf, mkinitcpio.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and uvesafb.conf. Aside from pacman I ran the command mkinitcpio -p kernel26
