Can I take a regular mp3 file and turn it into a podcast?

Hi,
I have a large pool of talk radio files. They're just plain mp3's. When I put podcasts on my ipod I get the little blue dot next to a cast, after listening to it, the dot goes away.
I would like to take my talk mp3's and convert them to podcasts so I get this same feature with the blue dot?
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Brent

  • How can I extract both my mp3 file and its associated .jpg out of itunes

    Hi everybody,
    I'm a DJ and once a month, I like to share a set of mine with my friends. For each set, I also make a dedicated flyer.
    I usually put the recorded set in Itunes, then I add the flyers using the "Illustration" (I'm using a French version) tag.
    Then, I drag the new file (both the .mp3 and .jpg) on a folder on my computer and I can see the flyers and not the normal Mac icon for music file.
    I had always worked, but today I tried to do the same but it doesn't work anymore. In Itunes, my mp3 file contain the flyers, but when I drag it to another folder, the flyer is not there anymore.
    What happened???
    does anybody know a freeware to associate a mp3 with a .jpg?
    Thanks for your help,
    Have a nice day

    Bonjour.
    I'm not firm with the french iTunes but I'm sure its similar to all other iTunes in the world, except the language of the menus.
    You can include the cover (Illustration) inside the music file. mp3, AAC or Lossless makes no difference.
    To do so go to:
    The song (or songs) by marking it (them) in the main iTunes window. Then right click mouse (or two fingers on touchpad) and choose "Information"
    In the information window go to the tab called "cover"
    Move the wanted picture via drag & drop into this window. The best format for such illustrations are 500 x 500 pixels. If yours are bigger then iTunes will resize it to fit.
    Click on save
    If you will change the cover for more than one file (song) you will be ask "you are sure to change all files"
    Simply press ok
    After that the cover will show up in iTunes and will be exported within the file if you pass the song to others..
    There is no reason to place the cover / Illustration in the Music folder cause iTunes uses for imported covers the "Album Artwork" Folder in the Library.

  • In C#, how can I detect an opened PDF file and save it into disk?

    he WebBrowse componente in C# opened an PDF file inside. The file came from the Internet. So, the Adobe Acrobat Reader was called and opened the file correctly. I want to save this file to disk. How can I do it?
    The WebBRowse component does not have access to the PDF content.

    PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

  • Convert regular mp3 file to podcast?

    I regularly record radio shows on my desktop Mac and then put them on my ipod to hear later. I'm trying to find a way of marking those I've listened to on the ipod. I wondered about the possibility of making them podcast files, so that they go to the Podcast folder and get the blue-dot-unplayed/no-dot-played feature. This would give me what I want, I think - a way of managing visually on the ipod what I have and have not listened to. But how do I make a regular mp3 file 'think' that it is a podcast file? I've looked around - here and elsewhere - and it seems to involve esoteric stuff about id3 tags and particularly the pcst tag. But is there a very easy way for non-geek me to do what I want? Or even a way that doesn't involve converting to podcast files, but just marking the files on the ipod in some way as 'played'? I'd really welcome some advice from you knowledgeable guys.

    Thank you chaps: they both sound like good schemes and I'll try them.
    However, they both rely on reconnecting the ipod to the desktop machine to change the status of the played tracks: only then will they disappear as played tracks/podcasts.
    Is there not a way of marking particular tracks in a playlist on the ipod, using the ipod, so that I can see which I've played and which not? The single-star rating trick doesn't help, because you don't see that on a list of tracks. Any other ideas?

  • Can Media Encoder take an image sequence in the watch folder and turn it into a video file?

    I'm using OSX and Media Encoder 6 (from premier 6) and can't figure out how to make the watch folder take a .jpeg or .dpi sequence and turn it into a single video file.
    I tried copying all the stills into the watch folder, that made 60 individual video files (one for each image).
    I tried making a folder inside the watch folder, and copying all the images into it.. to which Media Encoder did nothing.
    What am I missing? Will Media Encoder take image sequences and render them out as a audio-less video for me?
    Thanks for any imput.

    Hi action_packed,
    This is from the documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/add-items-encoding-queue.html
    Still Image Sequences are not supported as source footage through Watch Folders. If a set of still images is placed in the folder being watched, each individual still file will be added as a separate item to the Queue rather than than the entire sequence as a single piece of footage.
    Make a feature request for that here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
    Thanks,

  • Transfering iTunes file to regular mp3 file

    Okay so I have a song that I got from iTunes in my my music folder. I need to transfer it to a regular mp3 file so I can use it on windows movie maker. Do you guys know how to do that? Thanks to all who try to help.

    You can use iTunes to convert any songs in your library that are free of copy protection to another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example and choose the Setting or "bit rate" you want. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format

  • HOW CAN I ACCESS MY IPODS MP3 FILES

    i deleted my music folder by mistake and now only have all my mp3's on my ipod, how do i get them off my ipod to a new music folder ...please can anyone help me ?

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Take an existing text file and modify values

    I’m looking to take an existing text file and modify certain values inside of it. Then save it to a new file, with all the same formatting as the original. The file format is not uniform and can change.
    Basically the file is:
    Random numbers and letters of unknown length for an unknown number of lines.
    Label="Test_#"
    Description
    String
    X=123
    Y=456
    Z=-789
    20 lines of strings with numbers in them
    Label="Test_#2"
    Description
    String
    X=-1232
    Y=4562
    Z=7892
    Then it repeats a set number of times.
    I want to modify the X Y and Z = values for each Test_#.
    I’ve managed to import the important values into a numeric array and I have a different array with values that will replace the existing ones. I’m having troubles replacing the existing ones. There are no zeros before or after the existing numbers so they are all different lengths.
    If anyone has any sample code that does anything similar please post it. I’m sure someone has done something like this in the past. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just thought I would throw this out there.  Can you make the .txt file tokenized?  This would make searching for specific parameters much easier.

  • Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad using the camera connector

    Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad - i have a canon 400d and the new ipad.......

    The camera connection kit accepts only SD camera memory cards.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

    When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
    Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

  • How do I convert my music to an mp3 file and then email it?

    Hi!
    Can someone tell me how to convert my music I loaded on itunes to an mp3 file, and then how to email this file,
    so someone can open it and hear it, e tc?
    thanks!
    Maggie
    [email protected]

    Set the iTunes Import preference to MP3, select the track, and then choose the Convert menu command. Then attach it to the email using whatever method or command your email application uses.
    Note that it will be illegal to send this track to someone else unless they already have purchased a copy or it's a track that you composed and performed yourself.

  • ICloud: Will it work with non-iTunes music, converted MP3 files and manually organized library folder?

    I have a small question about the new iCloud that was introduced.
    I listen to music both on my notebook and on my desktop PC. At the moment I use an external hard drive that I keep with me so my music library exists on both computers. If I'm correct the new iCloud means I no longer need the external hard drive.
    But,
    Not all my music was purchased through iTunes. Some things are converted from CD's I bought and the CD is different from the iTunes version. (More songs, other songs,...) What happens with the songs that are different, or music that does not exist (I have a QOTSA CD which is not available outside the US iTunes store, or several LE bonus discs)?
    Some local artists are not on the iTunes store. Is it possible to sync those to?
    And the most important one, I also listen to my music in my car. It has support for an SD-card but no USB support so I can't hook my iPod. It only accepts MP3 files and it needs correctly filled in ID3 tags to show up nicely. I convert all my music with iTunes to MP3, but I use MusicBrainz to tag my music because I found that the iTunes ID3 tags will not be correctly picked up. I'm quite happy with this approach as it also means that I can organize my music library to my liking instead of the "let's throw all artists in one folder" approach iTunes uses. Is it possible to use the iCloud with my MP3 converted and tagged versions of my Music?
    Thanks.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    To avoid that see:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.

    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • Cannot download Mp3 files and some other format

     Hi people,
    I cannot download Mp3 files and many other files. I cannot update my Ovi Store app and pretty much everything else. I can download pdf and zip using opera but almost everything else (including mp3 and sis files) redirects to Nokia browser which just freezes no download. I have tried another same model phone E72 and no problem.
    It seem my browser is corrupt and can't find way to reinstall.
    Also why don't nokia let us download with browser of our choice? I would rather use opera than inbuilt one
