Can iTunes import 5.1 Audio CDs (basically a DVD)

I have picked up some new albums recently and they are not being imported by iTunes. Some are the DualDisc format. CD on one side and DVD on the other with 5.1 audio. The CD side will import but the other side will not. e.g. Weird Al, Straight Outta Lynwood. Some albums just have the 5.1 Audio format. e.g. Barenaked Ladies, Are Me Deluxe Edition 5.1
I would like to import it for the enhanced audio along with the various videos or extra footage that may exist. At this point I would just be happy if I could just get the audio imported. Is there any way for iTunes to import these formats or will I need a 3rd party application?
Windows XP Pro

That may work for the dual disc formats. Although I question the point of a video iPod that won't import video. A CD is copywritten material and it will import.
So, for an album that is only in the DVD format like BNL "Are Me Deluxe Edition" there is no way to get it into iTunes and eventually my iPod. iTunes even sells the album in a standard format. Are you saying that I need to buy it a second time for the iPod/iTunes?

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

Terry Woolf
Thanks for the reply.
The link to your prior thread is
Audio
I suspect that the issue of no audio for your .mp4 file goes to your conversion method MXF to .mp4.
Please excuse if I am saying what you already know. When you import your video into Premiere Elements (in your case 12 Mac), a project
preset is established, either by you manually or the project automatically. That project preset contains a description of the project settings
for audio as well as video. Unless you select one of the project presets which are described for use with 5.1 channel, your audio in video audio
imports into a stereo project. It is in the export area that you will find your opportunity to customize (if necessary) the settings for audio.
In the project, if applicable to your situation, you can duplicate an audio channel (See Fill Left or Fill Right under fx Effects/Audio Effects).
Please let me ask this to make sure of the details.
If you import your .mp4 with 2 channel audio (derived from your .mxf convert and dragged to Video Track 1/Audio Track 1) and cannot hear the sound....
a. do you see any evidence for an audio file in the Timeline Audio track 1?
b. if you do, how many wave forms do you see, one or two?
c. if you have the audio meters opened while you are playing back the Timeline content in Edit area, do you see 1 or 2 channels and is
there activity in both.
d. when you import the file into Project Assets, do you observe any conforming activity going on in progress bar in the lower right cover of the workspace...if
so, do you wait for it to go to completion before continuing on?
We could also try deleting the conformed audio in the Media Cache Files Folder to force the program to re-conform the audio. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks should show you the location of the Media Cache Files Folder whose contents you will be deleting.
Please review and consider, and then let me know if I targeted your question. If not, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I will rethink my reply based
on your response.
Thank you.

simple : you put itunes application in a folder. then you reinstall itunes 4.7 for example. then put 4.7 at the end of itunes application name, same with itunes 5. then drop each of them in the dock. decide where you want to have all the playlists so you don't have to switcha ll the time between them. then when you need to listen to a cd or import mp3, you launch itunes 4.7. then the unknown artist folder in your home folder/music will be placed in a music folder somewhere on your HD. create playlist from this folder.
then you activate itunes 5 for ipod sync or any other purpose. when itunes 6 will be finally updated, you remove itunes 5 and the home/music files of itunes 5, then reinstall the new itunes 6, which will normally take over the playlists of 4.7.
apple makes it not simple but more and more complex so it has the greatness of sophistication and class but the weakness of complexity and bugs ! hope this does not last !
thanks for the beer, send it thru internet !

How can I import several small audio files to create one BIG file in iTunes

I have ONE cd with THREE audio stories contained in EIGHTEEN audio files (6 files make each story). I also have an iMac. Not sure if they're mp3 or not, but they play on computers and car radios.
How can I take this CD, whisper abracadabra and end up with three files (each with one story)? Don't need to re-burn a CD, but just need to get them on to an iPod.
I've tried inserting the CD and using the right mouse click/info/options to select 6 files and identify them as a 'gapless album' - but this did not link the files together.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I have read pages & pages of topics, but could not find this particular issue.

Insert the CD.
Don't Import it yet.
Select the CD in iTunes.
Select the consecutive tracks uyou want joined as one file.
Go to menu Advanced > Join CD tracks.
Do this for each set of tracks you want as one file.
Then Import the CD.
If the tracks are already in iTunes, no need to import them again.
Use this -> Join Together
"Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can then create a "chapterized" audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks."

Can iTunes play 5.1 audio on a Mac (not AppleTV)?

My Macbook, like many other Macs, has a digital audio port that doubles as a stereo mini-jack for headphones. I'm interested in importing videos into iTunes with 5.1 sound and playing them with iTunes, with the audio going out the mini-jack to a toslink adapter to my surround-decoding receiver. Can iTunes on a Macbook import and playback 5.1 surround content or will it get converted to stereo in the import?

That may work for the dual disc formats. Although I question the point of a video iPod that won't import video. A CD is copywritten material and it will import.
So, for an album that is only in the DVD format like BNL "Are Me Deluxe Edition" there is no way to get it into iTunes and eventually my iPod. iTunes even sells the album in a standard format. Are you saying that I need to buy it a second time for the iPod/iTunes?

Can iTunes Import Nokia DRM Protected Music Files

I have 10000s of downloads from Nokia's Comes With Music / Ovi Music Unlimited. Ignoring the issues over the 25k limit, these are DRM protected downloads runnable from Nokia phones and any computer I nominate with a 90 day period before allowing a reswitch. Will iTunes Match recognise the Nokia DRM protected music files and give me a DRM free product at a higher bitrate?

You won't be able to match non-Apple DRM downloads - you'd have to find a way to strip the DRM off first. For example, Rhapsody had recommended ripping their protected DRM files by burning to CD (as well as Yahoo! Music and Walmart) so that way the DRM layer would be removed at the expense of sound quality. I'm not sure how this service works but iTunes probably won't be able to import them as-is.
You probably don't even need to subscribe to iTM to test this - just install iTunes and try to import the files - if you can't import them into iTunes, then iTM definitely won't work.

Can you import only the audio?

In the latest version of FCPX, is there a way to import only the audio and not the video (I'm dealing with AVCHD files, if that matters)?

No. But, once you get the media into your event browser there is an easy way to bring just the audio to your timeline.

Help needed: How can I import a large audio collection with many playlists? iTunes crashes because so many playlists try to load and play at once.

I've got a problem that I can't seem to figure out after reading scads of articles and posts. I'd be grateful for any help or ideas you can provide. Here's what's going on.
I have a folder of GraphicAudio audio books. It contains roughly 500 subfolders, one for each book. In each folder are the mp3 files for the book and an m3u file that was supplied with the books at the time of purchase. None of this content is currently in my iTunes library.
When I try to add this folder to my iTunes library, iTunes starts trying to play each playlist it encounters. It crashes after around 30 seconds. I suspect this is because it tries to switch and play playlists so rapidly.
I don't actually want iTunes to start playing each playlist it finds. I just want to import my files. Once they're imported, I can select them and send individual books to my iPod Touch.
Do any of you know of a work-around for this? I'm dreading the thought of having to import each subfolder one by one. I keep thinking that if I could just prevent iTunes from automatically trying to play the playlists, it would import the mp3s and playlist info without a problem. If there's no way to do this in iTunes, might there be a third party app that can manage it somehow?
For reference, I'm using the latest version of 64 bit iTunes under 64 bit Windows 7.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
That said you should probably start by "undoing" the creation of extra mp3s. If you sort the song list on the Date Added column you can select then first song from the relevant batch, then scroll to the end of the group, hold shift and click to select the range. You can then delete and send to the recycle bin.
My script won't be as effective against this group. The "Convert to format" tool may well specifiy a different bit rate from the source file, but it won't ever increase the quality of the audio. Clearly converting 128k mp3 to 256k mp3 would have no benefit so you want the original files.
If you still have duplicates use the script to thin out what remains.

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
b dvd audio ripping
or some such terms.
Good Luck!

I can't Import Video, Transitions & Audio From One Project To Another

I've been working on this video all day and I’m finally in the home stretch but I've encountered my biggest problem yet. This is what I want to do. I have a series of clips, transitions, and separate music track in 1 open project and I want to transfer the whole kit and caboodle to another open project. For some reason when I do it only imports the video and some audio that's in track 1. I have tried locking audio clips to the video but it doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone help me!? I'm bleary eyed already I've been at this so long. Thanks!

catspaw: Thanks for replying!!! I think I was unclear as to what my problem was. The way I work is to have one Master project open and I then import various clips from other secondary projects as I build my movie. I know . . . this might seem nutty it’s just how I work. The clips, sound and transition were from a separate project but they were only part of the main movie I was building in my Master Project. Am I making any since? Anyway, I couldn’t take it any more so I rolled up my sleeves and went 1 by 1 through the audio clips and lined them up by hand with the imported video. I know this must be almost INPOSSIBLE to understand the way I’m explaining it, sorry! Basically, though, for now, I’ve solved the problem. Thanks so much! I’ll post again when I have my next iMovie anxiety attack.

Importing music from Audio CDs to iCloud

I'm brand new to the world of Apple with an iPad2. One of the things that I'd like to do is to import my music CDs to iTunes. Now I have approx 400 CDs, so I'm thinking that iCloud should be where I store all of this music. The question is: How do I do that?

Insert the Disc into your computer and iTunes will ask you what you would like to do with it or if it doesn't ask choose add to library from the file menu and choose the disc or select specific tracks to add.

Can Itunes Import & play 24bit 96khz music files?

Hi there if i imported some 24bit 96khz music files into Itunes will the files remain this format or will Itunes compress them?
Also is my Ipad/Iphone able to play 24bit 96khz files or not?

With the Apple Lightning CCK and iPhone 5 /IOS6 it seems to be okay to play flac format with soft Ampliflac.
However with IOS7 Apple has blocked the way ! it's terrible, Apple Lightning CCK doesn't work, see

Regarding iTunes, it can play your slamping, in case you put the setting in the right one
I can't understand Apple that block these right slampings under powerful devices like 5S... I know they can't sell very heavy files in density buisness but it's always nice to be free to play what we naturaly like !

How to? - Logic can now import multichannel interleaved audio files and convert them to individual mono files

This was listed as a new feature in the 10.1 Logic Pro X update but how do you do it? I don't see it in any documentation.
Thanks

have you tried just digging around yourself and see what you can find?
Otherwise,
Maybe Edgar knows?
