Can iTunes play a stereo song that consists of two files (Left & Right)?

I generate stereo mixes in Pro Tools that are saved as two wav files, left and right channels, not as an interleaved stereo file. For example: StereoMix.L.wav and StereoMix.R.wav. This is normal for wav files.
I have converted these files to three different formats in Music Man Converter: AAC, MA4, and MP3.
The resulting stereo files also consist of two files each: Left & Right.
I want to add these to the iTunes Library and then compare audio quality. However, I can't get any of them to play. They appear in the Library as two separate files.
Can iTunes deal with a stereo mix consisting of two files, rather than a single stereo file?
How do you select both files to play simultaneously as a single stereo song?
Do I need to combine them somehow before iTunes can play them?
Thanks!

What program is used to do this?
Most mixing engineers I know use Pro Tools HD to mix music, and the resulting mix is always two files, L & R. I am wondering how iTunes handles normal wav files?
Anyway, I just need help on a workaround.......how do i combine wav, AAC, M4A, MP3 files that consist of two files?
The only file format that I have generated as an interleaved stereo file is MP3, which Pro Tools normally converts to one file when you generate an MP3.

Can iTunes Library read from or rather consist of two different folders?

Here is my situation...I have about 100 gb of music in my iTunes folder. Then I bought an apple tv and figured out how to start converting my 400 disc dvd collection to H.264/mpeg4, then import into iTunes, and then stream or sync with apple tv. I also would like to convert my music collection to apple lossless (only about 25% is lossless at this time). On average each dvd takes up 1.75 to 2.25 GB in iTunes following compression and H.264 encoding. I have a 750GB Hard drive dedicated for itunes media.
So my question/problem is that when you do the math (after converting to lossless and putting all my dvds into itunes, and then any future content I buy/add, etc...) I am going to run out of storage soon. When this happens can I just add another drive with an additional itunes folder? If so can iTunes access both, keep both organized, etc....? If so how do I set this up properly?

What's happening is iTunes thinks you want it to copy all the music from those drives and place it inside your "iTunes Music" folder. You can turn this preference off. It's on the Advanced tab of the Preferences window.
Now you can either use the Import menu or just drag/drop music from any and all drives to the Library window, and they will become part of your library. You must stay connected to those drives in order play the songs, of course. It's not quite so easy to manage the files when they are located on multiple drives, but you can always press Ctrl-R on any song to be shown the file.

Can iTunes play 2 different songs on 2 different airport express at the same time?

Hi
I am trying to setup a multi zone home audio system where iTunes will be the main source of music. I would like to be able to listen to different music in multiple zones at the same time and I am trying to find out if iTunes can support this or not. I know there are "multi zone audio systems" that can be purchases from different companies (elan, Russound, Control4, etc) but I want to see if this functionality exists within Apple hardware before purchasing a different system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

using two TV's you could do what you want. you'd have to select the content to stream on the units themselves or use Apple's remote app on an iDevice.

TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

Hello Carpathianna,
No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV. The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

Hello Apple Community,
I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)." This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV. (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.) I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080. I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV. In addition, I do not have sound yet. Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers. Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hello All,
I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.

If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

My new I5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?

Hi there everybody,
My new Iphone 5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?
Some help will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks much!

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

Sync increments play count for songs that haven't played since last sync

Sometime in the last two months, my iPhone 3G and iTunes started showing a bizarre behavior. I have a smart playlist that only plays songs that have not been played in the last 4 weeks and that have not been played more than a certain number of times (I add 1 to that number after each time it goes through my entire library). I sync the phone every night (because I don't want to lose the recently played data if the iPhone resets for some reason - another irritating bug). Anyway, sometimes when I sync the phone, it increments the play count for songs that were played before the previous sync as well as the songs played since the last sync. This means that those songs are being double counted, even though they were only played once.
Here's another way to describe the story:
Day 1: Play 50 songs with play count value X (call this set A). Sync at end of day, now all 50 songs in set A have play count value X+1.
Day 2: Play 50 more songs with play count X (call this set B). Sync at end of day, now songs in set B have play count X+1, but songs in set A now have play count X+2 (even though they were not played again).
Day 3: 50 more songs (set C). After sync, songs in set C have play count X+1, those in B have play count X+2, and those in set A have play count X+3.
It never seems to go more than 3 days back. This is not reliable - in fact, I thought it was fixed after the last iTunes update, but it just happened again.
One other thing that I notice: whenever this happens, the count shown for the playlist on the iPhone is incorrect. For example, today before the sync, it said I was on song 156 of 271 in my playlist. However, I only played about 50 songs today, and I synced last night, so it restarted the playlist from 1. I don't know when it jumped so much - when I restarted the playlist this morning, it was on 6 of 271 (which was correct).
The only other thing I think may play into this is when I have my playlist carry overnight (i.e. I start playing it at night after the sync, then come in in the morning and have it pick up where it left off). I am usually pretty good about syncing at the end of every day, but I think that I'm only seeing this behavior when I have this overnight thing going on.
Anyway, has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone have any suggestions? I would not use the play count in my smart playlist, but it's the only way to ensure that random play actually gets through my entire playlist when I'm forced to sync every night (because of the other bug).

wow, this is messed up! i'm sorry, but i don't have a solution for you, more of a 'work around'. what i have started doing is using the 'genre' field to keep track of the songs i have listened to, and those that i have not.
i set the genre for all of my songs to be '0'. after syncing, in my iPhone, i go into the 'genre' listing, go into '0', hit 'view all songs' and start playing the first song i have. next, when i sync, i change the 'genre' in all of the songs i've listened to to '1', and after i resync, i can go into my iPhone (using the same method above) and start playing the songs i haven't listened to.
i know it's a pain, but it's the only workaround i have for this problem. i'm very disappointed in apple and the iPhone because of their lack of awesome playlist support. i had a creative mp3 player that was supremely awesome with playlists. i would add all of my songs to a 'playlist', and be able to listen to a few songs, then go watch a video, and when i went back into the music player, it would remember the last song i was listening to. it wouldn't remember where i was in the song, but the fact that it remembered the song i was listening to made it one of the best devices i've had. i wish that apple would spend some time and make this functionality possible.

iTunes has this song by Luiz Gonzaga Jr (Palavras) that plays as the song that follows (A Felicidade Bate A Sua Porta) and vice versa, and i thought Palavras would sound like the other: so isn't this a mis-labled song situation?

Can I create a 2nd iTunes account on one PC that caters for two seperate devices for different people?

For what reason would you do that?
Simply connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
iTunes remembers the sync profile per device.
