Can no longer rip to MP3 format - mediasou

Ive been using creative media source ver3 for a few years now, and so far i've never had a problem with ripping CDs to the MP3 format, however since 'upgrading' to version5, the mp3 format option is no longer there, instead theres a message "click to learn about mp3 formats"
clicking on this message takes you to this page, where it says you have to pay US$9.99 to be able to rip to mp3 format again.
When i origanaly purchased my Zen Xtra, the ability to rip CDs to mp3 was included with the product as an integral part of the mdeia source software, seing as i've already paid for it ( as a part of my inital purchase) how can i get it back?

Hi everyone,
Please check the version number of your Creative MediaSource software. If you have a Creative MediaSource version of 2.0.0 or greater (prior to 5.x), ripping to MP3 format is supported. Upgrading to the latest version will not impact this functionality even if you uninstall your older version of Creative MediaSource after you have installed Creative MediaSource 5.x.
However if you have a Creative MediaSource version that is older than version 2.0.0, you are recommended not to uninstall your older version of Creative MediaSource even though you have already installed Creative MediaSource 5.x so as to continue to have the rip, record and convert to MP3 functionality in Creative MediaSource 5.x.
Hope this information is useful.

Can't rip to MP3 format using Creative Audio CD Rip

ALL the documentation says I can choose a format besides WMA. Except when I get to the dialogue box where I can change settings, Creative provides me a LINK that "explains MP3 formats."
And what does clicking that link get me
"You have reached an outdated page."
Okay, the honeymoon's over.
Documentation is just downright bad, support is minimal (I mean, really, EMAIL ), and some things that should be simple and intuiti've (like ripping a CD track to MP3 format) just aren't. This is my first, last, and ONLY Creative product I'm throwing any money at. When this things dies, I'm just getting a Sansa. My last Sansa, though a mere 52MB, had REAL documentation and did everything it was supposed to without forcing me to follow dead links or send emails! Switching brands was a huge mistake - one I won't make again.

Can flash record audio in .mp3 format?

I have an Audio Recorder created in flash. Currently it records audio and saves it in .flv format.(I am using AS2.0 and Red5 server)
My question is: Is there any way by which I can record and save audio in .mp3 format, directly?
Thanks in advance.

The .flv format is a "container" format, not a video format.
So that means that inside the container, you can have a video file and/or an audio file or even just an audio file.. which most likely is already an mp3 file. Use something like "FLV Extract" to break open the container and see:
http://moitah.net/
But really, for any Web delivery of audio, the .flv (audio only) method works just fine. Lots of media players available for the Flash .flv file.
For example:
Sounds from my bunk on the Lady Washington
http://exploreolympics.com/reports/?p=2857
Scroll down to third media player.
A little quiet to start with... but this is a .flv file with just an mp3 audio file inside.
Best of luck!

I can no longer see my mp3 cover art in finder

Last week I updated OS to 10.8.2, then later that week I did a disk check and permissions verify and repair, after that none of the mp3 tap images show up in finder, I do allot sound post work, and it help to be able to see the cover art once an mp3 file has been tagged. I spent 1.5 hours at the apple store yesterday, we checked and the tag images were visable on another computers through shared folder, so we tried deleting plists, but it definitly system wide and not on a user lever setting. I also did a re-install, ( were I did notice the downloader is extremely slow, I have very fast internet 50mps and lets just say it was moving at dial up speed.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alexander

Im having the same issue. Did you find any solutions?

I can no longer burn my mp3 purchases to a disk what happened?

We have burned several single songs that we have purchased from Amazon. As of the last months, we cannot get them to the windows burn a cd window. I try to download them, but I just get caught in a circle. I noticed that everything is mp3 now, but those used to burn to a cd. Has there been a major change with doing that?

This is an OS issue with windows and/or software you are using for your MP3's & not related to your Internet Browser, regardless of which one you are using (IE, FireFox, Chrome etc..)
Check out the site below, it's very helpful helpful with windows 7 issues & problems. It's non official thus community based such as the support forums here. Good luck.

Can no longer simultaneously stream an mp3 in Safari when using fast user switching option.

After updating to ios 5, I can no longer stream an mp3 in Safari when I use the fast user switching option. For instance, if you are listening to streaming content in a Safari tab and want to reference another app as soon as you switch from the Safari stream pauses.
This was not the case with previous versions of ios. Any ideas on a work around to restore this functionality to keep Safarr streaming content in the background?

User switching problems is the very first thing I noticed with SL. I have a host of other problems with SL but this is one of the most frustrating. The user switching did not work on 10.6 very well either but was wicked fast in 10.5.x
Apple rewrote the Kernel so this type of thing is expected, still the test crew missed this very noticable problem. Hopefully 10.6.2 has a fix.

Can't convert my itunes to mp3 format for my LYRA MP3 player

I purchashed a mp3 player for my son. We have approximately 177 itunes I have purchased in my library. I can not convert them to mp3 format so I can download on player. Dialog box reads "files are protected and format can not be changed". Please help. I have paid for these tunes and would hate to do so again.

I'm not sure I completely follow what it is you are trying to do, but it strikes me you're making it more complicated than need be.
iTunes imports files in the format set in your preferences. If you want to import as other than mp3 then set the other format in your preferences.
iTunes is also set by default to put a copy of tracks you add into your iTunes folder. You can unset this in preferences (I have this unset) but most people don't because it kind of messes up file management. You can also temporarily disable it for files you are dragging to iTunes by holding the option key. If you use iTunes for converting it will add them to iTunes - that's the way it behaves. I often use non-iTunes applications such as Max or XLD for doing my conversions (you also get to use the LAME codec for mp3 which some consider better than iTunes).
You can add a column to your lists display which is format, or just go by the file size or bit rate display columns. While not definitive, I can usually depend upon files saying 128k bitrate or 3 MB in size to be mp3 (I have almost no AAC tracks) vs. AIFFwhich would have much higher bitrate and much bigger files.
If you have mp3 files and want to put them on a flash drive, highlight the items you want to add (it could be a whole playlist) and drag this from the iTunes window to the flash drive in a Finder window.

Audio recordings on my iPad are aifc. How convert to MP3 format for email?

I am making audio recordings via an app on my iPad Retina. Unfortunately, it gives them an aifc extension. How can I convert these to MP3 format?

Import it onto a computer and convert it.

Can I export iTunes files in an MP3 format to a thumb drive so that I can play them on my car stereo?

Is this even possible? I know dragging and dropping the items from iTunes onto the drive doesn't work. Anybody know if/how it can be done?
Thanks.

Some corrections needed (but I use an older iTunes and no longer bother to try to keep up with newer versions or Apple doings):
Unless Apple has changed things back to the way they were 5 years ago, your music purchases are DRM free and you can now convert AAC to MP3 within iTunes (unless your files are from DRM days).
Again unless Apple has changed things, creating mp3s from AAC files in iTunes will not replace the AAC. It will create new files (make sure iTunes preferences are set to create mp3). In iTunes you have to display the "kind" column to distinguish because your AAC original and mp3 copy will appear as duplicates since they will have similar tags.
You say dragging doesn't work. Please clarify. No files copy? The files copy but won't play? Dragging from an iTunes playlist to a drive will normally copy files (it does with iTunes 7.5) unless the drive is locked. Files will not play if your car doesn't support the file format you try (dragging AAC files will put AAC on the drive which is still not universally supported), or if you format your drive to an unsupported format. That should be specified by your car's player but likely will not support Mac formatted drives and you should probably leave the FAT32 format that many drives comes as. If you formatted to Mac then you should reformat the flash drive back to DOS.

Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format. I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc. The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
WHats going on? Thanks

How can I add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in iTunes for Windows? There is even no the 'Lyrics' tab in the 'Get Info'.

This topic may be old for you, but I searched everywhere on internet and there's still no solution. I even called the Apple Support and the contact support is taking so long to answer... I can't add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in my iTunes 11.1.3 for my Windows 8.1, I clicked right at the song in my iTunes library, clicked 'Get Info', and there's no 'Lyrics' tab there. I tried several lyrics-adder programs but they just won't work. How can I add lyrics for my MP3 songs then?

You may find that the file is Read-only, which means that it cannot be altered.
However, you can change the Read-only in "Properties" using your file manager.
1. The location (for the next step) of a song is found by looking n the Get Info/Summary>Where: of each song. Make a note of the location.
2. Go to the location (on your computer) of the song, right-click it and the last item on the pop-up menu is Properties. Go into Properties/General>Atributes and turn off the tick in the box named Read-only. Now go back to your iTunes Library and try that song again. The Lyrics tab should now be there.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
Follow this path: iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar then you don't have an audio file.
