Can't import mp3 file to LE7

I'm a new mac convert, and a new logic user (awaiting v8 upgrade).
I frequently record gigs, rehearsals and lessons on an Edirol R09 flash recorder, as 320K mp3 files. On the PC, for files I wanted to archive, my routine was to pull the file into Cooledit 2000 for editing (usually at least normalize, compress, normalize; sometimes more).
I assumed LE7 would be (though massive overkill) capable of this little routine. But when I try to import one of these mp3s, or drag it into the Arrange window, I get a dialog box with "What kind of file is this" and only an Abort button (i.e., no way to "answer the question").
So, take your pick from two questions:
* How can I do this in LE7/8?
* Is there a more appropriate tool for this purpose?
Thanks

You have to import it into the AUDIO window first, then drag it from there into the arrange window.

  • I can't import MP3 files - why?

    I'm new to iTunes, and am wondering why I can't permanently import MP3 files that are currently on a DVD into my iTunes library. (Right now, iTunes will only recognize the songs when the DVD is in the computer). Is there any way that I can permanently move them into my iTunes library, so that I can then download the songs to my iPod?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I'm sorry for all the questions, but when I previously tried to add the files from the DVD to iTunes library (using the File -> Add file (or Folder)command), it created new folders in my iTunes library for the files, but they were empty. So, when I tried to download everything from iTunes into my iPod, the iPod said that the songs "couldn't be found". That's why I was so upset --after spending two hours thinking that I was importing selected songs into my iTunes, I learned that I was really only creating empty folders for them...!

  • I Can't import MP3 files in iTunes?

    When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
    The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
    I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
    For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
    (I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
    Thanks in advance for any help !!!

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • Help! can't import mp3 files

    hello,everyone. I'm a new logic user and I met several problems when i first used logic 7.2.3.
    One problem is that i cannot import mp3 files, when i do so, the logic tell me 'Permission was denied, probably due to insufficient access rights.' Another problems is that everytime i pressed the record button, there will always be 2 seconds to wait before the logic starting record, though the cursor is moving. Sometimes it is useful but sometimes i don't need time to wait. What can i do to cancel the wait time?
    well, i am a foreigner and english is not my mother tongue, so maybe i cannot express myself clearly. Advanced thanks for you.

    Hi,
    The reason your mp3 cannot be imported is the following:
    The mp3 is locked, and does not allow the operation to happen.
    Try this:
    1. COPY the mp3 file onto your hard drive.
    2. in your finder, look up your mp3. press "apple+i" for the file info to be displayed.
    3. look at the bottom of the info pane that pops up, and CHANGE the permissions for everyone to "read+write"
    4. CLOSE the info pane, and then try to import the mp3 inot Logic. It should now import normally.
    Cheers

  • How can I import mp3 files that I received in an email to iTunes?

    I received an email (gmail on exchange server, if that is material) containing an .mp3 file that I would like to "import" into iTunes.  I have downloaded it, but I don't know where downloads "go" on the iPhone, so I can only play it directly from the email.  Moreover, it plays in quicktime, not iTunes, so I don't even have the option to save it into a library while/after it plays.  I would like to move this file into iTunes -- how can I do this?
    All help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The only thing you can save to your phone, using Safari, is a pic, nothing else.

  • Can't import mp3 file from desktop.

    I can't import a mp3 file from my desktop.  When I tried to import the file, nothing happened no matter how I tried to import it.  Itunes is up-to-date and the diagnosis can't detect anything wrong.  I tried using Stream on the website where I found the file, but nothing happened. Please help!

    "Nothing happened" is iTunes's way of saying the file is not compatible.
    Did you try playing the file in another player, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp, to make sure it is a valid MP3?
    If it is valid, but iTunes will not accept it, it may have minor corruption.  In that case, treat it with a 3rd party cleanup app such as MP3Val.  That is usually sufficient to make iTunes happy.

  • Can't import MP3 Files into iTunes 10.6.1

    I'm a long time user of iTunes and haven't had any problems until the last couple of days.  I use a Macbook Pro with my iTunes Library on an external drive - I was trying to demonstrate using the iTunes store to a friend and created a temporary iTunes libary on my local disk (away from my office).  I then switched back to my iTunes library on the external drive but some music had disappeared.  It is in the correct folder in the library.  So as a lst ditch effort I created a new library on another disk (I was running out of space anyway).  Now I can't import anything with an extension of mp3. 
    Any help would be appreciated

    MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
    Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
    In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

  • Can't Import MP3 or AAC Files

    Hello All,
    I can't seem to import MP3 files (or aac) into Garageband. I've tried dragging a variety of formats and sample rates (including 44.100). If I drag an MP3 from Itunes to a space in the time line, it says "importing file" but then no waveform or file shows up anwhere! Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I've looked at every tutorial video and how to video I can find and I can't figure out if I'm just missing something.
    Macbook Pro 2008, Garage Band 4.1.2 all updated.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    UPDATE
    After much experimentation, I realized that files which I imported to my new MacBook Pro from an original source (downloading or ripping from DC) can be imported to Garageband on that computer. I discovered this by organizing my library in Itunes by the "Date Added" field. All other songs that won't import to GarageBand were transferred recently from my old Dell.
    I also played around trying to isolate the issue.
    1. I took a file that had been imported from my dell to the Itunes on my new MacBook pro. It wouldn't import to GarageBand.
    2. I re encoded it as a WAV file using Itunes. Then it would import ok.
    3. I re encoded the WAV file back to MP3 using Itunes. It would then import again ok.
    So it seems it's how the file is encoded that is the issue. The original MP3 file that wouldn't import to GarageBand was a high quality 320KBS, 44.100 kHZ copy. Only after using the Itunes encoder would it work. But the odd thing is new files I download to the MacBook computer work fine too.
    Go figure. If anyone has a suggestion for how I can make GarageBand recognize the thousands of songs I imported from my old computer I'd appreciate it. Ideally it's an easy fix!!
    I also tried to reimport an older file from my Dell in case it was file path issue (which doesn't really ever happen with macs, right?). I deleted the old file off my hard drive. Then I had Itunes reimport the file from my desktop. That would work. It took totally converting the file using Itunes to make it work with GarageBand.
    Hope this helps some confused soul out in cyberspace.
    Cheers,
    Ian

  • 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.

    Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes.  How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.
