Can't save to .mp3!

Hello All,
I just got a new machine with a quad core processor. I installed 3.0 and it has not acted right since. When I save files the cursor is in a wierd place. I CAN'T save .mp3. It comes out as .wav (and a funky .wav at that)
In the save as dropdown box it says *wav*;mp3 and saves it as a wierd .wav file.
Can you please help? You can e-mail me [email protected]
Thanks!
Jake

That usually occurs if you accidentally include .wav in the file name and then add .mp3 to the end of it so it has two fullstops in the file name. As you have discovered giving it the correct name resets the correct file suffix.

    Can you save an mp3 file you receive as an attachment to an email?

    Irwinwilliam-
    With other attachments, you can press and hold on the attachment icon.  One of the options that may appear is "Open In".  Choosing that, any App that is capable of reading the attachment should show up as a choice.  When opening the document that way, a copy is transferred to the App.  I have not tried with an MP3 file.
    For MP3, I think the Music App should be a choice.  If so, the file should then appear with your other music.
    If an inappropriate App appears in "Open In", you may be able to use it as a conduit to transfer the attachment to your computer.  Run iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected.  Select the iPad under DEVICES, and click on Apps at the top of the window.  Scroll down to File Sharing and select that App.  If successful, your document will appear to the right in the Documents window, where you can select it and Save As.

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

  • My video is crap but I love the sound. Can I save the sound track of a movie as an mp3?

    My video is crap but I love the sound. How Can I save the sound track of a movie as an mp3?

    Yes, you can do this.
    In iMovie, use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME...
    In the dialog box, choose "Sound to AIFF".
    This will create a sound only version of your movie in the AIFF codec.
    You can drag this AIFF file into iTunes and convert it to AAC or MP3.
    In iTunes, go to iTunes/Preferences. In the General Tab, click the Import Settings button. Remember how it is currently set, (because you may want to change it back.) Choose IMPORT USING: MP3 Encoder.
    Now, right-click on the music track in iTunes and select "Create MP3 Version".

  • How do I save an MP3 into iTunes using an iPad?

    I'm using an iPad 1 and there's an MP3 on a web site I like. How can I save it to iTunes?

    i have some more info I can add to my problem
    if I login to the podcast website from a windows7 pc using firefox, and I try to download the MP3 I can make two choices. I can click on the link to listen to the podcast in the broswer. Or I can right click and select "save link as" to save the MP3 locally.
    the link is.   http://www.jimrome.com/member/stream-link?stream=2011-04-22&site=jimrome&type=download_show&clips=1
    If i chose to "save link as" it will direct me to the .MP3 file to download.  And if I do this on my BB Torch it will do a similar thing. It will ask me if I want to play or save the .mp3 file.
    but if I navigate to that linkk with my playbook, and I hold over the link and select "Save link as". It doesn't save the .mp3 file.  it only saves the link ...."http://www.jimrome.com/member/stream-link?stream=2011-04-22&site=jimrome&type=download_show&clips=1"
    so on my playbook, my only option is to stream the file, because even if I stream the mp3 it will play in a new tab. but I will still have no option to save it.  
    hope that helps..  please let me know if there is a work around.

  • Converting an MP3 to WAV -- How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit

    How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit, 44,1 khz? I like the program Switch which I know can convert MP3s, but how to I set it up for the specific settings that I need?

    Just import into a logic session. Then bounce at the specs you require. Logic or Waveburner, iTunes and even Quicktime I think can each do this easily.
    A question though. I am assuming you are converting an MP3 to 44.1/16 bit just so you can play the file in a consumer quality CD player?? IF so - that makes sense.
    But if you are doing this because you think it will improve the sound quality of your MP3, I will save you some time here. It won't improve the sound quality at all. It will just turn the MP3 into a larger audio file.
    44.1/16 bit resolution enables you to have a much better sounding file than MP3 formats, but not by going at it this way.
    No offense to you if you know all of this already. I am assuming that you may not know this - because if you did you would also likely know how to convert an audio file.
    Cheers

  • How do I save an mp3 attachment in my email on my ipad air

    How do I save an mp3 attachment in my email on my ipad air to my music files? 

    From Mail, you cannot. You must sync music to your Music app through iTunes. Though there are other options on what you can do with it if other mp3 registered apps are installed on your iPad.

  • How do I save an MP3 and not play it?

    hello
    I pay for a suscription Podcast service.  When I use my PB to visit the site I login and navigate to the podcast section. If I click on a podcast it only want to play the mp3.  even if I press and hold on the link I get no option to SAVE the mp3, only wants to play it.  and even I chose to play/stream the mp3 I still have no option to save the file.
    the kicker is that I am able to do this on my TORCH. save an MP3 without playing it.
    is there a setting or command I am missing.?  because I would prefer to save the mp3's and then play at my leisure  rather than being forced to only stream the file. 
    thank you

  • How to Save to MP3 - Strange

    I opened an MP3 file in Soundtrack Pro. Saved it as an Audio File Project, edited it and now want to save it back to MP3. Unfortunately, the Export item is greyed out in the menu.
    I can choose Save As, and save as a .WAV etc. but why not to an MP3?
    Running Soundtrack Pro 3.
    Thanks

    I'm confused.
    The documentation for Soundtrack Pro 3 says I can export as an MP3. Here is a copy of the manual:
    To export a master mix as an MP3 file
    Choose File > Export (or press Command-E).
    The Export dialog appears.
    If you want, choose an export preset from the Preset pop-up menu.
    For more information, see “Using Export Presets.”
    Choose Master Mix from the Exported Items pop-up menu.
    Choose MP3 File from the File Type pop-up menu.
    The bottom portion of the Export dialog displays the MP3 export options. Because Soundtrack Pro can tap the power of Compressor as a background process, these export options are identical to the corresponding options in the Compressor application.
    Specify additional MP3 export options.
    For more information, see “About MP3 Export Options.”
    If you like, use the After Export pop-up menu to choose a post-export action.
    For more information, see “Using Post-Export Actions.”
    Enter a name for the exported file, then navigate to the location where you want to save the file.
    Click Export.
    I have opened this is the multi track view. It's in WAV and is edited and ready to export - but the export feature is greyed out.
    Any ideas?

  • How to simply trim/cut MP3s and save as MP3?

    "QT can trim mp3 files but when they are then saved they are put inside a QT .mov file wrapper."
    Is it possible to get rid of this ".mov-wrapper" so I can simply SAVE an edited MP3 as MP3 without re-encoding it?

    Quicktime is not re-encoding the mp3 but rather is saving the encoded file inside the .mov wrapper. You should notice that the save is almost instantaneous and you would never see that if any kind of encoding were occuring. Encoding is time intensive.
    Actually, Quicktime does not "Save" anything in its original file structure unless that file structure was .mov. It creates new material in non-mov format only by "Exporting" it
    You might want to take a look at Audacity, a freeware sound utility that can be extended to encode mp3 files:Audacity

    How can I save a free mp3 file to my iPad without using a computer to do so?

    You can use Dropbox or some similar cloud storage service.  It will also play from within Dropbox, but I don't believe there's a way to get it to iTunes without a computer.

    iTunes can still convert to MP3, but the procedure has changed slightly due to the elimination of the Advanced menu in iTunes 11.  Here are the updated instructions:

  • Save streamed MP3 file?

    Our app includes a music player which streams MP3s from a server. We would like to be able to stream the MP3, and save it to a cache on disk once it has fully downloaded.
    I am using the load() method of the Sound class to stream the MP3 so that playback can begin before the file is fully downloaded. I can listen for the Event.COMPLETE event to indicate that the MP3 has finished downloading, but the Sound class offers no way to access the original file and save it to disk (the extract() method returns uncompressed sound data which is much too large to write to the disk).
    Is there any method to download an MP3 file that will allow us to stream the MP3 file as it is downloading, and save it to disk when the download is complete, without downloading it twice?

    Unless you can find an MP3 encoding library that could take the extract() data and convert it back with minimal effort, I think your only option is to save the mp3 using the File and FileStream classes. One thing you could try is to use a File object to download the file, and while it is downloading, you have the sound object play the data contents of the File object downloading the mp3. I just tried a quick test locally and it worked on my desktop. You will have to try it from an actual server to know how well it can work in that environment, but it is at least worth a shot.
    import flash.filesystem.File;
    import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
    import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("gravity.mp3");
    file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressEvent);
    file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
    file.load();
    var sound:Sound;
    function onProgressEvent(e:ProgressEvent):void {
      if (sound == null) {
      file.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressEvent);
      sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(file.url))
      sound.play();
    function onFileLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
      file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
      var saveFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("gravity2.mp3");
      var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
      fs.open(saveFile, FileMode.WRITE);
      fs.writeBytes(file.data, 0, file.data.length);
      fs.close();
    What this code is doing is creating a File object with, in this case, a path to an MP3 in the same folder as the test FLA I created. This would be a path to your server stored MP3. Then you setup the event listeners for progress and complete. I used progress to know that the file had actually started to be downloaded to then trigger the initialization of my Sound object. Depending on someones network connection and the size of the MP3, it could be a good idea to use progress to know that the file has gotten X percentage done before trying to play the file.
    For testing purposes in my progress event, I just checked to see if the Sound object had been initialized yet, and if it hadn't then set sound equal to a new Sound object with the File.url property for the URLRequest() and then told it to play.
    Once the File object dispatched the complete event to indicate that the download finished, I created a new File object for the purpose of saving it to the filesystem using the FileStream class. Using FileStream to save the file allows for no user interaction to save the MP3.
    There may be better ways to handle my method, but I can't think of any at the moment. As far as I know, the second File object, which I named "saveFile", is required in order to actually save the downloaded MP3 object because Im not too familiar with File manipulation. The only downside I can think of is that you have a copy of the MP3 is memory and would need to null out the File object that loaded the MP3 to free up memory.
