CD for car MP3

I realized that at least half of my music library is saved as MP3 and the other half (that imported from my old CDs collection) is M4a.
When I burn the CDs in order to listen in the car unfourtunately the m4a is not recognized/played by the car.
I tried to copy the all the files from the CD in another music library after checking "mp3" in the import window. However after the import is complete I realized that Mp3 remained mp3 and m4a remained m4a...
PLEASE I need a simple (and possible batch-mode not for each individual file) way to transfer all my selected files onto a CD, all in MP3 format.

The iTunes capability to burn an mp3 CD only works on files that are already in mp3 format. It does not do any on-the-fly conversions.
If you want to convert M4As to MP3s: First go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing, and set your imprt preference to mp3 at your preferred bitrate. Then, in your iTunes library, find the song(s) that you want to convert. Highlight it/them, right-click, and select "Convert selection to mp3." In your library, make sure Kind is showing (View > Options if you need to adjust) and you will see which are the MP3s. You can put a set of those in a playlist and burn your mp3 CD.

  • Third party tool for burning MP3 CDs?

    Hi,
    Are there any third party tools for burning MP3 CDs from an iTunes library?
    The iTunes functionality is not sufficient for me for two reasons:
    *) I have ALAC files in my library and iTunes won't convert them for putting them on the CD. I know I can convert them in iTunes, but I am looking for a more elegant solution.
    *) iTunes seems to put all files in the root of the CD. My car stereo does not use MP3 tags but subdirectories to recognize albums, so I need a directory for every album.
    Any hints are appreciated!
    Thanks, Robert

    Easily done. See iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD. Basically, if you sort the playlist by album, iTunes will burn the MP3 CD with album folders.
    Thanks, that solves the second problem, which was the more pressing anyway.
    Do you maybe also have an idea how to get rid of the number in front of the album title in the directory name?
    Cheers, Robert

  • ITunes MP3 discs won't play in car MP3 stereo

    Hi there...
    I burned some MP3 discs, in MP3 disc format, on iTunes that I play on my car MP3 stereo player, and the car MP3 player won't recognize the disc or play just one or two songs on the disc. I'm burning them on CD-Rs. Furthermore, my old MP3 discs I burned on iTunes 3 works FINE on my car stereo, it's just discs burned with the recent versions. Does iTunes convert MP3s in a different way now? Any ideas as to what I can do?
    Also, mp3s I create on itunes are not recognized properly on my Motorola cell phone as mp3s... they call them "QP3"s; mp3s converted on a PC are still recognized as iTunes. Any ideas as to why that's happening? Whew, that's a lot. Hope someone can help and thanks for your time...

    twangus, your problem could be (let me stress that word could) the way iTunes is burning the disc and your car CD player doesn't like it.
    iTunes burns dual platform MP3 CDs: ISO 9660 (for Windows) and HFS+ Extended (for Mac OS X). It could be that your player doesn't like these discs. To test this you should burn your MP3 CD with third-party burning software that allows you to specify what format to burn the disc in. Either exclusively ISO 9660 or HFS+ Extended.
    Two burning apps that will let you do this on a trial basis are Dragon Burn and Disc Blaze. Roxio's Toast will also allow you to choose the target platform for the disc but it has no trial version.
    Try one of these apps and let us know your results.

  • How do i change default program for opening mp3 files

    Hi all, i would like to change the default program for opening MP3 files, it is currently iTunes, i would like it to be MPlayerX or QuickTimePlayer, ii am sure it is easy once i know where to look, it is easy in Windose, is has just got to be easier with my Apple
    Tim

    Tim,
    Right click on one of your MP3 files and select "get info".  In the get info screen you can select the default program to open the file.  Then select Change All..  to make it the default for all MP3s.

  • Looking for a MP3 player for audiobo

    I am looking for an mp3 player that meets these requirements. Creative Labs lists like 50 mp3 plays and no easy way to compare features. So does anyone know if anyone sells anything with these features:?- bookmarking: where I can 'save' a place in a audiobook and go listen to other stuff and come back to where I left off. The 'resume' feature on some devices is not adaquete because it assumes I don't want to listen to anything else. Other devices require me to search through hours of a book to find where I left off. I need something that let's me mark a place and return when I want. - FM feature: because sometimes I want to listen to the radio and not my downloaded music or books!?- flash based: because it's lighter weight, no hard dri've to break (gb flash or upgradable flash card insert is fine)?- removable regular batteries: so that if the batteries go bad, i can get new ones and not ship it off to be opened by someone else?that's it!? is that so hard?!
    Please let me know
    !!! [email protected]????

    portrower8,?Do a search at the top of the page for audiobooks. They have been discussed frequently.?First, you are asking for a flash player, so that limits your choices. For audiobooks that you download from NetLibrary or Overdri've, I would only use one?WITHOUT ?PlaysforSure subscription firmware. That way, the electronic library books?never expire, until you delete them yourself.?I prefer to keep my audiobooks separate from my music. I love the Zen Nano plus GB or the 52MB. These days you can buy the GB for $65-70 from Amazon or Creative. These players can hold four or fi've?audiobooks. Granted they don't have bookmarking as such, but you just?do a pause and?turn it off and the?player starts up where you left off.?Just remember if you buy a bigger flash player with subscription ability for your music, any electronic library audiobook will expire?after 2 days. Are planning on just buying all your audiobooks? Have you checked into the new Zen V and?Zen V plus to use for your music??Best wishes,luvmyrescuedogs

  • Icon previews wont show for some mp3 files

    For some reason I have about 30 albums (out of around 1000...which isn't too bad of a ratio) that wont show the album art for the icon preview. Instead it shows an image of an old iTunes logo, I can't remember which version of iTunes, but it's the version that has a green note on top of the disc. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

    Do you have an album specified for the mp3 song. I've noticed that if I only have a couple of songs for an artist and none has the album specified, they don't always show up. If I add the album, they will sync the next time. Hope this helps.

  • Whats the best solution for playing mp3?

    I looked around and there seem to be some solutions to play mp3 (javazoom, quicktime). What do you recommend? What are some disadvantages? Is there a good tutorial to a good class that enables playing mp3 somewhere (I didnt find one) ?
    thanx

    MP3 codecs have been (temporarily?) removed from the JMF because of the recent dust-up over MP3 patent "enforcement" hints from the patent holders. The only JMF implementation that is not so encumbered is the version for Windows, which actually uses the *ahem* "native" Windows codecs for decoding.
    For Sun this makes a somewhat reasonable approach as the patent holders (can't remember who "they" are, but I believe it's a German university spin-off - don't take my word for it, though) can, at their discrection, charge royalty fees on a very ad hoc basis.
    Micro$oft, of course, is the proverbial 800-pound gorilla and one could possibly expect them to get more preferential treatment than a "relative" financial light-weight like Sun.
    Personally, for playing MP3s, though, I use XMMS. ;D

    Now, why we don't need to register the events when we use CL_GUI_ALV_GRID???
    That's not true. Some of the events indeed don't require any registration but some of them do.
    I.e for events
    data_changed
    data_changed_finished
    you need register_edit_event
    for
    ONF4
    you need register_f4_for_fields
    why?
    I think those most frequently used events are already registered by system, so you will only need to set handlers for them. For those less often used you need to activate them first by means of corresponding register method, then you can set a handler for it. I think the reason behind it is not to overload the system. During runtime when the event is raised the system simply checks "event" table which holds handlers set for this event. It then calls corresponding handler method. By not registering certain event I think the system simply skips this check (doesn't look at "event" table), thereby improves the performance.
    Imagine you don't handle edit event at all, although your ALV is editable. System therefore should not be interested in querying  "event" table each time there is a change made in grid. As I said, other events might be worth to check as maybe SAP predicts developer will use them often.
    All in all it is specific to certain GUI control (EnjoSAP control) which is all documented. So anytime you want to use particular control, eventually you will have to check the manual to see if given event needs to be registered first.
    Regards
    Marcin

  • Please Help - I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features

    Hi, I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features:
    1) Either a 30GB or more HDD, OR a sd OR a micro SD card slot for a 2GB card. (Note, I can buy an adapter so my sd cards fit into a compact flash slot. However, I did look at the Zen Vision M but I didn't see how to delete tracks from?my playlists.)
    2) I need to be able to delete tracks in my playlists that I create in Windows Media Player (.wpl or .m3u format).
    3) I need to be able to copy these updated playlists back to my pc, either with the usb cable or SD / microSD card.
    Which products meet my needs? I li've in California, USA.
    Thanks,
    Rick

  • Downloading Album Covers from iTunes for regular MP3's?

    Hi there,
    I have never had an iTunes account, and wanted to organise my music files (specifically Album Covers for my mp3's) if i opened an iTunes account would I be able to download the album covers for my music so that they would be displayed on my iPod?

    If you have a store account, iTunes should be able to get album art from the store, provided that;
    The store sells the album
    The artist and album name are exactly as they appear in the store.

  • Savings for Creative Mp3 Player

    BestBuy is having a 25% off all creative mp3 player sale and I was looking at the Zen Micro Photo. I want an mp3 player that can hold alot of songs that I can run with, but I found out mini-hard dri'ves and regular ones arn't suitable for running...So I am going to stick with a large capacity player with alot of features instead of a flash player but I just can't choose. Plz leave suggestions if you were in my place shopping for an mp3 player.

    bosoxxrwd,
    If you're planning to do exercise while using a player. I would suggest going after a flash based player like the Zen Nano Plus, Zen Nano and MuVo series instead of microdri've or harddisk based player.
