Changing mp3s to CBR doesn't remove skipping?

I've had two CDs recently converted to mp3s give me trouble when played on my iPod. In both cases, the songs would play part way through and then skip to the next song. Research here and in other forums suggested I create Constant Bit Rate mp3s to avoid placing a processing load on the iPod's relatively small "brain" (whereas most mp3s are Variable Bit Rate and the device playing them has to follow that variability during playback).
This worked great on CD of blues music. However, it's not working with the CD of classical guitar. The CBR mp3s in that second case will skip during the song or even not play at all and skip to the next song. I've tried one suggestion of looking at the file in iTunes and making sure the beginning/end were defined as the actual full length of the song. No luck. Any tips?

Try converting that particular album as AAC instead of MP3. I've had some songs give problems in one format and work in the other -- I'm guessing it is an obscure coding error that they haven't fixed.

  • Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

    Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

    The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
    You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
    Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
    This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download).  To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu.  Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
    You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
    This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

  • Cmd-Opt-V pastes effects but doesn't remove those there-Why not?

    Hi
    Been going thru some lessons, what fun, how helpful learning shortcuts and techniques I haven't employed up to now. Anywho...
    When I copy a clip (intending to paste them to another clip) and then press Cmd-Opt-V, it pastes effects from the copied clip but doesn't remove those to the targeted clip. Why not?
    best
    elmer

    That is the way the application works.
    To my mind, that is a better choice than would be deleting the existing effects.
    On the other hand, it might be useful to have a "remove effects" command - though I would not use it very often.
    You can use the feedback to request/suggest features. I don't think that they will change this, as it is bound to annoy at least as many people as it pleases.

  • Changing Mp3 Tags

    Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out...
    im in the process of going through all my songs and changing the mp3 tags... To do this im going into the acual folder where the file is, right clicking>prop>summary>advanced and then changing to the artist and title and genre i want displayed...
    I then deleted my entire libary in itunes, and proceeded to readd the songs i just changed. And Itunes opens, but doesnt add them, nor does it play... however i can open the files in other programs like windows media player and everything works perfect, including the correct information i put in...
    How come itunes wont play these files now, however files i didnt touch still work no worries??????
    Any idea?
    i have the latest version of itunes aswell...

    Sounds ike the MP3 header info somehow got changed to where ituens doesn't like it. iTunes is a LOT fussier about the header info than other programs.
    You can try fixing it with mp3 validator
    http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
    A more lengthy explanation from Trevin Chow:
    http://trevinchow.com/blog/tag/mp3-tag-validator/
    iTunes (and pretty much every player I've used) works best with v2.3 tags - it's the defacto standard.
    When I rip CDs using ituens, the first thing I do is set the ID3 tag to none (to get rid of the v2.2 tag that itunes uses by default) then I change it to v2.3 tags.
    right click > convert ID3 tags

  • HT201263 i cant restore my phone, I keep getting a message to turn off find my iphone, cant get into it b/c my daughter change the password and doesn't remember the password

    help, i need to restore my phone, I keep getting an error to turn off find my iphone,  I can't get into the phone b/c my daughter change the password and doesn't remember what she changed it to.

    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.                        
    Note:   If you have an iOS device, you can also remove your device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below to remove a device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.                            
                               Turn off the device.                       
                               Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).                                                      If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.                       
                               Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete (x) button next to the device.                                                      If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. To make sure your device doesn’t reappear, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above to remove an iOS device or Mac), or if you have an iOS device, you can erase it, then remove it (follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device you no longer have).                          

  • Error in sharepoint 2010 designer while saving:"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "

    Hi, 
    I am doing development  in sharepoint 2010 and facing this very weird problem.
    If I create a site page with the sharepoint look and feel for that site and try to save the site page,i am getting this error:**"Content in the embedded form may be changed by the the server to remove unsafe content.Do you want to reload your page to see
    the results of the save? "** and when i say reload,the server removes some parts of my page, e.g onclick event of html,asp buttons.
    This error just comes for any sharepoint site page,e.g i took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of taht page,and when i try to save this error again comes up.
    However,if i create a simple aspx page with only htmltags like head body,then thr is no problem ,everything works great. But sharepoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
    has anybody seen this earlier,what could be the reason for this?
    Thanks

    I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript.  I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages.  Can anyone verify this?
    The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
    If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
    If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

  • Changed itunes apple password. iCloud asked later to put in iCloud password. Used changed apple password iCloud doesn't accept it. Tied old iCloud password does not accept that either. Don't know what to do

    Changed itunes apple password. iCloud asked later to put in iCloud password. Used changed apple password iCloud doesn't accept it. Tied old iCloud password does not accept that either. Don't know what to do

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Changing mp3 tags in iTunes

    Hi all.
    I'm changing mp3 tags, adding album covers, etc through Get Info directly in iРhone/Music. I can't see changes in my iPhone music library sometimes. So tags and covers in iTunes differ from the tags in iPhone player.
    I tried to reboot the phone, change tag or add cover one more time. It's still not the same.
    Help me, please.
    iTunes 10.6.1.7

    It seems that sometimes when i play a group of songs it will go through and add information to them on its own without prompting me that i do not want there. I have a very clean list of songs as to reduce the number of duplicate artists/albums in my list.
    actually, if the songs are in the MP3 format, it's plausible that your WMP is doing this silently in the background. for more information on that possibility (and troubleshooting advice if that's what is afoot here), see the following post:

  • Edit (modify or change) MP3 tag with iTunes

    Hi All!
    Someone knows how can i change, modify or edit the mp3 tag with iTunes 6? Is it possible?
    If it isn't possible, do you know some plug-in for iTunes (or external program) that allow me to change mp3 tag of a file(s)?
    tnx a lot

    right-click on the entry in iTunes and select "Get Info". The "Summary" tab tells you a little about the file, while the other tabs (Info, Options, etc.) let you edit ID3 tags supported and used by iTunes.

  • Function to change mp3 and frame (video)

    I am currently working on a music site that has a custom built mp3 player, where the action script calls to an external xml. It works beautifully. It is all on one frame.... in the background of the music player is edited video that I manipulate in final cut. I have next  and pre buttons that call the xml. What I am trying to do is change the video when the song is changed. Im not sure if I call a fuction to the button next frame + or - 1 or if I can call the video to the xml. I am a graphic designer learning code and am not sure how to tackle this. This site is my senior project..Please help!!!

    remove the video code from that movieclip, assign that movieclip an instance name (eg, flv) and use:
