Conversion of Mpeg4 audio files into mp3

I recently purchased some songs with the aim to include them in a movie I'm currently editing re my vacations.
The edit software I'm using (Magix video de luxe 2007) doesn't allow to include these songs. I tried to convert the items into mp3 (using iTunes features) but the answer was that the item couldn't be converted as it itìs protected. I unsuccessfully tried to find a solution to my problem in the iTunes sites. It seems impossible to contact iTunes to get an answer. It seems unfare to allow purchase of an item when this can be used only to be listened to! Is there somebody who can help me?
Thank you.

You can't do anything with downloaded apple itunes tracks apart from play them. If the music you need is that important download them as Mp3's. A much more flexible format.
The French government have tried to make Apple make it's music more flexible but Apple would rather stop selling tracks to France than give up their code.
What peeves me is here in the UK we pay 99p($1.47) for each track while in the US it is just 99c. I still prefer to buy CD's, at least I can re-sell them on ebay and recoup some of my outlay and I can do anything with the tracks. On itunes you get nothing for your money.

    How do you convert the audio from a mpeg4 video file to mp3 format?

    Probably the easiest way to do this is to download a free media convertor. Most will be able to convert video into audio files.

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

  • Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

    I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

    Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

  • Importing Quicktime Audio File into itunes

    I have a couple quicktime audio files that I'm trying to import into my itunes library. When I try to simply drag them into my itunes library it will not accept them.
    Also I tried using the import control from the itunes window, but when I choose the the quicktime file to import it also will not go into my library. These files where orginally windows media files inwhich I converted over using the "flip4mac" program to convert the windows media files to quicktime files, but neither file type will import into itunes.
    These files were simply voice recordings from a digital recorder, how do I get these audio files into my itunes library?? ... Thanks

    Ya, looks like the file is still a real WMA file and all that application did was give your QT the ability to play WMA files perhaps? I am not familiar with that one. You need to locate a WMA to MP3 file converter. Some that come to mind are MediaMonkey, EasyWMA, and there are many others. Those first two might both be shareware programs and I don't have any first hand experience with them. I really haven't had the need to do this type of conversion (yet) so haven't looked into the various applications. Perhaps someone reading this can chime in if they know any free ones that work.
    In the meantime, hit up versiontracker.com or download.com and do a search and see what you find. But the root cause of your problem is that the file is still in the wrong format for iTunes and iPod use.

  • How do I import .amr audio files into PP CC 2014.2

    In this support document it seems to suggest that this version of PP supports importing amr files: Installed codecs in Adobe Media EncoderHowever it doesn't work on my copy of PP. Is there some setting I need to change, or do I need to convert all my amr files into mp3 or something?

    Not really,
    but I am happy to report that I found the solution:
    AVOID Logic's "Audio>Import Audio File..." window, if you need to import 54 tracks.
    Make sure you have enough Audio Tracks available in Logic's arrange window.
    Select Audio Track 1 in Logic.
    Highlight (select all) tracks) from your source DVD or disk.
    Drag all of them to Audio track 1 in Logic and the position you determined in transport.
    Beautiful.
    Why don't we get this within the Logic application?
    Thanks everyone.

  • It's 2013 and I want to convert AIFF audio files to MP3s

    It’s 2013 and I want to convert .AIFF audio files to .MP3 files on my Mac.
    I created some sound files as .MOVs for a band’s website but that format doesn’t work for some Windows OS users who refuse to fetch a QuickTime plugin for their Explorer or Firefox internet browser…("don’t make them think; it either works or it doesn’t.")
    I have been told that MP3 audio files are still the most common audio files on the web and I want the band’s music to be in the most-accessible format.
    Thanks,
    Ron
    Also, this is my first Apple Support question and I would appreciate being pointed to the most appropriate forum(s).

    Thanks, Joe, that was very useful!
    For other people with my problem I should add some of the missing puzzle pieces —
    1) A while ago I loaded the songs from the band’s CD onto a previous, now dead, Mac laptop (with a previous Mac OS) and used QuickTime 7 to create down-sampled (and smaller) .mov files. Then I deleted the original .aif files from that computer.
    2) Now (back to the present) I wanted the .aif audio files on my new computer to convert them, but the computer doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. My solution was to use my partner’s iMac.
    3) I inserted the CD into the iMac’s drive, clicked "no" to iTunes’ dialog asking if I wanted to import them, created a folder on the desktop, then opened the CD folder on the desktop and copied the songs into the newly-created folder.
    4) I copied the new .aif files to a thumbdrive then deleted the .aifs from the iMac.
    5) I put the copied thumbdrive .aif songs onto my MacBook Pro Retina (where I had changed iTunes Preferences to MP3) then I 'dropped' the sound file icons onto the iTunes icon in the dock.
    5) In iTunes I right-clicked on the songs and chose "Create MP3 Version".
    6) Next, I right-clicked on the MP3s in iTunes and chose "Show in Finder". This opened another folder (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/), revealing the MP3s.
    7) I created duplicates of the MP3s and moved them to my band's media folder (and will put them on the website after renaming them and editing their webpage for the new audio filenames).
    8) Finally, I will delete the .aif and .mp3 songs from my iTunes, using iTunes' interface to ensure it doesn’t get confused.
    Sheesh. but I’m still happy to not have a CD/DVD drive on my MacBook Pro. I very rarely use CDs and a drive on the laptop would add bulk and weight while being mostly useless.

  • HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

    Hi,
    How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
    With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
    Thanks!

    Hello ingiorgio
    You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

  • Segment audio file into chapters

    I hope this will make sense - my best chance of getting the help I need is to describe what I'm trying to do:
    I work with a high school marching band. I've recorded the band playing the music we'll be performing in our show. I plan to load the recording onto an iPod and play the music over speakers  while my students learn their marching drill to the song.  What I need to be able to do is  segment the recording into a bunch of attached "chapters," so I can either start the recording at the beginning and play straight through, OR  easily start at specific spots in the music (like a chapter in a book).
    I'd appreciate any suggestions the community may have about how to accomplish what I envision.
    TIA

  • Call external audio file into timeline

    I'm creating training programs that will be translated into
    many languages. I create the text in external XML files, and then I
    use dynamic text frames to call in the text. The translators need
    only translate the XML Files and Flash is automatically updated.
    I would like to find a way where I can keep the audio files
    external to Flash, and have Flash call them. This way, once the
    translators have re-narrated the files in each language, I won't
    have to open each Flash movie and manually import the audio files.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!

    When you import the MOV file, Audition will split it into a video stream and an associated audio file.  You can drag the audio file into a session without the video stream.

  • Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

    Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

    Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
    Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
    About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
    I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
    About your problem - best solution seems like that:
    capture sound
    put it into processor
    set format to GSM
    transmit
    so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
    If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.
