Convert mp3 from 48 to 44.1

Hi all --
Does anyone know a reliable way to convert mp3 audio from 48 to 44.1?
I record in 96 in Logic. When I exported to mp3 it downsampled to 48. I can't find anywhere to set it to 44.1.......
Thanks for your help!!

iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 - including information about different formats and discussion about compression.

Pretty Lights gives entire discography away for free. Itunes charges 10$ an album. Itunes won't convert mp3 from artists site. Seems unfair man. How do I get it to accept this format?

http://www.prettylightsmusic.com is the website. I would appreciate step by step (think Kindergarten) instructions if this is at all possible.

When you extract from a Zip file, you generally see one or more files, and then you can deal with them exactly as you would any file (in this case, an MP3). That is how Zip works.
The one I tried from the Pretty Lights website had only a single MP3 in it, which is a little unusual, but that is how it came. Also, the MP3 has a sample rate of 48 kHz instead of the normal 44.1 kHz, which sometimes causes compatibility problems in iTunes.
But, it is up to you. As you noted, you also have the option of purchasing from the iTunes Store.

Stop Mp3 from converting to .mov

How can i stop my mp3 from being to a .mov when I put it iWeb. Many people don't have Quick time on their PC and can't view QT files.
Thanks!
Pat

Thanks again for the information, but I am still having trouble making this work. I'm not super tech savvy, so I need a little more information. I put the HTLM code listed on this page http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Players/HTML5-Audio.html into an HTML widget on iWeb. Not sure what to do next, I then pasted my audio file in to the same widget box, but all I see is a play button in a black box that says, "loading". It never stops saying loading. I tried other things as well, but the MP3 file won't play. How do I get the HTML code to run my audio file? I have looked through out the links you gave me, but I'm not picking up on to make it work.
Thanks,
Pat

I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

Python / Audio Conversion - I want to convert mp3 to wav

Hi, Ive dabbled very little in actual coding, wrote one python app that these forums really helped me make, and Ive programmed in VBScript and SQL Server, but all academic, nothing for my own uses. I need a program to convert mp3's to .wav's that can then be burned in 'Recorder' to burn the audio disc. I know there are many scripts like this floating around, but I want to do my own, problem is, im lost. I seem to have 2 main problems, getting the file names into a list or tuple, and then actually running the commands to convert using a for loop using lame or mpg321.
this bash script uses mpg321 and sox,
#!/bin/bash
# allmp3wav
for i in *.mp3; do
echo "$i"
tgt=$(echo "$i" | sed -e "s/mp3/wav/")
mpg123 -b 10000 -s -r 44100 "$i" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - /var/cdrom/"$tgt"
done
This works fine and I understand the code. Its saying for every file that ends in .mp3, run these commands, which do the coding. The only problem is, this doesnt work in python, since its not pythong Can someone give me a little bit of help? Dont give me the program, or give me to much info, links would be great.
1 - Need to Get Directory
2 - Loop through all the .mp3 files and add them to an array.
3 - create a sub directory named "wav"
mkdir ~/wav
4 - copy all the mp3's to "wav"
cp ARRAy to wav/
5 - convert all .mp3's to wav
6 - delete the copied mp3's from .wav directory
for .mp3
rm
7 - tell me how many wavs were created.
for .wav
count + 1
That is just a rough flow chart of what I need to do, and as you can see its pretty bare as of now. Also, I imagine to run mpg321 or lame commands, I need some sort of lame or mpg321 module? Ive read the python wiki for for loops and lists and tuples, but I need more info. Thanks, Justin.

Alright that helped alot, its almost working now, I am using Popen wrong still I assume, here is what I got.
import os
import subprocess
here = os.getcwd()
ctr = 0
for file in os.listdir(here):
name, ext = os.path.splitext(file)
if ext == ".mp3":
p = subprocess.Popen("mpg123 -w " + name + ".wav " + name + ext , stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
ctr = ctr + 1
print ctr
That executes, but gives this error,

If i remove the subprocess popen, and just print name + ext and use the counter, it prints out both file name together, and how many mp3's it processed, 2. So i know the program is doing what I want, im just converting wrong. Thanks again.
here is whats in the directory, there is more then mp3's, so I know it is filtering the files properly thanks to your splittext.

Why does Logic Convert MP3 to Aif and store them on Desktop?

Gentlemen please bear with me on this probably elementary question here - (you are dealing with someone who until recently refused to stop using Logic 6 on an old but very stable G4 tower OS 9 because it worked so perfectly and still does)...
I have found that when importing audio files( ie CD tracks or MP3s) from an external hard drive into the audio window (via Control F) , there is some sort of preference which does not simple use the original file but copies it to my desktop into a new fold called "Audio".
In the actual song document, looking at the song path and recording path etc, everything points to my faithful La Cie external hard drive. There is obviously some extra step or song managing process included in Logic 7 which does this and which I have yet to figure out...
Could this be something to do with the Project Manager preferences ( I never use this feature except for Save as Project when backing up a song at the end of the process when it is done and dusted)
Any explanations gratefullly accepted

I'm not sure I can help. Compressed audio files must be converted to work in Logic version prior to 7.2. Otherwise, audio files should remain in their original locations unless you've specified in you project settings to copy external files into your project folder. It gets messy working on a seesion for which there is no project folder created, in my opinion. You might just want to save your new sessions as projects, but don't check the "copy external audio..." box until you're ready to archive. That way, at least your converted mp3s will land in a tidy location.
I partly responded to give this post a bump, becuse I'm not sure I have the answer.

Sound changes when moving mp3 from quicktime to itunes

When I move a mp3 from quicktime to itunes the sound changes. itunes makes it sound a little worse from the original mix. I dont think its the equalizer becuase i tried fooling around with that and tuning it off for a better result.
So the mp3 sounds perfect in quicktime but terrible in itunes whats my problem?

I figured out that if i bring it into itunes as mp4 instead of mp3 it sounds alright.
So you are not moving the MP3 from QT to iTunes as you wrote in your first post. You are converting from AAC to MP3.
i tried to burn it and i think it automatically converts it back to mp3 for the burn
No.
If you have audio CD selected in iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning, it will convert them to an audio CD.
It willnot convert any other time unless you tell it to convert.
is there a way to burn it while maintaining the mp4 quality??
Select Audio CD or Data CD and it will burn an audio file or the MP4 file.

Creative ZEN_How to convert mp3 fil

Hi!
Somebody can please tell me how to convert mp3 files ti wma files for my Creative ZEN.
My old Zev V Plus did it automatically.
Thank u,
bye

"Because wma files take less space than mp3 files. "
That is a myth. For lower bitratrate files, such as 6 kbps or 32 kbps, WMA files will sound a bit better than mp3 files at the same bitrate. Files at such low bitrates are typically lectures and podcasts, and not music. Music files are usually 28 kbps and up. At
those bitrates, there is little quality difference between WMA and MP3 files at the same bitrate. WMA files do take more processor power to decode though, so expect shorter battery life when playing WMA files rather than mp3 files. Furthermore, recompressing files that are already compressed will result in lower sound quality. For example, if you have some mp3 files at 256 kbps and want them on your player at 60 kbps to save space, you should make the 60 kbps mp3 files from the CD, and not from the 256 kbps mp3 files if you want the 60 kbps mp3 files to be the best quality they can be.

ITunes/iPod is set to automatically convert MP3s to QT

My iTunes/iPod is set to automatically convert MP3s to QuickTime, and I don't want it to do that. All I want to do is transfer TRUE MP3 files without the conversion, but I'm not sure where the settings are, and on which device, that's doing the conversion. Using Windows Vista OS and a new iPhone 4.

Edit > Preferences > Devices.
Uncheck the option for "Prevent iDevices from automatically syncing".

Converting mp3 to aiff

How do I convert mp3 files to AIFF? My mp3 audio files in Final Cut Pro have these nasty drop-out/pops. I heard from another forum that the ticket is to convert my mp3s to AIFF - so, once again - How?
thanks in advance.

"Best" depends totally on your usage, so without knowing what you need these files for and what your criteria will be, it's difficult to offer any useful advice.
"CAF" is probably "Core Audio Format". See this developer article for information.

How to convert mp3 to podcast

I want to convert mp3 files, (lectures) as podcasts to play them on the iphone. The iphone just imports them into music and plays them as songs on the iphone. Just changing the Options to podcast, in the info section doesn't change it on the iphone, only in itunes on the mac?

Here is the answer that works well. The instructions may seem long, but it really isn't hard to do once you've tried it.
To make mp3 files into podcasts:
First, in itunes, find the mp3 file(s) in the music section, and hit edit, then delete. It will tell you that
it will remove it from itunes and the iphone, click OK.
Then it will ask you if you want to put the file in the trash or keep the file
in the music folder. Keep the file. This will remove it from itunes, and the iphone, which is what you want.
Second, open up a finder window on the mac. Navigate to the itunes music folder,
which is in machd/users/johnsmith/music/itunes/itunes music. Then open another finder window alongside the one that is showing the itunes music folder. In that finder window, create a unique named new folder on the desktop, such as "movedmusic". Now, go to the itunes music folder and drag the mp3 file over to the "movedmusic" folder and drop it there. Now, the mp3 file is no longer in itunes at all.
Third, go back to itunes main screen, click File, then "add to library". It will open a mini finder window of it's own. Navigate to the "movedmusic" folder you created on your desktop and select the mp3 file, and let it import into itunes.
Don't worry about where itunes puts it. iTunes will put it in "songs", but that is ok. It is still seen as "new" to itunes.
Fourth, go to the "music" at the top left of itunes menu. Find the newly imported mp3 file. Right click and select "get info". Open "options" and change it from "music" to "podcast" and hit OK. Now, you will see it disappear from the main screen in music. Go to podcasts on the left menu, and it will now be in podcasts. But WAIT! There is one more step to do or it won't sync to your iphone. Now go to the iphone on the left hand menu and select it under "devices". Then go to the iphone's "podcasts" tab, and you'll see the mp3 file you just added as a podcast. Make sure you put a check in the checkbox, that will tell itunes to sync your newly added mp3 PODCAST to your iphone. Then go over to File at the top of itunes and select "sync iphone". After the iphone syncs, your mp3 will be on your iphone in the podcast menu, and not in the songs menu!

Can I buy mp3s from itunes ?

First time I used this forum so apologies if already asked. Can I buy mp3s from itunes ?
Fine for my ipod to have mp4a format aac or mp3 etc.. but for my car I use a USB stick which needs to be all mp3 format. Yes I can convert in itunes to mp3 format but that means I end up with two versions on my laptop.
If I just accidentally sync one non-mp3 format file to my memory stick then the car won't play anything on the **** stick !! Annoying.
So unles theres a way of getting mp3 thru itunes I guess its back to amazon for me for mp3 purchases - and then add the folder to itunes. Not ideal
thanks in advance

I didn't mention the Import Settings, since it is in no way relevant to the OP's question. Despite your recommendation to marktko, I can see absolutely no reason to buy a song from iTunes, if the only intention is to convert it and then delete the original, having possibly paid more for it into the bargain. The conversion process may possibly introduce a reduction in the quality of the file, so why do it if you can buy the format you want and save yourself the trouble of the extra conversion work?
marktko;
I am astounded that you have been won over by Brij011's arguement about paying more, converting, and then deleting the AAC file. Absolutely astounded!
Is there a hidden agenda at work here?

Converting mp3 to m4a(AAC)

If I convert mp3 to m4a(AAC) will the quality of the song be better or the same as a mp3? Does converting it really even do anything?

Well, it makes it so those files won't play on anything but an ipod.
I am in the process of converting 5000+ songs from Apple lossless to mp3. What a pain. I wish I'd ripped them as mp3s to begin with.
Anyway - it is personal preference. Convert a song or two and see if you can tell the difference, is my advice.
