Convert mp3 to Audio CD or .cda

Hi,
I have MP3 files and I'm trying to burn a disc as and audio cd format (.cda)or something that will work on my regular cd player.
I'm new with Itunes and I'm do not know how to do it? Before I have this new MAC I did it with NERO burner just selecting the audio cd option.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this matter.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using iTunes 8, create a playlist of the songs you want to burn. Click on the playlist to open/highlight it and insert a blank disc, Choose "Burn Disc", the button is down in the right hand corner. A dialogue box will open with you various burn options, choose "Audio CD"

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.

Converting mp3 audio to txt for Captivate 4 project

Hi,
I'm working on a Captivate 4 project for which audio was recorded as an mp3 file. The audio consists of talking points for a training session. Instead of editing and splicing this large file, I was hoping to convert it to a txt file, that I could then add as slide notes and use the text-to-speech converter in Captivate 4. Does anyone know of a tool that converts mp3 files into txt files?
Thanks.

Hi there
I believe Adobe Soundbooth has that capability. You might also look at Dragon Naturally Speaking as well. I'm unaware of any free tools that will do it.
Cheers... Rick

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.

Convert mp3 to 5.1 surround sound?

i have a xfi and im attempting to convert a mp3 to 5.1 surround sound. When i got to do it, it says failure file conversion not supported. Am i doing something wrong or can it not be done? it only lets me convert mp3s to 2 channel.

http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=2563
For to get mp3 saved as multichannel audio, you need to record while playing the mp3 file using Creative Media Source (play mp3 file w/ another software, on Media Source set the recording format to "WAV multichannel" and recording source to "What U Hear". You also need to set the CMSS 3D by the instructions behind the above link).

Converting MP3 to WMA

I have a new phone and it only plays WMA audio files. I cannot seem to find a converter that will convert MP3 to WMA. It seems like all the converters I find for macs do every other conversion but that one.

Hi Makemusic,
The only app out there for Windows media conversion so far as I know are the products offered by Flip4Mac. Specifically, the product you would be most likely interested in is the WMV Studio. It should easily accomplish your exporting needs. However, it comes with a $50 price tag. Good Luck!

Convert mp3 to Wav?

Hi, i'm looking for a software that would allow me to convert mp3 to wav files. I have to upload files but the source only accepts wav files and I can't get itunes to export to wav format so your help would be much appreciated.

I've used EasyWMA to convert audio formats before, and it may be able to do what you want. There is a limited free trial available:

You can also try searching versiontracker.com or macupdate.com with the file types to see if there is other conversion software available.

How can I convert MP3 to AWB or AMR format

How can I convert MP3 to AWB, AMR format?

Because I faced the same issue today and although the Nokia Multimedia Converter was last updated in the year 2003, it did the trick for me. Instead of giving the setup.exe your Nokia Account, go back one step, and use this to ‘register’ that product.
In that converter, as audio, select AMR Wideband (WB AMR) which creates .awb files. Those have a sampling rate of 16 000 Hz which is great for HD-Voice like audio books. Actually for voice-only media, I went for a bit-rate of just 12.2 kbps, still great as explained by Wikipedia. With that bit-rate only go for standard AMR if your phone does not support the wideband variant, because there is not difference in size.

How do i convert to acc audio files

How do i convert to acc audio files

Hello Red Teddy,
The following article contains steps for converting content from one format to another.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
Cheers,
Allen

Convert AIFF-C audio to midi

I'm looking for a way to convert from AIFF-C format to midi on my Mac, and to use with a music program.
I can import the AIFF-C file into GarageBand, but can't seem to export it in midi format, which surprised me -- is this not supported?
Then I wondered if QuickTime could help -- but can't find a way ... anyone else?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Hmmmm ... yes, I agree. In my case I have a recording of a multi-piece band backing up 4 vocalists, and want to tease-out the vocal parts. Hard to separate all the instrumental and vocal "voicings"! Now, if I was able to get a good piece of the conversion done through software, I could possibly fill in the gaps through listening carefully ...
I did a bit of research, and see that there are a number of software products out there that claim to convert audio to midi, but I also see that reviewers report mixed results (as you've indicated in your reply). Does anyone have any experience with the following, or any others?:
- http://www.widisoft.com/english/download.html
- http://www.bestshareware.net/download/widi-recognition-system-pro.htm
- http://www.computing.net/answers/mac/aiff-to-midi/2549.html

- http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/mp3-to-midi-converter.html
- http://www.topshareware.com/mp3-to-midi-converter/downloads/1.htm
... and then I just found this one: http://convert.software.informer.com/download-convert-aiff-to-midi-mac/
If you have any thoughts about any of the above, or other techniques or software that would do the job, I'm all ears!
Thanks!

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.

Convert mp3 wav

How do I convert an mp3 file to wav in labview? Using active X with another program, or whatever. Anyone have any examples made?
Why can't NI just include sound vi's that use mp3 just as it does wav? Wav is impractical.
Thx.

Wave isn't impractical. Most compressed audio formats are lossy. The sound is good enough for the human ear, but might not be appropriate for the application.
MP3 is a licensed format and to use it NI would probably have to pay the owners (Fraunhofer, I think) quite a lot of money.
I don't know if you'll find any exposed ActiveX interface for converting mp3 to wave. The more likely possibilities are a DLL or a .Net class. I would try searching Google for DLLs providing this functionality and then see if you can call them in LV.
Try to take over the world!

Itunes 5.1 won't burn mp3 to audio cd

Since upgrading to 5.1 I can't burn audio cd's from mp3 files anymore. Not just in itunes, but in RecordNow as well. All my music in itunes are mp3's and it was never a problem before to burn them into an audio file. In RecordNow I can still make data cd's and burn directly from cd to cd, but it also doesn't let me burn from mp3 to audio anymore. It seems that itunes 5.1 placed something in the registry that blocks converting mp3 to .wav. Does anyone know anything about this? The 5.1 upgrade has made my computer useless and Apple isn't saying anything about this at all.

This makes me believe that the latest upgrade created a serious conflict in my registry and I'm wondering if apple is doing anything to fix it.
have you submitted any CD diagnostics to Apple yet, Michael?
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
have you been able to find any troubleshooting information on the topic at the RecordNow-related websites? (googles on combinations of "RecordNow", "itunes" and "error" might pick up some independent troubleshooting, too.)
if you find any useful references, would you mind reporting back with links for us? if it really is a conflict between your version of RecordNow and itunes 5.0.x, other people will presumably be in your situation, and any information you turn up could be helpful for them too.
love, b

Need to convert MP3 in URL to play it in myspace

Hello
Help ! I need to convert MP3 into URL? (I have a flashfetish player on Myspace they only read url for a dj mix)
which sites or witch converter?
Hope to speak soon !

there is no such thing as "converting an mp3 to a URL." a URL is a pointer to where the file resides online. iow, you have to "upload" the mp3 somewhere (typically a web site that you own), and then use that URL to point to the file.
for example this:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/BBPages/History/BBMp3s/01Real%20World.mp3
points to a file located on the bulletsandbones web site
