Converting aac files to aiff format in iTunes 8.0

I've always been able to convert files by using the preferences, advanced, import tab on iTunes. With 8.0, I can convert to mp3 format without having to go through preferences, but there is no place to convert an aac (mp4) to an aiff, which is what I need. Any help?

Thanks!! That solves it. I thought I'd been thorough in going through every preference choice. Maybe it's the 3 hours of sleep last night....

Convert .aac files to .mp3 in itunes 11.0

How do I convert files from .aac to .mp3? I've changed my 'import as' settings to .mp3, and when I select a file, and click File->Create New File, all I can select is .aac format.
Thanks.

Janice.
You can convert AAC files to MP3 by using the Advanced > Convert menu. However, you must first go to the Preferences > Advanced menu and change "Import Using AAC Encoder" to "Import using MP3 Encoder". This setting is used for both importing and converting. When you are finished converting, change the Preferences setting back to the encoder you prefer for importing.
You can burn an MP3 CD if your CD player can play that format. You can fit a lot more songs on an MP3 CD than an Audio CD, but not all CD players can play an MP3 CD. Just go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced >Burning and select the type CD you want. Note that songs must first be converted to MP3 format to burn to an MP3 CD. If your songs are in AAC format, iTunes converts them on the fly to AIFF when burning an Audio CD, but cannot burn them to an MP3 CD unless you convert them to MP3 files first.
Hope this helps.

Convert AAC files to MP3 in iTunes?

On my Mac, I can download from the internet in either MP3
or AAC. I can also change MP3 files to AAC. But, can I
change AAC files to MP3? I'm sure Apple had me do this one
time to override some iTunes error, but I can't seem to do
it now. I used this MP3 format for a long time so a lot of
my downloaded songs are in this format. Now I'd like to
change them back to AAC because it says I can't make a CD
from MP3 files. Can I change the format or is there some
way I can make a CD with MP3 files? I think I did it before
on my old computer....I MUST have done it before because so
many songs are in MP3 but it says I can't do it on the new
mac.

How do I convert AAC files and put them on my SD card

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert some of my itunes track unto my sd card and then play them with my zen. ? The problem is I can't figure out how to get zen media explorer to put the converted files on my sd card. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help and information is very much appreciated.

Yes, they do. What they don't answer is "How do I configure <insert random media management application> to convert tracks between different audio formats and DIRECTLY store the converted output to the SD card I have installed in my Zen?
Why not? Because it isn't really possible. The internal memory of the Zen and the SD card contents are completely distinct storage areas and are not simultaneously visible to the host computer. You either have the Zen in MTP mode where you can interact with the internal memory or you have the Zen in Removable Disk mode where you can interact with the SD(HC) card. It is an either-or proposition. So you must (a) convert your music files to a location on your host computer, (b) put the Zen into Removable Disk mode, (c) transfer the converted files to the SD card and then (d) restore the Zen to MTP mode (where you can use the Memory Card menu items to browse/play the files).
I suppose I could pull back on the "not possible" part a bit since a stand-alone audio converter should allow you to set a user-specified output folder. As such you could put the Zen into Removable Disk mode first and then configure the converter to send files to the approriate folder on whatever dri've letter the SD card gets mapped to.

I think I want to start with (a), now can I use Zen media explorer to convert the files and place in another location on my computer or I must I download a 3rd party application to do this?

YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

Yes.

I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion

I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.

Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

Convert gzip files into XML format

We have a requirement where we receive gzip files. These files are zipped file containing base64 binary format csv files. We would have to convert these files into XML format. Please let me know any of the following.
1. Is there any Xpath query or XSL function (somthing similar like doTranslateFromNative() ) to convert from gzip files to XML format.
2. If we need to unzip the zipfile outside fusion, then java code piece to unzip the gzip file. I guess after that we can use the usual doTranslateFromNative() function to translate to XML format, since after unzipping the gzip file, they are base64 binary formats.
Thanks in advance,
Toms

There is an option to do pre-processing and post processing of Files when using File adapter. You need to create a valve which will first do pre processing and send the output to FileAdapter.
You can get more information here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CACDHGGG
under section: 4.2.14 Pre-Processing and Post-Processing of Files
Essentially you will use Java to unzip the file first and then the unzipped content will be passed to the adapter.

Convert REM Files to MP3 Format?

I have downloaded several songs via the Amazon MP3 application on my Blackberry Curve 9300. Little did I know that the songs were downloaded as rem files and not mp3 format? I cannot upload the files to my desktop or laptop computers nor my Kindle.
Amazon said since I downloaded most of the songs over 3 months ago, they cannot move them over to my Cloud Player. How do I convert rem file to mp3 format? I do not want to have to purchase these songs again.

That process above won't work. Waste of time.
Your files were downloaded as MP3 files, but you have content encryption placed on your Media Card, and then the REM extension is added to the filename, because you have protected those files.
You must turn off the encryption first, and then you can copy the files and they will be usable.

What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

Unable to convert aac (m4a) to another format

I have hundreds of m4a files in iTunes, and I want to convert them mp3.
however every time I try, I get an error message
"Error occurred while converting the file "myFileName". The disk could not be read from or written to."
now, I know you'd generally think that my permissions are set incorrectly, but I've checked that the files have read/write access.... I even tried converting them to WAV and AAC instead but same issue. Weirdly, MP3 files in the same folder can be converted to another format.
I tested converting a problem AAC file outside of iTunes using 3rd party software and it worked.
It seems to be that my AAC (mp4a) files are being stubborn inside iTunes. anyone know why?

First, M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio. It's an AAC file inside an MPG envelope. AAC is the successor of MP3, providing better quality at lower file sizes. In addition, people distributing content don't need to pay royalties to use AAC.
To convert these files to MP3 files, there is two ways for you:
#1. go to into the Preferences panel of iTunes. Click on the orange "Importing" selection and then select an MP3 Encoder for importing. Change the settings to whatever you want. Now, click OK and go back to the main window of iTunes. Select all songs you want to convert to MP3 and click on "Advanced" -> "Convert Selection to MP3".
iTunes knows a second AAC format called M4P. This is the protected version. It cant be converted to MP3 as easily. If you want to convert it to MP3, do this: First, burn the songs you want to convert onto an Audio CD (preferrably an CD-RW so you can erase it again afterwards). Now, import those songs again, this time into MP3 files.
#2.you can use a video converter software, here i recommend you Leawo Video Converter,this video converter can help you to convert aac audio format to mp3 files easily. You can find this software here. http://www.leawo.com/leawo-video-converter/
wish ican help you!

How can I convert MP3 file to AIFF to use in FCP?

Hi guys,
How can I convert an MP3 file to AIFF file to use it in Final Cut Pro?
Anyone please,
Thanks in advance,
Zia

#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.
