Converting to AIFF format

I want to use certain tracks I downloaded from the iTunes store in a Final Cut Express project. The music files are best employed in the AIFF format. When I try to convert the desired files in iTunes to AIFF, I'm told that they're protected files and I'm not allowed to convert them. Is is the case that I can only convert files that were created when I began with my own CDs? Seems a bit unfair considering that I purchased the tracks.
Thanks for any and all advice.

Technically, you didn't purchase the songs, only the right to use them in the ways the rights holders allow. Annoying buy true. You can, however, burn those protected tracks to an audio CD which you can then use as you would any other audio CD.

HT1473 If I have accidently downloaded all my CD's in AIFF format and want to convert the downloads in my iTunes library to AAC format to reduce the sIze in gb's on my laptop is this possible or do I have to down load it all again in AAC format?

If I have downloaded all my CD's accidently in AIFF format and created a massive 330gb file on my laptop, can I now convert the downloaded files to AAC format or do I have to re load all the CD's in AAC format.................help?

You can convert them. No need to re-rip the CDs.
The original rip to AIFF maintained all audio quality of the CD. An AAC that you get from converting an AIFF or from re-ripping from CD will be equivalent quality. But since you already have the AIFFs, converting will be much faster.
A few specifics of the conversion process have changed in iTunes 11, so check this guide:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Note that the process creates a new AAC but does not remove the original AIFF. If there is no future use for the AIFFs (which I assume is true in your case), you can just delete them from the library after the conversion is done.

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....

Conversion of iTunes library to AIFF format

Because of problems associated with audio encoding during iDVD6 burning the iDVD forum suggested that I convert my iTunes library to the AIFF format. I just finished the conversion and now it appears that all my songs (MPEG4 , MP3, etc.) have all both the old format and the new AIFF format. How do I get rid of all the duplicates and keeps only the AIFF format? Do I have to do it manually? One song at a time?
Thanks in advance for any ansvers and/or suggestions.
Frank

Well first off why do you think you need to convert to AIFF? What is the specific issue? iDVD can use MP3 & AAC files just fine. However there is an issue sometimes with iTunes Music Store purchased song not working correctly, but this is easily fixed by burning the purchased tune to an audio CD then reimporting it to an MP3.
Second, those AIFF files take up a LOT of room and are not really the full uncompressed version anyway. The losses associated with the compressed versions before conversion are still there. So my suggestion is that when you are done with them, delete the AIFF files and keep the original MP3s etc.
If the songs came off your own CDs, then it is far better to reimport songs into AIFF format than converting already compressed versions to AIFF.

Convert from 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?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies.
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. So before exploring or trying one of these, somewhat blindly, I was hoping to see if there were any options I had missed with Mac software I already own and trust, from GarageBand to QuickTime to Finale's PrintMusic (have I missed anything?).
And if not, then I'm hoping to get more info from Mac users about what you may have tried and what works best. Here are some of the leading options I've tripped across so far, converting to midi from audio formats AIFF-C and mp3 (since I have easy access to the source as well as the ripped versions):

- 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!

CD burning - (mp3 files) should you convert to AIFF (for quality)

Hello
With regard to eg iTunes mp3 songs for copying to CD.
For the best sound quality, do you keep them as mp3, or select conversion to AIFF, (ie at the burning stage).
Obviously AIFF is better quality, but I do not know if an mp3 converted to AIFF is better than an mp3 which is unchanged.
Thanks

Converting an MP3 to AIFF will just give you a larger file in a different format, it won't restore any quality to the track. Information is lost during the conversion to MP3 in the first place and that information cannot be added back. If you burn your MP3 playlist to an Audio CD the files will automatically be converted to AIFF and you'll be able to play that CD in a regular player, that's the only advantage there is, the tracks won't sound any better (and probably no worse).

ITunes songs won't convert to AIFF...

I read through some of the posts, and found Hangtime's 'Never Fail' method for converting iTunes songs so that I can edit them in GarageBand. But after I tried to covert the selected file (which I purchased from iTunes), it said that it "could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats." What now? (I have GarageBand v 2.0, and iTunes v. 6.01)

Well, that's the purpose of copy protection: Your purchased iTunes songs come in a special flavor of the AAC format that has a sort of "digital rights management" (DRM) and can't be converted to other formats easily. They don't want you to turn them into MP3s and make them available on the Internet ...
However, iTunes' DRM is a sensible and weak one and allows you a broad range of personal uses of the files. One of them is burning an unlimited number of CDs from it. And guess what the format of CD audio files is? Right, they're AIFFs. So if you burn a CD with your song, you can drag it right from the disc into your timeline. Sort of material intensive, but it should work.

How to export straight to AIFF format ?

Hi there,
The main reason I use garageband is actually I need it to complement my use in Final Cut. But final Cut only accepts AIFF format.
I find that garangeband when doing a "EXPORT TO DISC" only has to option AAC or MP3. Thus, I find myself having to do extra step of using QuickTime Player to convert the AAC file to AIFF format.
Any method to export straight it as AIFF format ?
Thanks

Converting to aiff

When I try to convert a selection to AIFF, I get a message that protected files cannot be converted to other formats. Don't know since I burned one CD if this then protected the files? How do I unprotect to convert to AIFF?

Protected iTMS files cannot be directly converted to any other format. You need to burn an Audio CD with the file(s) and then Import them as you would a commercial CD.
If they are Protected .wma files, then iTunes cannot use them at all.
Realize that iTMS files are AAC/128kbps. Decent audio quality for iPod use, but not high-quality. Converting them to AIFF (Lossless) will not increase their audio quality, just give you a much larger file size. If you need them in AIFF for other reasons, then that may be your only method.

Need to convert to vector format.

I have a document with pictures. I need to convert it to vector format before sending to printer. Not sure how to do it. Using CS5. Is converting to outlines the same?

It must be difficult to convert from illustrator into a vector format since no one has a specific answer.
Soshagayle7,
There is no automagic "conversion" from a raster image to a vector graphic. The artwork represented by a raster image can be redrawn as vector artwork.
You can re-draw the artwork using the vector drawing tools in Illustrator or any similar program. You can even import the raster image and use it as a guide while "tracing" it with vector paths.
Or (and this is where the all-too-common misconception about "conversion" comes in)...
You can use the autotrace feature which exists in Illustrator or any similar program to try to automate the process of "tracing" the raster image with vector paths.
Either way, you end up with what would more accurately be called a "reinterpretation" of the subject, not a "conversion" of the raster image in the sense of "converting" one file format to another.
And that's the key. All that most current autotrace features (including the one in Illustrator) do is detect color differences between pixels of a raster image based upon a user-specified sensitivity setting, and then try to draw vector paths which follow along those detected differences. It's very much a garbage-in-garbage-out process.
And even when the "in" is not garbage, there is no real intelligence involved. The kind of autotrace algorithms in Illustrator and programs like it have no shape-recognition intelligence. For example, in the case of a human face, the autotrace feature doesn't know that the eyes' pupils are round; it just detects a region of similarly-colored pixels and tries to draw a path around them. Similarly, in the case of a geometric logo that obvously (to a human) is supposed to contain a perfect circle, the autotrace feature doesn't "see a circle"; it doesn't go and get the Ellipse tool and draw a circle that fits, as any human would do. Again, it just tries to follow around the regions of similarly-colored pixels.
But that sounds okay, right? Well think about it. Imagine turning the sensitivity of such an algorithm way up to the max. What's going to be the most accurate autotracing of a raster image? The mathematically "most accurate" result would be a perfect vector square for each and every pixel in the image. And the "vector advantage" of that would be absolutely nill. The resolution-independence reason for preferring vector paths would be rendered moot. Such a graphic would be entirely vector, but to absolutely no advantage regarding scaleability. (Thus my comment about the line drawn with a 1-pixel raster image.)
So the reason you haven't received an answer to the "how do I convert" question is because the same thing has been explained in this forum countless times, and to answer it correctly really requires a lengthy explanation (like this one) that tries to clear up the too-common misconception that autotracing is some kind of magic bullet for "converting" a raster image into a vector graphic in some kind of mathematically accurate way that then yields all the advantages of properly drawn vector graphics.
Autotracing is useful to those who understand when it's appropriate and why. But without seeing or at least knowing more about the actual raster image you are dealing with, advising whether it's appropriate in your case is nothing but a guess. Generally speaking, if the image in question is not already of high enough resolution at the size at which it will be printed, then it's probably also not of high enough resolution for good auto-tracing results. And if it is of sufficient resolution for the size at which it will be printed, then there's probably no reason it needs to be vector.
Bottom line: There's a good reason why vector graphics are preferred. But that means properly-drawn vector graphics. The best way to "convert" your raster image to a vector graphic is to re-draw it using the vector tools. The sometimes-acceptable but often sub-standard "cheat" for doing it is to import the graphic and apply the autotrace feature (called LiveTrace in Illustrator). It's use is explained in the online help.
Autotracing--the "conversoin" that such questions are almost always talking about--is not a lossless translation, like converting quarts to gallons or binary to hexidecimal. Entropy always rules. Anytime something is automatically "reprocessed" something is lost, not gained. You see that in everything from repainting a room over and over without removing the old paint, to taking photographs of photographs of photographs. Degradation occurs. You swap one kind of ugliness for another. That's autotracing when used inappropriately.
The drawing tools exist for a reason. If you really need vector paths, you should probably draw them.

Garage Band is recognizing ".aif" format loops but not ".aiff" format loops

All of the ".aif"-formatted loops (from Jam Packs, etc.) are showing up fine in the Loop Browser, but other loops I bought from third-party vendors that are in the ".aiff" format are not showing up at all in the loop browser. They are all in the same correct folder for loops on my system along with the working Jam Pack loops. I tried dragging and dropping a bunch of these loops onto the blank space on an open session based on some advice I read on the internet, and Garage Band processed them (and created new instrument tracks on the screen for each loop) but they did not subsequently show up in the loop browser as I had hoped. Do I need to reformat these to ".aif" somehow? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just to follow up, draggging the loop folders into the loop browser didn't work exactly on its own, but I got it to work in the following manner. First I went to the finder and deleted the apple loop indexes in each of the two locations where apple loops are stored in my computer (note to Apple: why multiple different folders for Apple Loops?). Then I dragged all of the Apple Loops that were stored in the second loops folder (in the Library under "Audio") to the first Apple Loops folder. Then I dragged both entire Apple Loops folders (required even though the second one was now empty) into the loop browser. Upon dragging the second one in, Garage Band automatically began reindexing my loops and then everything showed up in the loop browser correctly, finally. Apparently both (or all) locations where Garage Band stores loops must be individually dragged into the loop browser to trigger the reindexing process. This process was harder than it should be and I feel like it represents an annoying bug in Garage Band, in addition to the help from this post I also had to google research the problem for quite some time to figure out this process.

Hello,
Following is the procedure to convert alv output to spool and then it to PDF Format.
After we display the ALV, we can check whether it is running in the background using system field u2018sy-batchu2018. Then,we call an function module named u2018GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFOu2019 to get the current job information. Then go to spool request table tbtcp to get the spool id.
Get current job details
CALL FUNCTION u2018GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFOu2019
       IMPORTING
            eventid                 = gd_eventid
            eventparm               = gd_eventparm
            external_program_active = gd_external_program_active
            jobcount                = gd_jobcount
            jobname                 = gd_jobname
            stepcount               = gd_stepcount
       EXCEPTIONS
            no_runtime_info         = 1
            OTHERS                  = 2.
SELECT * FROM tbtcp
                 INTO TABLE it_tbtcp
                 WHERE      jobname     = gd_jobname
                           AND jobcount = gd_jobcount
                           AND stepcount = gd_stepcount
                           AND listident <> u20180000000000u2032
                           ORDER BY   jobname

                                               stepcount.
READ TABLE it_tbtcp INTO wa_tbtcp INDEX 1.
Finally, we can call function module u2018CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDFu2018 to convert spool reqeust(which is stored in OTF format) to PDF format. Then we can call either function module u2018SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1u2032 or SAP BCS (Business Communication Service) to send the pdf as an email attachment.

       IMPORTING
            pdf_bytecount = gd_bytecount
       TABLES
            pdf = it_pdf_output

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?
Any free software out there? or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
-D

or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
Yes to both.
In Quicktime Export -> Export Sound to Wave
In iTunes, check your preferences for General>Import and then right click on the file to convert to WAV
Also STP can do that.
Double click the file to open it in the File Editor and Save as, then select Wave as the filetype.

Internal table data 1E2 automatically convert to scientific format

Dear all,
I have been searched for solution moths from the forums and tried all possible methods, but still no way to solve my above problem. I found a way to solve it partially for us, but may be very helpful for others who meet similly case like mine, so I posted here.
my problem is when I export my internal table data to Excel, the Cell data with 1E2 auto becomes 1.00E02, and 1E8 becomes 1.00E08, we need it to be 1E2 and 1E8 in excel.
you can recreate my problem by
1, input 1E2 into your Microsoft Excel, then Enter, it will auto change into scientific format. which is we do not want.
2, use any of your SAP system open any table as long as there is a Char (>3) field in that table. add some
data entry in that field in the form "any amount (<15) of numeric 1 to 9"E"any one or two numeric 1 to 9". such as, 123E2, 1234E12 etc. then save this table's data to local file spread sheet, or use any FM to download it to a Excel file, when you open this
file by Excel, the cell with above form will display as scientific. but
if you put three or more numeric after the "E", such as 123E123 it will
display correctly.
what I have done:
I searched in SCN for similar thread:
    Export to Excel 2007 - item number problem
    Exceding the limit of numbers in Excel at target side
    Excel download cell format problem
    Formating as Text in excel through SAP
    Converting of amount field into excel file through GUI DOWNLOAD
    Data downloaded to excel gets converted to exponential format.
    Problem with Excel download   and scientific number
    Re: Issue in displaying numbers in Excel?
    CSV Flat File Data Problem (Number converting to Scientific Notation)
Tested accordingly, But none of these works in our case. because our
ultimate receiver of email attachment will be external third party, we cannot ask
them to change anything in their Excel.
Search Microsoft help about Excel, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214233,
and it says this "Automatic Number Formatting" is a normal behaviour of excel.
no way to turn it off, the "work-around" way that Microsoft provides is not suitable for our
case.
We test CL_iXML recently arrording to weblog http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/FormattedExcelasEmailAttachment
it successful controled the format. so this could be a solution for others whose internal table size is small. but our 2MB internal table bocome 6MB when converted to xml file attachment, which cannot be received by our end user's mail box. too big.
So please advise your ideas.
Many thanks in advance!
Peter Ding
Thank you very much for your time!

Hi,
You can achieve this by describing the spreadsheet in XML with the help of the DOM classes.
The later releases of Excel can read and save spreadsheets as XML, providing your release supports this you can achieve it.
Check out the following Wiki
[Excel - XML|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/abap/exporting%2bdata%2bto%2bexcel%2b-%2bxml%2bto%2bthe%2brescue]

Is it with some specific documents?
Are you able to convert the word/excel files to pdf?
