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.

How to convert .MP3 files into .AAC with iTunes 10.5.2

Im running a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and my iTunes version is 10.5.2.
I want to convert .MP3 files into .AAC using iTunes, but no option is given for me. What should I do?

im not going to change all my songs into AAC, I was experiementing around with making ringtones for my iphone. I can open a song in Garageband, and export it as an AAC file to my itunes, but it is very annoying. I remember older versions of itunes having a "Convert to AAC" option, but i can't find it anymore on this current version of itunes.
Basically, I want to convert a couple songs into AAC to create ringtones out of them.

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.

Itnues 10.1 update wom't convert MP3 files to ACC files

Grrr having a nightmare at the moment. I'm trying to convert some MP3 files to ACC format but the option has gone from the drop down menu. This has only been since I updated to 10.1. What is going on with Apple at the moment. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to resolve it? I did try to go back a version but that is no good :0( woud really appreciate some advice
Thanks
Maria

could be a permissions problem. try this:
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !
also try repairing permissions on your startup disk using *disk utility* (in applications/utilities). don't worry if you see strange errors ➠ _*permission repair messages you can safely ignore*_.
as long as you see +permissions repair complete+ @ the end, you're in the green.

How can I have iTunes find its newly converted mp3 files?

Hi,
I am not a power user. I have a playlist that is apparently composed of different file formats. So when I tried to burn them to a CD it gave me 92 songs that could not be burned as an mp3. I then chose to convert them to mp3. It apparently did it because I looked for the files in finder and saw the mp3 versions.
How can I now have iTunes use THOSE new mp3 files for burning? There must be a simple way to do that.
Thanks,
Jorge

Thanks Jim,
Is there any way to list them by "type"? I made the playlist from several playlists and I am sure that some of the offending songs are from several of those playlists.
I tried tricking iTunes into writing them onto a cd by just dumping the new MP3 duplicates into the same list and then telling it to burn. I then expected it to tell me the same 92 songs could not be written and planned to just tell it to skip those since now had them in as MP3s but it is now telling me that it will require more than one CD. Is that because the files are now bigger or because it is counting the 92 files that it will not be writing anyway?
Thanks,
Jorge

Converting mp3 file to AIFF

Hi, I'm making my way through a how to book called "Logic Pro 7 and Logic Pro Express 7," right now. I'm at a stage in Lesson 4 where I'm supposed to add an mp3 file to the Audio Window for a song that I'm working on. I dragged three AAIF files in and there was no issue. But I keep trying to add an mp3 file to the Audio window. I select "add audio file" and then I get to the "open file" window. When I add the mp3 file, it appears in the box, but above it, it says, "no audio file selected." When I hit "done", I get 3 rejection windows. The first two say, "could not create file." Then the third says, "Beat mp3 file, what kind of file is this?" In the book, it says that the mp3 should automatically convert to AAIF, but this isn't happening. Is there anything that I'm clearly not doing?? Thanks

I had exactly this problem some time ago - the command to import mp3 is messed up so if you try and add a file from the Audio menu you will get what you describe.
However you dont even need to use Waveburn - instead adjust Logic's window so you can see a bit of your Desk Top .. then open the directory where your MP3 file is stored that you want to bring into Logic - and just drag it Window to Window .. from the desk top straight into Logic's Audio Window next to the other audio files

ICloud: Will it work with non-iTunes music, converted MP3 files and manually organized library folder?

I have a small question about the new iCloud that was introduced.
I listen to music both on my notebook and on my desktop PC. At the moment I use an external hard drive that I keep with me so my music library exists on both computers. If I'm correct the new iCloud means I no longer need the external hard drive.
But,
Not all my music was purchased through iTunes. Some things are converted from CD's I bought and the CD is different from the iTunes version. (More songs, other songs,...) What happens with the songs that are different, or music that does not exist (I have a QOTSA CD which is not available outside the US iTunes store, or several LE bonus discs)?
Some local artists are not on the iTunes store. Is it possible to sync those to?
And the most important one, I also listen to my music in my car. It has support for an SD-card but no USB support so I can't hook my iPod. It only accepts MP3 files and it needs correctly filled in ID3 tags to show up nicely. I convert all my music with iTunes to MP3, but I use MusicBrainz to tag my music because I found that the iTunes ID3 tags will not be correctly picked up. I'm quite happy with this approach as it also means that I can organize my music library to my liking instead of the "let's throw all artists in one folder" approach iTunes uses. Is it possible to use the iCloud with my MP3 converted and tagged versions of my Music?
Thanks.

You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
To avoid that see:

Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.

In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Converting mp3 file to podcast

Is there any way of taking an arbitrary mp3 file (or other audio format) and getting iTunes and iPod to see it as a podcast?
I have mp3 files of lectures that I would like to access as podcasts, although they were not access via podcast feeds.

I have a similar need, and I'd appreciate some additional information -- especially regarding how to "host" my own podcast. In my case (very much like the original post), I have a series of MP3 files that are lectores (sermons, actually). So far, I've put them on my iPod by just adding them to my Music Library. But they're difficult to find, and I'd like the additional advantages of making them "podcasts".
Can anyone provide more detail -- either on simple tools to use (for the XML, or the personal web hosting that was mentioned), or a step-by-step procedure to just take my own MP3s, and make them truly podcasts, so that I can get them not only into iTunes, but onto my iPod, as well?

Need help with an automator workflow to convert AAC files to MP3

Hi
I am trying to work out a way to automatically convert voice memos which I dictate on my iPhone to MP3 files when they are added to my iTunes library during a sync. Then I need the converted files to be in a specific folder so that they will trigger an auto-transcription program that I have running.
From my limited knowledge of automating processes on my Mac it would seem that I need to design a workflow or a folder action in Automator. Probably a folder action would be best, as I could attach it to the 'Voice Memos' folder in my iTunes Music Folder. The converted MP3 files would be saved in the same folder and would then be recognised by the transcription program. I have tried to design a workflow/folder action using Doug's iTunes automator actions as follows, but it is not working as I would like. The workflow is as follows:
Folder Action/Get Folder Contents/Choose encoder (MP3)/Convert Tracks/Choose encoder (apple lossless)/Restore Encoder.
The folder action is triggered when I add AAC files to the folder I have attached the action to, but then I get an error message stating that 'no tracks have been sent to this action'.
i would be grateful for any help to get this working using the automator method or another method
thanks

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).

Can't move my mp3 files Using my new asus notebook with window 8 and iTunes 11.0.2 version.

HI,
Need help and advises on why I can't move the converted mp3 files to my iTunes playlist. Was okay with my old dell notebook.
it keep show ' link' when I drag the file to the playlist but can't click in...
please help !!,

Hi rachel65,
From your description, it sounds like you are prompted to "link missing files" when attempting to modify/move certain items. iTunes has lost track of the actual song file that is on your computer, and we'll need to instruct iTunes on where this file is located. The following information will assist you in tracking down these missing files:

If you can't find your media, you may be able to download it again if you originally purchased it from the iTunes Store:

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

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.
Regards.
