Display file type, bit rate, sample rate in 12.0.1?

I just upgraded to 12.0.1 running on an old dual quad core running OS10.7.5
I used to be able to customize the ID3 tag fields when displaying my music library.
One important aspect was to view the file type, bit rate, and sample rate as I'm a band/audio producer.
I can now only view those things when I "get info" on each song.  This is really painful as I'd like to see a list of all my songs and be able to easily see those 3 fields and sort by them.
Is there a way or did Apple remove this ability therefore making my experience of using iTunes be pretty much ruined?
any help would be much appreciated!  thanks...

Symbion,
The ability is still there, but it is enabled differently.
In Songs view, click the drop-down at the upper right  Then click the next drop-down called "Show Columns," as shown below.  There, you can pick the columns you want to display, including sample rate, etc.

  • Compressor 3.5 won't let me reduce the MPEG2 program file average bit rate

    Compressor 3.5 won't let me reduce the MPEG2 program file average bit rate less then 10Mbps. I just installed this new version and it is giving me this problem. I have been delivering an 1hr MPEG2 program streaming at 6Mbps average to 7.1Mbps Max output with Compressor 1 for a year now. Here is my workflow;
    Drop the 1440X1080 into NTSC timeline and DO NOT conform so it will be rendering as 720X480 then shoot that sequence to compressor to above settings. It worked just fine for a year. Now, this new compressor wont let me do less then 10Mbps which is the lowest bitrate for HD. The network can not run any bigger file than 6Mbps. I checked my settings restarted and all that. IS this a bug that needs to be fixed? Any help would be appreciated since my deadline is tomorrow.

    Sorry, meant to say that this only happens with court databases. As far as I can tell, I can download from other sites with no trouble.

  • How to display file type - suffix

    I am trying out the trial version of aperture. Immediately found one problem and can't find a solution easily.
    When images are imported Aperture shows the file name only and not the suffix - i.e. DSC0001 and not DSC0001.NEF or IMG001.CR2.
    How do I change this so that I can see what type of file I am dealing with?
    Thanks

    View > Metadata Display > Customize, then Aperture > File Name
    This will allow you to see the name of the Master that is being managed or referenced. Remember, what you see is called a "Version" because it's just a representation of the output after adjustments are applied to the Master. That's why you only see a Version name, which may or may not be the same as the Master.
    Also, if you have the Metadata view open in the Inspector (Library/Metadata/Adjustments), you'll see the file type in the camera window along with all the shooting settings. That might be easier than dealing with metadata fields.
    hope this helps.

  • How To Display File Type?

    Using iPhoto 6, I imported a number of image files from another computer.
    Many of the images were shot with cameras that save both raw and jpg files.
    I see that iPhoto, in the Library view, is displaying only the file number but not the suffix (.crw or .jpg) on some but not all of these files, and I can't figure out why. I'd like to display the suffix (file type) in the library view of all of these files.
    Then, I'd like to find a way to just display the raw files (or just the jpgs) so I'm not scrolling through a screen of duplicate images.
    Thanks for your help and suggestions.

    Thanks, but I'm trying to cut down, not add to, disk usage.
    There is no disk usage with Albums, Smart or otherwise, in iPhoto. All such concepts including books, calendars etc., Slideshows and so forth - in fact everything except Rolls - are virtual entities. They are recorded in the database file. There is no corresponding folder of images on the HD. So a pic can be in 1, 10, or 100 albums and use no extra disk space at all.
    I'm sorry but I don't have v6 any longer, so this may not be the case, but using the Info Pane (click on the little 'i' lower left) is there a 'Kind' heading?

  • Attributes...Help with displaying File Type Icons

    I have a document area folder(s) that content managers can
    upload files into. I know that they can place an image with
    these files by using the secondary tab, BUT, my question is
    this....
    Is there a way to have the portal identify what type of file
    this is and associate an image to it to display just like
    the "NEW" icon does....ie....when they load a word document, the
    word icon will be displayed next to the title.
    This would get rid of having to upload the image with every file
    (Which there are many) and save space within the database as
    these images are stored with in each record.
    Please let me know if this is possible and if anyone has any
    suggestions.
    PS...running 308 at this time.

    OK...I figured it out a couple different ways.
    First way I did it was to create perspectives for each file type
    ie word, excel Power Point etc. You can then just add the
    perspective when adding files to the document area.
    BUT, this also isn't automated and can be if you want to.
    Simply write a trigger(s) to do this for you. Wrote one this
    afternoon and it work flawlessly. Now when users add a file to
    the document area, a nice little ICON displays next to the file
    name.
    If anyone else has a different more efficient way, please pass
    it on.
    Thanks

  • Accuracy of DVD player bit rate meters?

    Anyone know why different DVD players would display drastically different bit rates as a DVD is playing?
    I have a 90-minute project (81 min. film and about 8 mins. of extras) authored w/ DVD Studio Pro to DVD-R, with the main film itself compressed using Compressor's "90 minute Best Quality" preset (average video bit rate of 6.2 Mbps and a maximum bit rate of 7.7 Mbps). However, when playing the burned DVD-R back on my home Pioneer tabletop DVD player (which displays bit-rate info superimposed on the TV screen), it shows the bit rate at the above levels but with occassional spikes as high as 8.8 Mbps (these spikes only last about a quarter second). So it sound like Compressor's "maximum" 7.7 setting really isn't maximum, unless the Pioneer's meter is wrong.
    Now, really weird: when I play the very same disc on an older Toshiba DVD player which also has a bit rate meter, it shows average bit rates in the 8.5-9.8 range, with spikes as high as 10.0. I've tried playing the film back twice on the Toshiba and it has frozen twice, at different parts of the movie (and not during chapter breaks or markers). I've read that the max. bit rate for all DVD content (video, audio, subtitles, etc). is 10.08, and the max. for video is 9.8. The film I'm playing has no subtitle or other extra streams, just the single video and audio files.
    I've played the film fine on 5 other DVD players, so maybe it's just the Toshiba. But the bit rate differences are puzzling.
    My concern is that this disc play well on multiple players. As is, it fills 4.29 GB on the disc. Should I recompress the film at Compressor's 120 min. Best Quality setting to lower the bit rate?
    Thanks.

    Any system measuring real-time performance is probably doing an estimate.
    Doing an accurate measurement would take so much processing power that
    the performance itself would be affected. So it's quite possible that
    the numbers you're seeing are somewhat inaccurate.
    That said, you seem to be pushing the limits of your test systems,
    so maybe you should back off on your Compressor settings.

  • Custom bit rate of 192kbps coming out as all sorts

    Started importing some more CDs today and the bit rates for the imported files are showing anything between 187 and 195 kbps ?????
    The rest of my library shows as 192 kbps all 4000+ tracks.
    Anyone explain, as I have not got variable bit rate selected in preferences ( that was my first thought ).
    It also happens on converting too.
    Message was edited by: Airsculpture

    As far as I know, Apple's implementation of AAC never had a true "constant bit rate" (CBR) mode. AAC files encoded by iTunes have always varied slightly, even dropping the bit rate close to 0 kbps on portions of "digital silence." You can verify this by opening an old AAC file in Quicktime and selecting "get info" to view its actual average bit rate. Previously, iTunes simply displayed your target bit rate. I don't think there has been any actual change in how iTunes/Quicktime encode CBR, it is simply that it is being displayed differently.

  • Bit rates, file type, MP3 encoders, quality settings etc.

    Can someone provide me with or point me to a good explanation of various sound file types and settings and how it relates to sound quality and disk space? I've been importing tunes, recording some streams etc. and I realize I need a definitive source to explain to me how I can get the best sound quality, with all the variables involved: bit rate (64, 96, 128kbps etc.), file type (AIFF, WAV, MPs etc.), MP3 encoder (Apple lossless, AIFF, AAC etc.) Thanks in advance.....

    OK. The following is my opinion.
    iTunes supports 5 formats. WAV and AIFF are uncompressed and lossless. Apple Lossless Encoding (ALE) is compressed and lossless. MP3 and AAC are compressed and lossy.
    WAV, AIFF, and ALE give the same quality as a CD but are too bulky for use in an iPod. The practical choices are MP3 and AAC.
    AAC gives better quality for a given bit rate. However, it is not as widely supported as MP3. Many non-Apple players cannot handle AAC. So choose between MP3 and AAC accordingly.
    Both AAC and MP3 allow you to select an encoding bit rate, usually in the range of 32 to 320 kb/s. That number affects the audio fidelity of the compressed file as compared with the CD quality original. Given that you will be using a good stereo at least part of the time, I suggest go no lower than 192.
    You can do a web search and find listening tests, etc. You can also take a couple of tracks, rip them at 192, 256, and 320, and see if you notice anything better with the higher numbers.
    Enjoy the music!

  • "current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

    I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
    Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
    Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
    Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
    In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
    I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
    I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
    Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

  • Sample & bit rate

    I have a two part question:
    1) I have a Presonus Firebox that allows me to record up to 24 bit/96k. I am wonder if I should take advantage of this and use those settings in audio midi setup for when I record into GrarageBand? Is it worth the extra file size? Is there a noticeable quality gain? Will 96k work with GB?
    2) I know GB is only 16 bit and that CD's that it will be mixed to are at 16 bit/44.1 kHz. But what about if I record a song in GB at 24 bit/96k, mix down to iTunes, and put it on my ipod as an AIFF will the increased quality show up there? What about on an Audio DVD made from itunes with iDVD.
    Thanks for any info and/or opinions,
    Paul

    Not that it's relevant in the context of GarageBand, but it might be useful to clarify the effect of sample rate and bit depth.
    The sample rate affects the frequency response. it is mathematically impossible for a sampling system to correctly render any frequency at or above half the sampling rate (trying to do so produces false frequencies - 'birdies ' - known as aliasing). 44.1kHz effectively limits your frequency response to about 21 kHz, 48kHz to about 23 kHz, and so on.
    The bit depth affects the noise floor: 16-bit gives a theoretical noise floor of about -90dB below peak: 24-bit gives a theoretical noise floor of about -138dB below peak. -90 is pretty well inaudible: but remember that when adding tracks together the noise, being random, is added (3dB per track if they are the same level when mixed - of course the peak level increases too). The digital noise, if it becomes audible, is far more annoying in its sound than good old-fashioned tape hiss.
    In practice, GB's restriction to 44.1/16-bit isn't really that much of a problem: of course 96/24 would be better, but you gets what you paid for!
    Incidentally, don't confuse bit depth with bit-rate, which is a combination of the sampling rate and the bit depth, and is fixed for uncompressed files: but of course as you compress files with MP3 or similar you reduce the bit-rate by leaving out information, even though the sampling rate is the same.

  • Audio bit rate (kbps) and file size balance

    I'm new to Flash, and I'm trying to decide how to set the bit
    rate (kbps) for my audio files.
    I'm creating PowperPoint-like presentations with voice audio.
    You can see what I'm doing at
    http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Audio_Book.htm
    I first decided on 16 kbps, but I'm not happy with how it
    sounds, especially through headphones connected to the computer. My
    presentations, of course, sound better with higher bit rates, but
    file sizes roughly double for each doubling of the bit rate. At 16
    kbps, my files range from 1-3 MB, so for 32 kbps (which I'm leaning
    toward now), they are 2-6 MB. My questions are
    What's the concensus on the best bit rate for Internet sound
    files, especially voice?
    How important is it to minimize files size? The files are
    already large enough so that dial-up folks will probably not listen
    to them, and even the larger files seem to download fast enough
    with my cable connection.
    Thanks for the help.

    The best is the import high quality sound in wav format. Than
    in library you can
    play around with m3p compression changing the rates and all.
    Checking the quality
    versus the file size and find one that suit your needs. There
    is no BEST format to
    import. Every single fill have individual setting. It's all
    depends on the sound.
    Like, in case of voice. Very different to other sounds.
    Save it as ADPCM (adaptive pulse code modulation) or Mp3
    9kbps as your second choice.
    Also take note that STREAM always lower down the quality , it
    suppose to load fast so flash reduce
    it enormously , usually sound like pure crap, go to library
    (CTRL L to open) right click your sound
    and go to properties, adjust the compression and type of
    audio format to find best size and quality...

    You would be surprised. I was doing voice overs two or 3
    weeks ago for a client.
    Needed 5 sounds , up to two minutes each, for different
    slides. Ranging from 2.5 MB
    to 2.9 MB per file.
    After compressing all of them, I had 5 sounds in very good
    quality of total size 1.4 MB
