Do I need to convert my AAC files before burning an audio CD?

I import all my music CDs into iTunes 9 as AAC. When I want to burn a playlist onto a CD as an audio CD, do I have to manually convert my the file into an AIFF format before burning a CD? I think I read that regular CD players cannot play songs that are in AAC format and must be in AIFF format. The CD will be played on a regular car CD player.

No.
Simply selecting *Audio CD* in the Burn window is all you need to do.

  • How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac

    How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac?

    There has to be another way.
    No, there isn't.
    You can use a CD-RW instead of CD-R.
    It will not play on most CD-players, but should play fine on your computer.

  • Converting a WAV file to a Raw Audio File

    Is there an easy way to convert a WAV file to a raw audio file? Maybe some way to just strip the file header?
    Would if work if I just loaded a WAV file into an AudioInputStream and read all the bytes out and dumped them directly back onto disk via a DataOutputStream? Even if so, there must be a quicker solution, right?
    Thanks!

    And I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a "quicker solution". That's literally about 10 lines of code...
    JavaSound wasn't really meant to do audio processing, it was designed to give you access to sound data so you can do audio processing if you want it. It's not particularly useful, but it is extremly powerful...

  • Help with converting an .aac file to .mp3!

    Is there anyway in iTunes to convert your entire library into a .mp3 file without it creating duplicates? Or is there a way to make it create the duplicates and then select every other song to easly get rid of the older .aac file?
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Would this work for me...? My problem is that I have about 6000 .WAV songs I've put from all my CD collection into my external 400 GB drive library. After a year of using my computer as a jukebox, I also decided to get an Ipod Shuffle, and would like to periodically put MP3 formatted songs on it from my library. So far, I've been 'converting' them in Itunes to mp3 (keeping the wav's of course) then smartlisting (by size) the mp3's into a playlist to put on the Ipod. The problem is that even though the mp3s are small, I don't want to use up disk space on the external drive for those essentially duplicate and only temporarily needed files. I know I can delete them manually after putting them on my Ipod, but that's lots of chances to accidentally delete a wav by mistake or otherwise screw up and waste time.
    I'd really just like to create a separate physical place on my internal drive as the 'destination' and then convert a few hundred (or even all 6000!) of my wavs to mp3 into that directory, then go back to using the external (main, 'wav')library for any new CD's I import. Can this be done without somehow screwing up the main library data file, and will I still be able to consider that my external drive has all the information which goes with the .wav files so that if I copy everything on it I've truly done a backup? (I don't care if I lose the mp3's, as they are only transient en route to the Ipod). I wish I could set Itunes to keep everything on my computer in .wav, and convert automatically to mp3 when loading my Ipod...!
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Irregular Bit Rates for Converted/Imported AAC files (iTunes 7.5)?

    I have noticed that my recent additions to my iTunes library have irregular bit rates inconsistent with the usual 128 kbps. They range from 121-131 kbps and appear to be randomly generated. This has happened with MP3s and WMAs that I have converted into AACs and CD tracks that I have imported as AACs. My first additions with these problems were on the 19th of November. Before this time I updated my library to iTunes 7.5. None of my previous 2000+ music files (all AAC) which I have been adding successfully for the last 3 years have had this problem and they are almost all (except for a couple at 64 kbps) at 128 kbps. My suspicion is that the new iTunes 7.5 may be the cause of this irregularity.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Need to convert to .img file

    I have an image, currently in .bmp format, but can be changed to .jpg or .tiff. I need to convert it to .img. I'm running CS6 on a Mac.

    Are you sure you don't mean img in the file name?
    Some cameras create file name like: img001.jpg, img002.jpeg, etc.
    Googling .img points to some type of image in AutoCAD?
    I find it hard to believe that AutoCAD cannot work with .jpg or tiff.
    .JPG is pretty universally accepted by all applications that deal with images.
    Who is asking you for an image with the .img file extension and what are they planning to do with it, (use in what application)?

    Over time Adobe does add more choices, but in your specific case there are no options for any Adobe Store purchases, so I don't expect it will change anytime soon. Acrobat.com services aren't available through resellers.

  • Can I convert m4a (AAC) files back to mp3?

    I have like 60 something songs that I want to fit all on one cd and that would definately not happen in AAC so I want to convert each song into mp3.

    Depending on what bitrate you have set the AAC is about the same size as an MP3.
    Do you perhaps have AAC confused with Apple Lossless, which is much larger?
    But anyway, yes you can convert it. Go to iTunes preferences>Advanced (iT6)>importing and set the "import using" to MP3. Click OK
    Now go back and select the song(s) and from the menu bar go advanced>convert to MP3.
    The song will be duplicated, one AAC version and one MP3 version. Delete the one you don't want, or keep both to compare the size difference.
    If your talking about purchased songs, you can't convert them to MP3. You have to burn an audio CD first and then rip it as MP3.
    Just remember that converting a lossy format to another lossy format will reduce the quality. If it is AAC it probably isn't worth converting to MP3 if your only reason for doing so is to save space, because there is not much difference in the two.

  • Quicklook is not quick anymore. It needs to convert even .mov files! Is there a solution?

    Today, I got a rather agressive reminder to upgrade to Mavericks on my workstation. I work as a motion graphics designer and as a result of that, I am opening, watching and making movies all day.
    On my home computer, an iMac, I installed Mavericks, and then Quicklook became totally unusable for movies. Even .movs in Apple Animation codec cannot be 'looked quick at', but need to convert.
    Untill this is solved, I am not going to upgrade my workstation to Mavericks, since it is gonna cost me a lot of time and annoyance.
    Why is this brilliant feature of Mac OSX crippled in Mavericks?

    Both ProRes and H.264 are lossy and not useful as codec for graphics that have to be processed over and over.
    However - it is not an improvement if less movies can be opened than before. Quicklook should open every movie that is encoded in a codec installed in the Library.

  • In iPhoto 11 imported tiff files remain tiff after editing.  I need to convert to large file jpegs. How? using the "export" function they become too small

    I thought imported tiff files would be converted by iPhoto to JPEGS in previous versions of iPhoto.  this might have been a disadvantage but my current project requires JPEGs as the final product.
    thanks for any guidance
    Jim

    Drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the desktop or export as kind = JPEG
    As to too small - what is too small?  The pixel dimensions of the exported JPEG will be identical to the original TIFF - the file size is smaller because JPEGs are compressed - which of course reduces file size - which of course is the reason that JPEG exists
