DVD-A tracks to iTunes...

hi guys
some friends gave me a couple of DVD-A & i would like to extract the audio to get into my iTunes library...i've looked around for suitable software but couldn't really find anything. could anyone point me in the right direction ? many thanks
Nuno

If these disks are copy-protected, as many DVD Audio disks are, then breaking the copy protection is illegal here in the US so we are not allowed to discuss such matters here even though it may be perfectly legal in Portugal. Sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance beyond this option: you can use a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap to capture the output of DVD Player and save the captured audio in a format that iTunes can import. Since that method doesn't break the copy protection, it's not illegal.
Regards.

DVD DTS audio track to iTunes library

Over in the iTunes for Windows community, I added this issue to a similar question posed there.
Before I explain my challenge, I want to address some other postings that I came across in my search for an answer. I noticed in a now-locked discussion that someone wrote that iTunes does not support DTS. This is incorrect. iTunes handles DTS files quite well, and many of us have many DTS sound files in our iTunes libraries, and play them either 1) through the optical port on our computers, or 2) through our Airport Expresses. Granted the optical output of those two routes must be connected to capable ports in a sound system that can detect and decode DTS data. It works. I have been enjoying it for more than a decade. And a note to the fellow who 'suspects' that Apple TV would also pass DTS – no it doesn't. That point is one of my significant complaints about the ATV – an inexplicable shortcoming, given that the Airport Express has long had the capability.
Now back to my current challenge. I have successfully extracted the DTS audio track from a concert DVD. How do I know I have been successful? VLC plays the file out the digital port of my MacPro into my sound system, which, in its display, identifies the encoding of the file. It is DTS, and sounds wonderful, naturally. How does one play the file to the digital port? In VLC, under the Audio menu, one finds, at the bottom, Audio Device, which leads to more choices. The only choice that will forward the pure DTS to the sound system is Built-in Digital Output (Encoded Output). VLC doesn't encode to DTS, it just doesn't decode by choosing this output device. So, what is the problem? iTunes will not accept nor import this file into its library. Obviously, there is more to the file than the song data and the file extension. I have tried the extensions that I have found on my existing DTS library entries (.wav and .aif). VLC seems to recognize the file for what it is regardless of the extension. Obviously, the file is somehow encapsulated, so I need to find a way to change the encapsulation to make it acceptable to iTunes. I've tried to have VLC export to .m4v, but that hasn't been successful.
I should add that this concert DVD came with a companion CD of the same concert. Unfortunately, the CD is standard stereo, and, yes, it is now in my iTunes library. However, it is much better to turn out the lights, sit back, and just listen to the music in full 5.1 surround without visual distractions. Be it the Police, the Moody Blues, Shania Twain (am I dating myself here?), or many others, DTS is... well, you should experience it for yourself!
I am looking for solutions / suggestions. Regards to all, Brian
I should add that I am quite willing to describe the process of extracting the sound track once I have the final steps resolved - getting the track into iTunes.

This is the build in copy protection of you these mp3-players called iPods... when you unpacked it there had been a little message (iPod Mini, iPod Video an earlier iPods)
(Don't steal music.)
That is still the reason why it is not possible to copy songs from your iPod back to iTunes, since all your songs should have been copied from that iTunes onto you iPod in first place ***....
So via build in AppleScript import commands you will not be able to hack that protection...
You can give macupdate.com or versiontracker.com a try to find the best tool do that job...

Is it possible to capture a DVD sound track it to GarageBand?

Is it possible to capture a DVD sound track while it plays on iDVD using GarageBand or iTunes? Can it be Imported or Copied?

You would use a 3rd party application like Audio Hijack to do that, then import into GB:

How do I get a track from iTunes to match the master tempo of my project?

I have a project open and I am adding a track from iTunes, but it does not line up with the tempo, making it impossible to play loops over it. Is there a way to make the tempo of the track match the master tempo of the project?

benfrommason wrote:
so is there a way to mix songs together that aren't the same tempo?
Yes. You have to decide which song is the "master" song that you match the other to. This song has to have the "follow tempo and pitch" option unchecked, the other song has it checked. Then you can use the tempo slider to match the songs to each other.
(I even did it with "Sympathy for the Devil" which has an irregular beat - it gets faster as the song progresses, the folks didn't record with a metronome back then. Using a tempo curve, I was able to match it to a modern, steady-beat song.)

How do I select multiple tracks in iTunes?

It's like a hold down control and something else, and then drag the curser to select the songs you want selected. I'm not sure what this shortcut is. Again, I want to select multiple tracks on iTunes so I can move files or delete them. Simply selecting all won't work because the files are different names. Anyone know this shortcut? Thanks!

If you click a track, hold down shift, and then click another one, it will select all the tracks between those two. Holding down command (the apple key) will allow you to select/deselect individual tracks.

Can't open a track from iTunes in Garageband.

Why can't I open a track from iTunes 12.1.2.27 in Garageband 10.0.3? The track is grayed out.
I loaded the tracks into iTunes from a legally purchased CD.
I'm using an iMac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3

Are the tracks in iCloud Match? Download them first, otherwise you cannot use them in the Media Browser. GarageBand needs a local copy.
from a legally purchased CD.
Even a legally purchased CD may have a protection. Do the songs show in your iTunes Library as
"Kind : Protected AAC audio file", when you open the "File" tab in the Inspector panel?
Then you cannot use them directly in GarageBand. Make a backup copy of the album by burning an Audio CD in iTunes and reimport. That will help sometimes.

How do i rename tracks in itunes in a imac?

am new imac owner, previously had a PC and used right-click to rename tracks where itunes wasn't able to get track details when uploading CD's - how do i do this on the imac? also how do i get album art work? please don't judge me for ignorance Apple lovers......i have seen the light, i have converted, i just need a little help.....

You can use Get Info for a selected song - with a song selected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Get Info - the keyboard shortcut for this will be available next to the Get Info selection.
iTunes includes an option to check for album artwork for songs that don't have it, or search the web and download your own which can be added via the Get Info function for a selected song. The last tab for the various selections is the artwork - it can be added there.

Ipod won't play tracks but itunes will

I have bought some singles from itunes (mp4) and since I have ripped the album from CD. The problem is that the tracks (mp3) that I have bought from itunes will not play and the album freezes when it gets to this track. If I play the original single (mp4) this will play.
If I try and play the mp3 ripped track on itunes it plays perfectly.
Any ideas?

why?
Ripping DVDs would entail breaking an encryption schema. That is forbidden under the DCMA and thusly, the Apple TOU. They make a specific point about DVD ripping.
Section 6.8.2:
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.

How can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? thanks!

how can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? Just trying to record over it. thanks!

Reveal iTunes in GarageBand in the Media Browser like this:
Use the search field to find your song in iTunes, and drag the song from the m
Media Browser to a real instrument track or an empty space on the Time Line.
Or drag the song from the iTunes Application window to the desktop, and from the Desktop into the Time Line in GarageBand. Unfortunately you cannot drag directly from iTunes to Garageband.

Can I set a track from iTunes as my ringtone?

Can I set a track from iTunes as my ringtone?

You can make a ringtone out of a song that:
1) is or was purchased from itunes
2) has a ringtone icon
Once you have the itunes purchased song in your library and it has the bell icon, then click on the bell icon. Then edit the song to the portion and length of the clip you want to use.
Then select buy( it will cost 99 cents in addition to the original cost of purchasing the song from itunes). It will show up in your ringtones heading in itunes. When you sync, it will be on your iphone.

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad?

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad? If so, how?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
Regards.
