Editing and cutting music files

I am trying to edit or cut music (mp3) files to around 30 seconds each. I saw in another thread that you can change the start and end time of a song in itunes but that does not save the file to only reflect that period of time. Is there a way in itunes to do that or is there another program I can get to do that for me?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I use Sound Studio, an excellent commercial audio program for the Mac. However if you are only doing a few edits and you want to try out a free open source audio program you could have a look at this one: Audacity

  • ITunes music files cannot be edited, and new music files imported.  The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system.

    Since installing the latest version of iTunes all my music files cannot be edited, and I cannot import new music files into iTunes.  The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system.  If anyone can help me sort this out I would be really grateful.  I have checked the read and write privileges for all the iTunes folders and it all seems in order so I can't understand it.
    In general, I am getting really frustrated with Apple.  They seem to be getting ever more controlling in their approach to their consumers.  I need to edit music file information as I am a dj.  And why can't I import music, unless I buy it from iTunes?  Most of all, why can't I use the devices I paid a lot of money for in the way I want to use them, and not be forced to coerced to use apple's fee paying services (iCloud, iTunes).
    I have used apple computers since the early 1990's, but in the last year I have gotten rid of my iPhone and my iPad and replaced them with Android devices.  Much better and much less control.  Perhaps it is time to switch from Apple altogether.

  • What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

    What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
    I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

    MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

  • My music won't sync and unkown music files

    #1-i have ringtones and test music files that appear in my music files and i dont know where they come from. #2-I also have voice files for maps in my music files. ironically though, the voice files are not working with maps....i want to remove them from my playlist but they are not showing up in the ovi suite

    probably best to connect it in mass storage mode then remove the files that way, where did the voice files come from? ovi maps doesn't do voice navigation on the n900.

  • Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

    Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
    Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
    Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

    Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

  • Can Final Cut Express edit Final Cut Pro files

    I have some Final Cut Pro files that I created while working for someone else, if I buy Final Cut Express, will I be able to open and edit them?
    There basic files, nothing real fancy if that matters...
    Thanks!

    Officially no. It may work, but you're rolling the dice. The newer the version of FCP the less likely it is to work.

  • How to Edit and Replace Psd Files in Adobe Flash - Help!

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to flash and I am trying to build my first flash site using a flash template. I can use flash to edit certain components like header text, etc. But The content is impossible for me to change. I think that these are psd files, which I can open with gimp or another program and edit. I save and replace that file, but when I view movie again, the content is the same. I guess what I need to know is how to get these files back into my flash movie after I have edited them. Please help, I am no computer expert, but I am learning. A how to for dummies answer would be awesome.

  • Alright guys I need some help here with itunes and my music files

         Basically, I've had two apple accounts in the past like 4 years.  One day I connect my Ipod touch to my computer and downloaded an update from Itunes, not knowing that it erases all your content.  I didnt have my music files backed up either, so I ended up losing over $300 worth of music and apps.  Ever since then I never updated my touch, from the fear of losing my music.  Now that I have my own apple account, I have music files from the first account and my account.  My question is how can I back both of these groups of files up and update my ipod without losing any of this content!?  I would really appreciate a step by step process etc.  Thanks guys for helping me out!

  • HT3847 Using 'Grand Perspective' to see my files, I have both iTunes media and iTunes music files.  It seems I have 'organised' my media, but should or need there still be both types of files?  I am running out of HD space and thought, maybe, 'merging' .

    I'm trying to free up disk space.  When I look at my files using 'Grand Perspective' (Like 'Disk Inventory X'), I see songs in both iTunes music and iTunes media files.  I'm wonder if there is some kind of duplication between them.  Could I find HD space by doing something with these files?  I've already 'organised' them using the iTunes library feature.  But I note that it seems that organizing could leave the old (?) files in their 'original place'.  That sounds to me like duplication.
    I'm not at all a 'techie' so don't know where to go from here.

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

    Hello,
    I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
    Thank you for help.

    Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
    The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

  • Export pdf    how to edit and save converted files

    I finally was able to convert to docx format, but see no way to use the converted file.  How can I edit and save in jpeg format?

    Hi Chuck,
    Please tell me what the problem is with the converted file. Are you unable to edit it, or did it not convert as you expected?
    Can you tell me how the PDF was created? (Different applications write PDF files differently, and some aren't as good as others--that can affect conversion).
    Best,

  • Editing and saving RAW files as JPEGs

    Hi there
    I'm using Windows XP with PE5.
    I don't know if this is a PE5 or my PC problem. I shoot using (Canon) RAW format. These pics I then edit and save in either PNG or TIFF. However, I don't seem able to "save as" JPEG (from PNG or TIFF) in that when I select "save as" I do not get the JPEG option in the drop down list of available file types.
    I originally got an error message stating "PE5 was either in use or there is an error on the hard drive". PE5 was definitely not in use elsewhere.
    According to the PC's manufacturers tech support team, I will have to restore the PC which obviously I wish to avoid!!!
    Can anyone help with this please?

    The JPEG format does not support 16 bit images. You need to convert to 8 bit first.

  • Edit and save pdf files

    I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.3.  When I now try to edit forms that were previously downloaded, I can no longer save the edited form.  If I understand previous questions, I need to buy Acrobat Reader in order to edit and save the pdf files?

    A product with the name Acrobat Reader doesn't exist. With Adobe Acrobat you can fill and save forms.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.

    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
