Error converting songs to AAC

So I was converting all the songs on my iPod to AAC to try and save some space and it converted about 600 songs no problem but it got to my Pendulum album, Hold Your Colour, and it was still doing fine til it got to one song (Blood Sugar) and I got this error message *'iTunes could not copy "Blood Sugar" to your iPod because an unknown error occured (-50).'*
I know song and album names aren't important, I just thought it'd make it clearer
Thanks for any help in advance.

Bump.
If no-one knows how to fix this then does anyone know a way around it so that I can carry on converting the rest of the songs on my iPod but still keep the Blood Sugar song on my iPod?

  • Error (-50) while converting songs to AAC in iTunes.

    I was converting my songs from mpeg to AAC in the iTunes software (not another application) and found a whole bunch of songs that weren't AAC. So I looked through and found some songs that couldnt convert, with the error message saying, "Error occured while converting the file, "Stand Up." An unknown error occured (-50)." Help me

    You won't get any benefit converting from MP3 to AAC, both are lossy compression formats and you could even end up with a file of lesser quality by converting from one lossy format to another. Converting to AAC won't add any more information to the MP3 file than is already there. However to convert any type of audio file in iTunes 8 you first have to change your import settings in iTunes>Preferences>General, choose the Import Settings button. Once you have chosen your setting (AAC for instance) highlight the track you want to convert and go to Advanced>Create AAC version.

  • Problems converting song from AAC to MP3 in iTunes

    hi,
    I have just downloaded some songs from the iTunes store and they download in the AAC format, I usually right hand click on a song and convert it to MP3 file, however I have one song "animal by neon trees" that it keeps coming up with an error but it says it is an unknown error. this is what it says
    error occured while converting the file "animal". an unknown error occurred (-3)
    has anyone else encountered this issue??
    please help
    ps. i have the latest version of itunes, i have also converted other songs today not a problem.

    Hi affilgraph,
    Yes, it can be done. First, go to iTunes preferences, choose "Advanced", click on the "Import" Tab and select "MP3 encoder" next to "Import Using". Close the window. Now select the files in questions, go to the "Advanced" menu and choose "Convert selection to MP3". However, if your files are already encoded to AAC this will not decrease the size of your library significantly AND you will lose sound quality. In addition, converting your library in one go might bring your computer to its knees risking data loss. So, I would recommend buying a bigger HD instead.

  • What actually happens when u convert songs to AAC?

    Will I save more space on hard drive?
    Is sound quality good/bad?
    Can they still be burned etc as often as normal?

    Convert from what? If you convert from one lossy format (e.g. mp3) to another such as AAC, you will lose additional sound quality.
    I rip my CDs into .aac 192 kbps because this format, in general, will sound as good as a higher kbps mp3 but will be smaller. However, if you regularly burn mp3 disks or move files to devices that don't support .aac (though many do, including Zunes and PSPs), this may not be the format for you.
    I would suggest that you rip a CD/track with which your familiar in both formats and different bit rates and see what you think is the best balance between size and quality.
    Best of luck.

  • Converting WAV files to AAC  Error convert Can't read from or write to disk

    For several weeks I had no problem converting WAV files (from an Olympus Digital Recorder) to AAC format in iTunes, then one day I clicked "Convert Selection to AAC" and received the message "Error occured while converting the file. The disk could not be read from or written to." There is no Error # associated with the Error message.

    I recently spent over 14 hours converting all my CD songs to WAV. WAV conversion was the only one of two options available with my older Nero software, and MP3 conversion was not an option. I intended to make mixed CD's. By the time I was done, I had over 300 songs that take up over 17 GB in this WAV format.
    The thought of sitting even more endless hours making these CD's made me even more exhausted, and I realized that I should get with the times and get an MP3 player. So, I bought an iPod directly from Apple two days ago (12/16), and get this, MaclessInAZ, the sales person told me that I all my WAV files could be imported into my iPod with iTunes. (!!!)
    I am very glad to have read this thread before I got my iPod. I would have been so upset if there was no easy solution. My new iPod is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, and I am looking forward to getting it. Many thanks to weavercs for the information on the Switch program that converts WAV to MP3. Even if I decide to buy the full version of Switch, it is a lot less expensive than other conversion programs that I just found online, like Roxio.

    "I have been able to convert to AAC by first converting to AIFF  and then to AAC. This is a pan though."
    this worked for me.

  • Itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

    itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

    iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

  • HT1473 I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip?

    I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip. I ripped new CDs I bought using Windows Media Player and they are saved on my C drive. I have done this before but cannot do it now.

    If you want to play them in iTunes, choose "Convert."  This will allow iTunes to create new AAC versions and add those new versions to your iTunes library.
    The original WMA files will still be in the folder(s) wherever they currently are.  iTunes will ignore the WMAs once it has the converted versions.  It is then up to you if you wish to keep or delete your WMA origninals.

  • Converting Songs to 128kbps and AAC

    How do you convert songs to 128kbps and to an AAC format?

    1) Confirm you import settings are set to the desired format. In ITunes go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing than select in your case ACC encoder and the desired bitrate.
    2) Highlight the desired songs to be converted using shift (Music store songs will not convert but they would be in this format anyways) than right click and say Convert Selection to ACC.

  • ITunes will not convert file to AAC, please help.

    I have a rather large file, an audiobook to be precise. It is in .mp3 format and is approximately 8.5 hours long. I would like to convert it to AAC but iTunes does not seem to want to convert it. It seems to convert the file until the last few seconds and then stops, coming up with the error message:
    'Error occurred while converting the file "File Name". An unknown error occurred (-50).'
    As soon as I click the 'okay' button, it deletes the AAC file and I'm left with nothing. I've tried several times before and after restarting my computer and also I've converted smaller song files (3-4 minutes)successfully.
    I'm using the latest iTunes and I am using Windows Vista. I have a strong suspicion that my problem is something to do with either the file length or perhaps the file has a fault in it. However, before I take action to resolve this I would like to know if there is any possibility it is an error with my iTunes.
    Thank you for helping. =)

  • Convert selection to AAC (iTunes 5)

    After inserting a CD and then trying to covert selection to AAC I get the message "Could not convert the selected songs. The songs may be write-protected or of the wrong type" and then "Eror occured while converting the file. An unknown error occured (-48).
    This never happened in previous version and yes I've tried various CDs - all give the above message?

    You don't select the songs on a CD and then convert selection to AAC. You click on the Import button in the top right corner of the winder.

    In ITunes,
    my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
    on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
    songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
    synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
    about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
    library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
    an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

    This is good for me but what happened?
    I don't understand the question...  Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
    It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing.  That takes much longer than just syncing the songs. 
    Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting.  For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality.  You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.

  • Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles?

    I must be losing my mind!
    Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles in earlier versions of itunes? Before 7.x?

    it's still there (at least it is on mine). Connect the shuffle and go to it's Settings tab."Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" is in the Options section at the bottom.
