Export songs in mp3 to sd card

How can I export my Itunes (mac) library to an sd card in mp3 format?
thank you

What you want to do won't be pretty but things never are when you try to do things iTunes isn't really designed to do.
Convert the tracks to mp3 format if they are not already in that format.  If you do convert you will end up with many duplicates in multiple formats.

Drag the mp3 tracks you select in the iTunes window to the card open in a window in Finder.  If you want these in a folder on that card you may find you cannot drag directly to the folder but will have to drag to the top level first, then move to the folder as a separate step.

  • Can't export songs as mp3's from new garage band=

    In the early versions of garage band i could export my songs as mp3 files on my desktop.

    mp3 export is not currently an option for GBv10, though it's not difficult to still create an mp3 formatted file:

  • Export in MP3 to SD card

    My car has two slots for SD cards with music. The cards must be formatted in FAT32 with songs in MP3 format. If I create a Playlist with auto tunes, how would I export this in MP3? I figure I can get them on an SD using some sort of reader. I've gone thru iTunes and just can't find a command to export

    Razzman,
    I have a similar setup. You can drag and drop files directly from the iTunes Library main window to the SD Card as it shows in the Finder.
    In my setup i have an SD card named 'PODCASTS'. I just drag and drop songs from iTunes Library Window to the SD Card icon in the Finder, and it copies them onto the card.
    Just size the main iTunes window so you can see your SD card on the desktop to the right. You can drag and drop things from iTunes right onto the SD icon in the Finder.
    Fat32 has a limited number of files it can take at the top level directory, so you might want to create folders on the card and put the songs in there. I can get hundreds more songs on an SD card that way, and my Sony car stereo treats the folders as 'Albums'.
    Good luck!

  • Exporting Itune songs onto a compact flash card

    New member, new owner of iPod. Is it possible to export songs onto a CF card? How about iTunes purchases? If it is possible, how do you do it?
    Thanks

    You should be able to export the music files onto a CompactFlash card the same way you would copy any other files. You just need to find where the files are on your hard drive (which should be your iTunes music folder.)

  • Exporting song to disc - strange problem with MP3

    This works fine more than 9 times out of 10, but once in a while, when I try to export a podcast episode as an MP3, GB does the mixdown and normalizes, but does not convert it to an MP3.
    The settings are exactly the same as they were for the many other exports I've done successfully. I've tried restarting the SW, even rebooting the computer, to no avail. I've also tried changing he setting to export an MP4, and that works just like it's supposed to, but I don't want an mp4.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the response.
    The Garageband file is called
    conversation with isak revised.band
    The original conversation with isak.band worked just fine. I made a minor revision, saved the new file with the revised tag, then tried to export/convert it mp3. That's when it wouldn't convert or save the the mp3.

  • My EZ Vinyl Converter software won't export songs to ITunes

  • I would like to export a playlist to an sd card, how is this done?

    I would like to export a playlist to an sd card, how is this done?

    The playlist? Or the songs on the playlist?
    Assuming it's the playlist only: File -> Library -> Export playlist
    You can export to a file in different formats.
    If it's the songs:
    Create  folder on the desktop. Select the songs you want to export, drag them from the iPhoto window to the folder. Copy that to the Card.

  • Export songs in an iTunes playlist

    I would like to burn MP3 CDs to listen in my car. The songs that I like to listen are mostly in the playlists in my iTunes library, in which all my songs are in AIFF format. I can certainly convert the format of the songs to MP3, then how do I organize those converted MP3 songs with artist-alburm-title and, when reached around 700MB, burn into a CD? After conversion in iTunes, the MP3 songs are scattered in various folders, and manually find all of them is very inconvenient.
    Alternatively, is there a way to export all the songs in a playlist to another place in my hard disk (out of iTunes folder), while preserve the ID3 tag in each song? Then I can use MAX to convert them to MP3.
    Thanks much for your time.

    Good idea! However what I would like to achieve is to organize the MP3 songs in an artist-alburm-title folder structure so that when I listen in my car, I can easily navigate through the hundreds of songs on the 700MB CD. The little software iTunesExport does a nice job to extract songs from my iTunes playlist and export to another place in my hard drive and "retain iTunes structure", i.e. preserve the artist-alburm-title folder structure of those songs. Then I use Max to convert those songs (still in AIFF format) to MP3. Max also preserve the folder structure. It's a two step solution. I wish I could find a way to do this in one step - export songs in my iTunes playlist as MP3 to another place in my hard drive (or CD directly) while preserving the artist-alburm-title folder structure.

  • Library icon changed to an "Export songs list" list named "live" ?

    I was converting a playlist named "LIVE" to MP3 and afterwards I found my Library was replaced by a export song list with a new icon named "live". This new folder still contains all the songs that were in my original "Library".
    What happended to Library in the source list and can it be corrected?

    First off, you say you purchased a 5th gen. iPod. Since the latest version is the clip-on 6th gen., I wonder if that's what you mean, or did you get a used (or old, but never used) 5th gen.? You might also check the OS requirements for the iPod you have, and see if the version of iTunes is compatible with your OS. I had to upgrade my OS to go from my old Classic 160 to a new Nano 6th gen.
    As you have guessed, the exclamation mark means that even though you have a particular song in your iTunes library, the file that it points to is no longer where iTunes thinks it should be. This may be because iTunes is confused (in which case you would resolve the confusion), or it's gone (in which case you need to get a new copy, or remove the song from iTunes if you don't want to keep it). I'm not a Windows guy, and I'm not at my home computer where I can try this out, but if I remember correctly, you can have iTunes gather all the music files on your computer and move them (or copy them) to the place where iTunes expects them to be. On a Mac, that's HD>Users>My User Name>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. If you don't want to let iTunes do that, you can move all the music files you find to that folder yourself.
    Once all the music is there, you can delete the songs from iTunes and import them again (directing iTunes to the folder you just gathered. Make sure you are signed into your iTunes account (in the Store pull-down window—not the Store tab on the left). Songs from the iTunes store can be downloaded again (if you don't have them anymore), provided you are signed in. If a store purchase is on one of your iPods, but not in iTunes, iTunes can detect and download those again, but the limit for devices is 5, so don't waste them if you don't need to.
    More detailed info can be found in the manuals (download here).

  • How do I download /export my iPhotos to a memory card on my camera?

    I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives. I can not find how to Export photos to a new memory card in my camera.
    The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
    The iPhoto help manuals & Apple site helps don't address this exporting, only how to export to Email & the web.
    I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small!
    Mille Grazie, Gracias, Merci, Danka

    PS - My camera is a Canon Power Shot A590. Last time this was discussed was in 2006, & suggested to "buy a usb plug in card reader & drag photos ..."
    Still the answer since Canon Camera's will not mount to the desktop
    I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives.
    Why? memory cards are not very reliable - using Time Machine and an external hard drive is a MUCH better way to backup - I run TM so I have hourly backups - do a daily bootable clone - ane I never have iPhoto delete my photos when I import them so I have the originals too - and if you really want a backup on your memory card this is the way to have one - do not delete when importing
    The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
    This is user error - not in any way a function of backing up to an external Drive - a properly done backup and restore gives you exactly what you had whe you did the backup - that is the whole purpose of a backup - and it works perfectly if done correctly
    I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small
    this is a very cofussed set of statements
    1 - no backup "changes the size" of the photos - the entire purpose of a backup is to have an exact copy available in case of problems
    2 - Most backups do not zip photos - some do - zipping does not change the content when you unzip
    3 - DPI is not an atribute of a photo - it is a mathmatical caculation - dots (pixels) divided by inches - you do not have DPI until you have inches (either a display or a print)
    4 - the only way to "change" DPI is ot change inches - for a given photo the only way DPI can be increased is by printing a smaller photo - decreasing inches
    5 - the KB of a photo is not material - the only things that is interesting is the pixel dimensions - and you can not make them larger
    Basically you are chasing the wrong things - buy an external drive formatted Mac OS extended that is 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive and run Time Mahcine all the time with its default settings

  • How can I get iTunes to convert my songs to MP3's again and not this AAC version. I need them in MP3's for my spicing software.

    I use a spicing program that does not support iTunes.  I need to be able to convert my songs to MP3's.  I was able to do that from my old laptop but now that I have a new one and everything is converted to the new one I noticed that the MP3 is not on there it is now AAC.  Does anyone know how to convert to MP3's now?  I am in the same version of iTunes but it is not the same.  ODD and FUSTRATING!!

    Change the default encoder to MP3. iTunes will then give you the option to convert any unprotected file in your library to MP3; this won't work with very old iTunes Store purchases.

  • How to export photos from ipad to sd card

    For some reason my ipad doesn't recongize readers attached.  Or maybe a better question is how do I know if ipad recognizes reader? How do I export photos from ipd to SD card?

    You can only use the kit to copy photos from a card (or direct from a camera) to the iPad's Photos app, you can't use it to copy content off the iPad.
    To copy photos to the iPad via the kit, then if you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer then you will need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    To copy photos taken with the iPad, copied to via the kit or saved from emails/websites etc from the iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.
