Flash import mp3 distorts start of track

Hi friends - I've been importing a large number of mp3 clips
into Flash CS3 using the import to library option. Some of the
clips suffer distortion of the audio at the begining of the clip.
The clips are mostly voice over, typically "wow, that's cool" and
the initial word appears to get flattened during import. It doesn't
always happen, but it's not limited to multiple file imports
occurring even on single file imports.
All the clips have been been normalised and exported from
Audacity prior to importing. If you have any idea of what causes
this problem or have experienced the same, please post a response.
Cheers

I've no idea what was causing this, but it looks to have corrected its self and doesn't appear to be doing it anymore

Problem with transition between tracks of imported mp3 compilation

We publish audio travel guides. I just received 17 mp3 files from our sound engineer and imported them into iTunes and set them as a compilation. I then manually moved them to my G4 iPod.
There is a problem with the end of track 1 and the beginning of track 2.
When we played back from the iPod, about 6 seconds before the end of track 1, it skipped fwd to the start of track 2.
When I played from iTunes (Windows Vista), track 1 was fine, but track 2 started about 4 seconds in.
I set track to to start playing at 0:00 and it still skipped.
argh!

To fully test this, burn to a disk. The length of such pauses varies.
Also, consider ceating the "transition" as a motion menu with a loop point.

Flash CS5 will not import mp3 files

With the latest Flash program and the latest Quicktime version, I still can not import mp3 files to my Flash.
No reason is given, it only tells me it can't be done.
elliejo

that's usually an mp3 setting problem. open your mp3 in audio editing software and resave.

GarageBand 11 - my track won't let me select, as I did with GB '08. Also unable to change tempo and pitch of imported MP3 songs.

I have a Mac desk top. I think my operating system is IOSx 6. Snow leopard. II used to have GarageBand 08 and was able to select my imported MP3 audio, as well as change the tempo and pitch of a song. GarageBand 11 is not allowing me to do any of that. I am at my wits and end and thinking about buying an expensive editing program since I have spent hours researching, to no avail. I used to use the AU pitch option in '08 version but I can't even see options to edit MASTER TRACK, in order to select AU PITCH from the drop down menu.

BUG: Unable to Import MP3 Files in Flash CS6

I am unable to import mp3 files of any kind in Flash CS6. Tried import to stage, import to library, Drag and Drop... no dice. Receiving a generic error message. Tried closing out and restarting,etc. - still not working.
Anyone else having this issue?

Yep that worked!
The "update" in the library would not update the content but the drag and drop worked fine.
Note: The path in the update dialog shows a relative path and after the drag and drop it shows an absolute path to the file
I also had an issue with the audio being changed from stream to event.

FAQ: Unable to import MP3 files in Flash Professional CS6

If you are unable to import mp3 files in Flash Professional CS6, ensure that you update QuickTime(7.7.1) and iTune(10.5.3.3) versions. This is necessary to import .mp3 files of bitrates higher than 192kbps.

Yep that worked!

Couldnt Import .MP3 into Flash CC

I am exporting a .MP3 from Adobe Audition CC
Then Importing it into Flash CC
I receive the error message Couldnt Import .MP3
This procedure has worked in the past but now does not work. If you know what may be the issue please let me know
Thanks

There was an older issue with Flash CS6 where any MP3 with a bitrate over 192kbit could not be imported unless both QuickTime and iTunes were installed to the latest version (on Windows). Do you also have iTunes installed and updated?
I don't think anyone got to the bottom of why iTunes was needed but many people couldn't import MP3 with the same error until they did. You might want to try that.
The only MP3 workaround was to import directly to library instead of stage and play it in a timeline layer, but some could only hear it during published playback (no preview).
Of course an alternate workaround is to simply use a different format. There's still something going on with MP3, which is a bit surprising considering how common it is. I would recommend trying WAV or AIFF as a workaround for now if iTunes/QuickTime updating doesn't fix it.

Unable to import MP3s sometimes

I have GB4 with the latest updates (I guess that makes it GB 4.1 then) and I've noticed that I can't import MP3s sometimes. I can't figure out why, other than to conclude that it's a bug.
I can actually import any MP3 ok, be it from the filesystem or or from the browser within GB. It shows a progress bar, and also another saying "converting" I think, before adding the track. After it is imported, I can play it and such. I can also look inside of the bundle and see that there is a .aif version of the MP3 in the Media directory. So, it all sounds good so far.
Well, the problem starts as soon as I Save the project. As soon as I do that, the corresponding .aif file is deleted from inside the media directory, in the project's bundle. However, if I keep working, the track continues to play fine. The problem only is noticeable if I close the project, or quit, and try to open it again. When I do that, sure enough, GB complains that it can't find the corresponding .AIF file, and prompts with a dialog asking if I want to "skip" or "search"
Choosing either option of course, makes no difference. the end result is that the project opens, and there is a "file not found" label on the segment pertaining to that imported track. So, that in turn means when you try and play, that track won't be heard, as it has no file associated with it.
The odd thing, is that some MP3 files do seem to import ok. Oh, and before you ask, they all are mp3's with the lowercase .mp3 extension. I can always tell if it does, because the progress bar is much shorter, and as far as I can tell, it's actually skipping the "conversion" step. How a good file is represented in the media folder is that you have the actual MP3 file added, along with another file with the same name, but with a .oww extension. I don't know what this file is for. However, if a file is imported in this manner, when I Save the project, sure enough, both the MP3 and the .oww file are not erased from the media directory. And of course, if I reopen the project, it is able to open that track successfully.
So, I'm at a loss. I know that all imported files must be 44 Khz files, and as far as I can tell, both the ones that seem to work and fail, are 44 KHz files. I thinkt the one that did work correcly did have a higher bit rate than some others, at 160 Kib/s, but I doubt that the bit rate makes any difference.
I haven't tried converting the ones that don't "stick" by converting to AIF manually and importing the AIF to see if it sticks, but I would guess it would. I think all hte AACs that I've tried importing always work, so as far as I know so far, it's only a problem with MP3 files.
Another thing worth noting, I'm using a network level account, that isn't an admin account. Also, my home directory resides on an NFS share, that's mounted at boot time, but a network share shouldn't matter. But I was thinking that maybe there's a bug that may be exacerbated when using this feature as a non-admin account.
So, GB devs/Apple support, if you're reading this, I urge you to test your products with non-admin users and network accounts, such as mine. I have been using OSX in this configuration since 10.0, and over the years I have seen software that has made some bad assumptions of applications location, home directory location, HFS filesystem, etc. So, I urge you to test your software with these configurations as well, as people like me do have these setups, however rare they may be.

One thing I forgot to add. When importing an MP3 that won't work, I do see lines logged in console.log that say "Unsupported MP3 file" So, apparently that means that some MP3 files are unsupported, but really if that were the case, why would it even allow me to import it in the first place? If it were really unsupported, shouldn't it produce a dialog saying such, and cancel the import process? As it is, it's far worse, since it's importing it, so you think it's compatible. Then next time you open the project you realize it silently deleted that import.

Help with importing mp3s into iTunes

Hi, I'm running the newest version of iTunes and having problems loading mp3s into the library in correct order. I'm not sure how the mp3s i want to import are tagged, but when i import them, iTunes arranges them automatically by song name (alphabetically) and loses the track order.
1) how do i import them keeping the same track order (in future)?
2) how can i re-order the existing ones i've imported into the library already as efficiently as possible (without going into the 'get info' option and adding track numbers for each of the separate tracks (i have several thousand like this - they are mainly live concerts)?
Many thanks for any help, its much appreciated!

You don’t say quite enough to be sure if I am being helpful or how much you know, but …
Start in the library window with browse on and select an album. (Click on the little eye, upper right of screen if you don’t see the browser).
You can then use “Get info” to inspect some of your imported tracks for that album. If you click on the info tab, you should see a field for track number. If you have a correct track number in this field, you should be able to sort by track number.
If you don’t see a Track # column to sort on, you and bring it into view by right clicking on the header row (Name, Artist, Album etc) and then checking Track number.
You can sort on any column by clicking the header.
I ripped all my CDs with Free Realplayer and imported the tracks into iTunes when I got an iPod – all the track numbers were already correct.

I get an error when trying to import MP3 files in iTunes?

When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
(I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
Thanks in advance for any help !!!

Imported mp3 file of 6 Mb increased FLA by 47 Mb

Imported an mp3 file of 6 Mb and the FLA file increased by 47
Mb.
Compressed and saved - no result. Removed mp3, compressed
FLA, imported
MP3 - same story. Is this supposed to be like that? If not ho
do I sort this
out?

create a new empty fla (say soundAssets.fla) and add all the sounds to its library. in (advanced) properties, tick "export for actionscript" and "export in frame 1" and set class name.
in publish settings, tick "export SWC" in "flash" tab and then publish swf. this will produce a soundAssets.swf and soundAssets.swc file - you just need the swc
finally, in your main fla, goto actionscript settings and in "library path" tab, add the swc by clicking on the + sign and then the flash symbol (f).
now you can reference the sounds by class as before but they are stored in another fla. each time you change the sounds in soundAssets.fla, you will need to republish the swc

Can't import mp3

can't import mp3 made in Sounbooth cs5 to Flash cs5 ? Help is needed ?

Flash gives an error that "Couldn't import xyz.mp3" that's it.
I posted this message in 2010 when I was having the same problem with CS4. But then it was working fine with CS5, but now the problem is back ?
From 2010...
I am using Flash and Soundbooth CS4, I have been working in XP and in Vista. Just moved to Win7 and now the same MP3s we have been using for years will not import to Flash. We have always used Sample Rate 48000 mono and Bitrate 48 Kbps mono. I downloading the trial version of Audition CS5 and with the same Sample Rate and Bitrate the files import fine. Another gentlemen that works with me verified the same issue on his Win7 machine. I bought the eLearning Suite that comes with Soundbooth, so I would not like to have to purchase Audition.
Any other ideas on this are very much appreciated.

1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

Suddenly I can't import mp3

Hey!
All of the sudden I can't import any mp3 in my spotify playlists no more.When I try to drag and drop something into my playlist or local data nothing happens,I think it doesn't even recognize the data as mp3 because there is not the little "+" icon while I move the mp3 over spotify.It began a couple of days ago and I can't figure out why and didn't find any information on that online. Anybody got advice? because that sucks big time :D!Greetz!

Did anyone figure out the 'import MP3' problem?I ripped a CD into Windows Media (making sure that it was ripped as MP3) and nothing I do will make it playable in Spotify. The tracks are showing as greyed out in Local Files - and greyed out in playlists too - but when I click to play, I get the message: 'This tracks was added as a local file. If you have the file on your computer you can import it.'I tried adding the source, but it just won't work - and, of course, the import option has now been removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
