Formating Itunes Music Into wav File

Hello, I am trying to utilize the music from my iTunes library in other programs, like Windows Movie Maker, but it does not support that type of file. It does support like wav files, but I don't know how to re-format my songs?
Any ideas would be so helpful!!
Thank you,
Jennifer

You need to burn a CD and then use the CD to import songs into your movie making application. I have to do that with Pinnacle 10, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, and Liquid Edition. Makes for expensive stuff unless you are burning your music to CD anyway. Otherwise I purchase CD's from Walmart or other places that I can import into the Windows Media Player (make it your default) and then let iTunes import them if you want to update your iPod. It's a pain - not sure why they won't fix that problem because they are loosing my iPod Store business. Besides - sometimes Walmart is cheaper anyway. Look at it this way - at least you didn't copy over 300 CD's into iTunes only to find out that you can't use that format for the movie making apps. Now I have to import them all again using Windows Media Player... pain.

  • Can I manually edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file

    Here's why.
    Noticed on my Apple TV that there were a number of podcasts that when selected would say "Apple TV cannot play the current song".
    Looked in iTunes and these podcasts are no where to be found. Did some searches in Spotlight and also, turned up zeros. Not found.
    I then looked directly into my iTunes Music Library.xml file and sure enough there are the records.
    What is odd is that the location of all the bad songs have a similar invalid path.
    Bad path.
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Podcasts/KQED/podcast.mp3</string>
    Correct Path
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/iTunes/Music/Podcasts/KQED'/podcast.mp3</string>
    Now, all of these have dates that lead me to believe this was due to an iTunes upgrade back in September of 2005. It doesn't look like they are causing problems with iTunes itself. However, it is quite annoying for my Apple TV.
    Question. Is there a different way to fix this than just manually removing the entries from the xml file?
    I haven't tried to edit the iTunes Music Library.xml file just yet as I want to make I don't totally screw things up first.

    I did some additional testing here and I deleted the track information from the iTunes Music Library.xml
    On start up of iTunes, it does not add the deleted file back in. On the Apple TV, it still shows the bad file.
    What I think that means is that even the Apple TV gets its playlist information from another source.
    I have also started on another track which is to remove all of my podcasts from iTunes. Which I have now done.
    The only ones left are these bad tracks that only show up in the iTunes Music Library.xml file and more importantly on my Apple TV.
    I'd put this on the podcast or the Apple TV thread, but still believe this is an iTunes issue.

  • The iTunes music library.itl file cannot be found or created?

    itunes 7 worked all day for me yesterday, but I have had this problem since last night where when I try to start it I get this message: "the iTunes music library.itl file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file is in the "itunes" folder in the "my music" folder. PLEASE HELP!

    there should also be a "Previous iTunes Libraries" in the itunes folder besides itunes music.
    if not, good luck making a new playlist

  • How to use itunes music into adobe premiere elemesnts video

    I want to use my itunes music into a adobe video.
    How can I transform the itunes music so I can use into the abode video?

    Try to use instructions for consolidating library from here, see if that helps. At some point I have noticed, especially with huge library it gets hard for itunes to keep information about different locations, unless you have external drive plugged permanently.

  • Itunes deleted my "Itunes Music Library.xml" file?

    Here are the facts (and then I'll pose the question):
    -Ipod 80gb Classic
    -Just upgraded to Itunes v. 7.4.2.4 (after following the pop-up window asking me to upgrade to the latest version)
    -Windows XP Pro
    -My "Itunes Music Library.xml" file and the "iTunes Library.itl" file are stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXX\My Documents\My Music\iTunes" but all of my music/tv shows/etc are stored in another location on my HD
    Here's the problem:
    After I upgraded Itunes, the "Itunes Music Library.xml" file and the "iTunes Library.itl" file were replaced with brand new blank files (10kb and 32kb, respectively). When I open Itunes, the library is blank. All of the music files are still on my hard drive in the other location, but they do not show up in Itunes.
    When I plug in my Ipod (which still contains all of the music), Itunes says "The Ipod "my ipod" is synced with another Itunes library...What would you like to do?"
    Here's my question:
    How do I get Itunes to show the proper content that is already on my ipod and on my HD? I just need my old Itunes music library files back.
    Thanks in advance.

    One point where this seems to occur consistently is if you reboot or turn off Windows while iTunes is running, and have a largeish music collection.
    Explanation: Programmatically, iTunes main window apparently responds OK (=TRUE) to the Windows WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and at the same time starts to write the *.ITL and *.XML files to the hard disk. Meanwhile, Windows continues to end the session because - after all - it was OK'ed by iTunes. Now, if the iTunes music library is "large enough", Windows will finish ending the session before iTunes has finished writing said files, and the next time you run iTunes they'll turn up corrupt. This is a huge caveat during iTunes reinstallation, because most of the time a reboot is needed whilst iTunes will necessarily be running at the same time (consequently, if you have a largeish music library, always back up the *.XML and *.ITL files before reinstalling or updating iTunes!!!!)
    This is nearly an elementary bug, and a sad indication of the level of testing done by the Apple to products before they're released.
    Workarounds: I myself just frequently backup the *.ITL and *:XML files to a different directory, and restore if file corruption occurs. Another workaround is to have another program (say, Notepad.exe) with an edited but unsaved file currently open. When Windows session ends, you will have one extra chance to delay the session end, so that either you remember to close iTunes first, or if iTunes was closed first, it'll have enough time to complete writing the library metadata back to disk.
    Asian and European phone giants have nothing to afraid about iPhone, if iTunes and iPod classic are any indication of its quality.

  • How do you make itunes not play wav files?

    I know how to make it play wav files but how do I remove it from the default player list? I want them to all play in Quicktime. I have done the right click, holt alt and press Always Open With... and also done the right click and specify it to open in Quicktime. I have done this on 3 different Macs with 2 different OSX versions. It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Do you mean, "goes back to iTunes"?  "A wav file," or the same wav file you just changed?
    Did you select the additional option in Get Info's Open With window to, "Change all of this kind to open with Quicktime"?

  • How Do I Convert iTunes Songs to .wav files

    Is there any way to convert iTunes downloaded music to .wav format so they can be used in Adobe Photoshop?

    If your purchases are the new DRM free files from EMI, simply change your import preferences to mp3, then right click on the song you wish to convert, then click on "convert to".
    If the purchase is not one of the new files, you can burn your purchase to an audio CD, that audio CD can be used like any CD you might purchase at your local store.

  • Why, when I bounce to iTunes, do my wave files show up with no sound?

    When I bounce wave files to iTunes the file has a time and the title shows up, but no sound when you double click on it. The time bar moves like its playing but no sound!!

    If you bounce as AAC or MP3, you will lose some quality. Better to bounce in AIF or WAV if you intend to burn to CD. Now, why you can't play it in iTunes or from finder, that is weird. Like someone suggested, try AIF format. That is all I use and I can play anywhere. When you go to "Get Info" in iTunes (for the song), does it have a time? You can also try opening the file (from your Bounced folder) into Audacity? It's a free app and very nice. You will be able to see the sound wave. This will verify that you actually have sound in the file.
    Let us know what you find.

  • ITunes "organized" my wav files.

    I have approximately 2000 wav files on an external hard drive. All the songs were imported using iTunes. Because of hardware issues, the internal HD was reformatted and the OS reinstalled. When I "add(ed them) to library" without "keep iTunes Music folder organized" checked, the songs appeared in the iTunes browser without the artist or album listed. So I checked the "keep iTunes Music folder organized." Well of course iTunes placed all the wav files in a single folder. It appears all album information and artist information was lost. Does anyone have any idea about how I might reorganize the files? Thank You.
    This is an obvious flaw in iTunes. Most likely easily correctable. I'm not sure why apple has not taken the time to fix this bug.

    Sorry - but seems to be a hard work to come.
    What about the nameing of the wav files? Did you originally select "Create file names with track number"?
    The problem in you case: while all track information are stored within mp3 + aac files as tags, those information will be store externally and linked to wav + aiff files: reformatting your hd erased that information.

  • How to convert iTunes songs into MIDI files?

    I want to copy an iTunes song and convert the copied song into a MIDI file. How do I do this?

    Can't be done...
    A MIDI file is a set of instuctions for making music. Play this note, then, for that long, on this particular instrument, with these settings. Multiplied by as many notes and instruments as are required. A MIDI file can be turned into music automatically. Turning music into the instructions to make it is, as far as I am aware, beyond the capabilities of current software.

  • ITunes update and WAV files

    I recently updated my iTunes and since then my WAV files playback very distorted. Not being a mac boffin I tried to retrieve my old iTunes through my timemachine. This told me that I didn't have enough privileges with iTunes to carry out the function.....now I can't access my iTunes at all. How can I sort this all out?

    I have a number of WAV files on my PC (from an Olympus digital recorder). Before iTunes version 8, the played just fine. Starting with version 8, they all play extremely noisy and choppy. I've tried playing selected files on Quicktime and they all play just fine. Clearly some sort of bug was introduced in version 8. Has anyone else encountered this?

    Yes, that problem with WAVs from voice recorders has been reported here several times. Haven't seen anything about a fix. Converting the files to MP3 will probably help.
