GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

Hello again,
Another question...
I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
Thanks!

However, does this alter the source file at all
no
does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second

  • I can't import MP3 files - why?

    I'm new to iTunes, and am wondering why I can't permanently import MP3 files that are currently on a DVD into my iTunes library. (Right now, iTunes will only recognize the songs when the DVD is in the computer). Is there any way that I can permanently move them into my iTunes library, so that I can then download the songs to my iPod?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I'm sorry for all the questions, but when I previously tried to add the files from the DVD to iTunes library (using the File -> Add file (or Folder)command), it created new folders in my iTunes library for the files, but they were empty. So, when I tried to download everything from iTunes into my iPod, the iPod said that the songs "couldn't be found". That's why I was so upset --after spending two hours thinking that I was importing selected songs into my iTunes, I learned that I was really only creating empty folders for them...!

  • I Can't 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 !!!

    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

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • Import mp3 file to imovie

    i cannot import mp3 files to imovie - i tried via itunes but the files do not show up and cannot be dragged. any suggestion? thank you

    I have the same problem and read your response and cannot make any sense of it.
    What is the "apps area of itunes"?
    How about this? For some unknown reason, Apple requires your audio clips to be in itunes first , which is ridiculous.
    And when you put them in, imovie won't recognize them. That is just bad design all the way around. Mine are in mp3 and something called m3a, and neither is recognized by this terribly designed program

  • Help! can't import mp3 files

    hello,everyone. I'm a new logic user and I met several problems when i first used logic 7.2.3.
    One problem is that i cannot import mp3 files, when i do so, the logic tell me 'Permission was denied, probably due to insufficient access rights.' Another problems is that everytime i pressed the record button, there will always be 2 seconds to wait before the logic starting record, though the cursor is moving. Sometimes it is useful but sometimes i don't need time to wait. What can i do to cancel the wait time?
    well, i am a foreigner and english is not my mother tongue, so maybe i cannot express myself clearly. Advanced thanks for you.

    Hi,
    The reason your mp3 cannot be imported is the following:
    The mp3 is locked, and does not allow the operation to happen.
    Try this:
    1. COPY the mp3 file onto your hard drive.
    2. in your finder, look up your mp3. press "apple+i" for the file info to be displayed.
    3. look at the bottom of the info pane that pops up, and CHANGE the permissions for everyone to "read+write"
    4. CLOSE the info pane, and then try to import the mp3 inot Logic. It should now import normally.
    Cheers

  • Problems importing .mp3 files to itunes

    I'm having problems importing .mp3 files to itunes, it's importing the song name tage with "artist - song title" when it should just be the song title?

    Chad, 
    Glad to hear that Steve's script was helpful.
    As to the bug, I don't know.  The problem you report is not common.  Usually when iTunes displays artist-title in the Name field, it is either an untagged MP3 or a WAV file, but in those cases it does not correct itself when you give it a kick.  Between that and the non-refresh problem you report, I think there is something else going on besides a tagging issue.  At your convenience, you may want to reinstall the newest iTunes, and see if it helps.
    Anyway, enjoy the music!
