Glitch in AAC file: Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross

The song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (track 15 from "Diana Ross: All the Great Hits") has a glitch at 1:25 on the time counter. It is highly annoying and totally not acceptable! How does one get a refund/credit for the purchase or else a properly encoded copy?
It seems that there should be some type of quality control on the part of Apple with regards to the music they sell. Buying a mangled copy of a song is a very disappointing experience.
Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, I found something for you.

That's for twice downloaded songs, but I'm sure they'll do something is you explain your "glitch" in that song.

  • Ipod touch transfers memos as AAC files

    Hi All,
    I have an iPhone 3G and a 2nd gen iPod Touch.
    Using voice memos and syncing them to iTunes, the iPhone syncs the memos as Apple Lossless files (what I have set as my default import setting) and the iPod Touch always imports it's memos as AAC files.
    I am using the same microphone and, I believe both the iPhone and the iPod Touch record the files as WAV files. I have not changed and double checked that the settings were the same, in fact, I did back to back testing and syncing. Weird, right?
    I really need the iPod Touch to transfer the files either as WAV, AIFF or Apple Lossless because I am using the files for a documentary.
    Thanks,
    Lydia
    Does anyone have a clue as to why it is behaving so strangely.

    Voice memo files are recorded as MP4 files (actual extension is m4a). WAV files are not used by Apple. And while you have your CD import preferences set to Apple lossless, I don't believe that this setting is used to handle voice memos.
    If you need to convert the voice memo files to another format, there are literally hundreds of programs that can do that for you.

  • How to combine multiple purchased aac files into one aac file

    I recently purchased in iTunes an album consisting of 16 m4a files.  I ended up creating a playlist in iTunes for the songs.  I would like to create one m4a file which combines all and then play it in iTunes.  Is the copy protection preventing me from doing so?
    I know how to convert m4a files that I have converted to mp3 and combine them using Terminal with a cat command.  Then I import that combined file into iTunes.  All is well in this case.  I tried this with the 16 m4a files and I could not import the resultant mp3 file into iTunes.
    Any way to combine multiple purchased aac files?

    A simple way to accomplish the job, though not recommended is to print the 2 page file to a new PDF with multi-up (assuming you select vertical rather than horizontal locations) and adjust the paper in the Adobe PDF printer to be 8.5X22. At least you might give it a shot. Some variation, along with rotation possibly, might work.

  • How do I convert an MP4 file to an aac file

    i have converted some online videos to MP4 files. They are in my iTunes home movies folder but I can't hear them in my music play list. How do I make this happen? Do they need converting to aac files?

    If they are still movies with video then they won't appear under music in iTunes because they are movies.
    It is possible to use tools (e.g., MPEG Streamclip > save track ) to split audio and video tracks, leaving you with a file that is essentially .mp4 (audio) = aac = m4a  This should appear in iTunes under music.  You might find it works better if you change the file extension to ".m4a" instead of leaving it as .mp4 which iTunes may still interpret as a movie.

  • MP3 and AAC files mixed in burned Audio CD???

    Here is the story. I am new to iTunes and I have a 400Mhz G4 AGP Machine running OS 10.2.8 and have Quicktime 6.5.3 installed. I also have a 93 Gig HD and 512 megs of RAM and a Sony CRX160E iLink CD burner. I was running iTunes 3.0.1 for a little bit and just upgraded to 4.7.1 about a week or 2 ago. Can I mix "MP3" encoded tracks with "AAC" tracks. I think that I read in the help menu that I had to use the "Data CD" option instead of the Music CD option. But, if this is so, can I still play this CD in a regular CD player? since was encoded with MP3 and AAC and it is formated as a Data CD??? The reason I am asking is because I encoded a bunch of songs as MP3s in 3.0.1 as default and I understand that AAC files are of slightly better quality so, I wonder if it would be worth it for me to re-import my songs in "AAC" for consistency. Consistency is my main concern. I want to be able to burn CDs with little problems (although I have some issues but, that is a different story) and mix formats if I can.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Thanks for your help! I just burnt a CD with mixed formats and it played fine in a "newer" CD player. My home CD player is older (Circa 80s or 90s?) and I have been told that the older CD players either can't or, don't like CDRs. So, it played fine in my son's newer CD player but, not in my "older" player. I am not too sure about the difference in sound quality yet. I'll have to do some more testing. The MP3 files and AAC files both sounded well when played. One annoying thing, though is the volume issue. Most of the songs played at a similar volume but, one played quite softly. An annoying thing but, I understand that even if you use the "Sound check" option, the sound can vary due to the fact that iTunes has a "fast" way of reading the sound levels and could be inefficient. I will try "iVolume" to see if that helps. It is supposed to be pretty good for iTunes except for the version 7 that just came out.
    Thanks again,
    Larry

  • AAC files no longer work

    I have 865 AAC files which no longer work.
    These are in iTunes but no longer play. Can't really say when they quit but noticed it tonight and went thru them all.
    If I view them in the Finder, they don't play with Quicklook or by preview in the Finder window.
    No other application will play them (VLC, QuickTime).
    In the Finder, it shows them as an MPEG-4 Audio File. The extension is .m4a, which is an AAC.
    Icon is correct.
    In iTunes, when I get info, everything is on the left side of the Summary tab but right side is blank. It should have the Profile, channels and Encoded with: (iTunes and QT version).
    Looking at file properties in VLC, everthing except the name is blank (arist, genre, etc.).
    Bit rates are different (128, 160, 192, 256 VBR).
    Dates added and modified are from 2005 to a few weeks ago.
    Single songs to whole albums.
    Some iTunes DRM, some iTunes plus and some imported from CDs.
    I'm running 10.5.7 on the internal drive and my iTunes folder is on another drive on a 10.4.11 partiton.
    I have copies of these files on another drive and comparing them in the Finder, they have the same creation and mod dates. They are the same number of bytes.
    The only difference is one works and one doesn't.
    Ran Disk First Aid and Permissions repair on both drives.

    Not in figuring out what happened.
    I copied the files from a backup drive to the original drive replacing the files and everything works fine.
    Okay now, here's something really whack.
    I had dumped all the files into the trash but have not empied it yet.
    I installed 10.5.8 yesterday and it works great.
    However, now looking at the song files in the trash, they all play correctly with Quick Look (spacebar).

  • 2630 AAC File Format Not Supported!

    Hi folks, after much hair pulling, experimenting and googling...
    My new 2630 will not play AAC or M4A files. I'm using Nokia Music Manager and have had no problem transfering and playing mp3's (apparently the opposite problem to what most people have!) However, it gives me the option of 'convert to mobile optimised format?'. When I click 'yes', it changes the format to AAC, the file ends with .aac instea of .mp3, I can find the file in my phone, and yet if I try to play it is displays 'File Format Not Supported'. If I then go into details under format it says 'not available' and doesn't list length or copyright the way the mp3 files do.
    Seeing as aac files take up half the space I'm really hoping someone can help me out!
    Thanks,
    Annelise
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unfortunately the 2630 is a bit too basic to accept formats like AAC.
    It's not designed to be used as a music player so it only has a basic feature set and no option to add a memory card.
    If you are using mp3's as ringtones you could try reducing the bit rate and setting the file to mono by using another conversion program. Setting it to mono will reduce the file size by nearly 50%.

  • ITunes not picking up on tags from AAC files ripped using Toast 9

    I am trying to rip CD's into AAC files using Toast 9. When I import them into iTunes, they have next to no tags - only artist, album, and song title. I don't know if the problem is with iTunes or Toast 9 at this point. Is there a way I can see all the tags on a file outside of iTunes? Has anyone else had this problem? Of the discussion topic, but does anyone know how to make Toast 9 write the tags?

    Good question. I feel that Toast provides a better rip, at least that's what my ears tell me. It's looking more and more like I'll have to use iTunes, despite haiving bought Toast 9 just for ripping. As a guy just switching from PC I'm getting kinda frustrated with a lack of options. I have to say, Easy Media Creator works a lot better and more intuitively than Toast.

  • Create AAC files from ALAC

    I want to copy some files to a small 30Gig iPod, so do not want to sync large ALAC files over to it.
    I know it is possible to create AAC versions of the files, but that then leaves me with duplicates of all the songs on the library. I sync'd to the iPod and deleted all AAC files.
    It was then I realised, that not all my library is ALAC....I did already have some AAC files....which I had just deleted. I ended up doing a Time Machine restore of the complete Music/iTunes folder.
    I do not want to make that mistake again.
    Is there another way I can do this? All the songs I want to convert to AAC, sync and then delete are in a single playlist.
    I was thinking of maybe creating a new library of just AAC files, but how do I export just selected files. I cant seem to find any export files type options. If I could get all the files into a single folder, then I could create a new library and copy all that new folders contents into it.

    You might take a look at this script (courtesy of Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes):

  • Cannot add lyrics to AAC files on SMB share

    A really odd behavior. I cannot add lyrics to AAC files living on an SMB-mounted share that holds all of my songs. It works for MP3s, but whenever I add lyrics and press OK, or use an automatic lyric finding script, the pasted lyrics disappear. I know that the share is not write protected, and neither are the songs in question. I have no trouble adding new songs to that same volume.
    Any help or idea what to check for would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sortof figuring that but I can always hope - I just wish I could find some solid documentation that says yes/no... and I haven't been able to.....

  • Importing and Editing AAC files

    I am using Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 and have imported a 5.1 channel .aac file. I am, however, unable to edit that file in STP. I can see all 5 channels but they are all greyed out, meaning I cannot individually do anything with those tracks. When I copy and paste them in a new file, I get all five channels in one channel (five separate sound files but all on one track).
    Can anyone please help me how to edit each track separately?

    OKay I attempted to open the .aac file by choosing 'All Files' option and first I encountered this Error Message:
    Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks. Please use 'Fix Timecode Breaks' to fix this stream.
    I chose 'Fix Now'
    Afterwards it appeared the file was open in MPEGStreamclip though I still got the empty screen with five blue dots in the middle.
    I then tried to 'Export Audio'
    and chose AIFF as Format
    However I got a second Error Message saying
    Error: can't prepare the movie
    One more thing, I want to be able to import all Five Channel and edit them individually and while trying to export audio in MPEGStreamclip I noticed that it was exporting file as two channel stereo file only.
    Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  • Change in AAC file format?

    I have a 3rd party music player (the Archos 604 WiFi) with the podcast plug-in (which includes support for non-protected AAC files). I can play AAC files created (i.e., ripped) with iTunes 7 just fine, but it has trouble with AAC files created with older versions of iTunes. Has the AAC file format changed? Is there a way to convert older AAC files to what seems to be a newer AAC format? I don't want to have to re-rip my entire library (26 GB) again when I am not even changing the format.

    It doesn't matter which adapter you are using that approach will work. Any custom modification of the output column order which overrides the calc sequence can be done in the Export Action script. Be aware though that any changes to Action script will affect your support agreement with Oracle if you have one. Therfore it may be best to put any custom output in the AftExport event script.
