Help importing .aac files

I am trying to import about 40 ringtone files (from Nokia N97 zip file I found) but iTunes isn't playing nice.
The files are in .aac format (they play in quicktime and realplayer) but when I try to select file>add-to-library in iTunes I get nothing. No error message, no nothing. Just a quick almost in-perceivable blip and that's it.
I'm no audio pro keep in mind. Any thoughts? Are these encrypted files and if so, how do I convert and import.
I want COOOOOOL (not that the Nokia ones are the best in the world either) ringtones on my new iPhone not these crap ones.
Any help is much appreciated!!

You're not converting the file properly. You should read the MPEG Streamclip documentation.
The files imported into FCE that need to be rendered are probably not in a format that's supported by FCE. Get item properties for the clips and see what the specifications are. They have to match the sequence properties in every respect.

Can't Import AAC file into Premier CS4

Hello!
As the title says, I'm not able to import AAC files into my Premier Pro projects. The funny thing is that these files were created in Premier Pro CS4, so what gives? I took the audio out of a video and exported ONLY the audio in AAC format. But when I want to import these files into a project, it gives me a file not supported message. What am I doing wrong?

It says the codec is installed, so it should work no? I mean, like I said in the OP, I created these files in Premier Pro. I find it odd that I can't import files I created in the same program I used to export them.
I do agree that if you Export a file from a program, it should Import into that same program. That similar once did, but do not now, indicates that something has changed. Trying to find out what that is can be a bit time-consuming and can lead to dead ends.
I would try the Export again, but use PCM/WAV, to make sure that that method, format will work.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hey Kevin,
thanks for your reply. I fixed the problem.
I need to download these 3 programs from RED:
RED APPLE WORKFLOW INSTALLER

After installing and restarting everything works fine - no other problems with importing the R3D files.

Importing AAC Files in the new Leopard import window

While I love the new open/import menu with the sidebar that lets you add photos from iPhoto and music from iTunes etc by browsing them inside the window, for some reason it won't let me add normal (not protected) AAC files from my iTunes library. MP3 files seem to be fair game, so what's the problem?
Bizarrely, it will let me add protected AAC files, although they come up silent when I try and play the sequence.

An MP3 on the timeline behaves in the most unpredictable way.
I tested it and I had to convert it into AIFF to work on the track.
The problem was not so much the rendering issue.
One example:
I had to change the speed to a track. The caption on the audio track on the timeline would indicate the modified speed percentage but the actual speed
would always remain the same (100%). Tried several times with slight adjustments
but nothing changed.
I do think that MP3 is not a real option (It definitely isn't for me).

Why won't my itunes import aac files i've downloaded nor will it even play them

For years i download off a website audiobooks and magazines in aac format from a website. I name and save the file and then when it downloads i open it and it automatically would open in itunes and then remain in itunes. I could then sync it to my ipod, iphone. Simple, easy. All of a sudden after downloading the last recent itunes software update. 10.3 i think. everything stopped working. i download a new files and i can't open them in itunes. i cant drag it, i cant directly import the file. i cant even open the file using right click open with. itunes. I can open the file in windows media player so i know the file is good. I figured something might have been up with that version of itunes so i wanted for a new update, hoping that it would fix it itself. Didn't work. So i have the most current version of itunes. All the files i want in itunes are saved and neatly organized. i wonder if it's possible to just scrap everything and drag everything into a fresh downloaded version of itunes.

Need help importing MOV files into iMovie

I am trying to import MOV files from a USB disk -- into iMovie's event library. When I click on the files on the USB -- they are grey and won't import. They will play in QuickTime. What could the problem be? I have the latest OS and am up to date.

Can you maybe try converting them? Download the free program called Miro Video Converter from the Mac App Store. Drag the video into the window and set the output format as mp4. iMovie should import that properly.
Sorry I couldnt be more of a help.
Let us know!

Re-imported AAC files have lost all their volume settings

Hi
I've recently had to re-import some tracks into my library and I noticed that iTunes has reset the AAC files volume slider back to 'None.' MP3 files have retained their original settings, which was slightly to the right to make the tracks louder. Never had this problem prior to 9.0.2.25.
Any ideas why its doing this?
Cheers

Help Importing Audio Files

How does one set the settings for importing audio so that when you import a file, it automatically imports it to the very next sample of the last import (i.e. so that the is no space, empty samples, between the two files).
I know you can do this by dragging, but I have a bunch of files in one project and it is fairly tedious to drag each one individually.
Any ideas?

Your question is a little confusing. Importing audio simply brings it into the audio window of a song / project. You can also drag and drop directly into the arrange window. When you do this, you will be asked to place the files on one track or individual tracks. Usually you will choose individual tracks, but it sounds as though you would want to choose one track.
If what you are doing is dragging the files in one at a time, the way to get them to be lined up with no time between them is to use the key command "tie regions by position change" after you have dragged them in. Select them all, use the key command you have assigned and they will snap into place.

Badly in need of help: Importing asf-files to iTunes

Hi all,
I have a truely oldfashioned problem. I work as a teacher and some of the materials I use are on cd-rom using asf-format. I'd really like to import the files to iTunes (and then to my iPad, 3rd gen.) so that it's easier to handle when I don't have access to a cd-rom/dvd drive.
Do you have any suggestions?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Systems_Format
It might be very, very difficult to work with the files. It is strange that a CD would use a streaming format since that is usually a web page format. If it is in a proprietary format you will need a player specifically designed to accommodate that. then too they may be in WMA format instide that stream which means proprietary format inside proprietary format. That format is designed primarily for Windos systems so add on a third hurdle.
You can check out VLC media player and see if it will play them. You can likely copy the CD to your computer and use if from there. I don't know if you can find anything to convert though.

Irregular Bit Rates for Converted/Imported AAC files (iTunes 7.5)?

I have noticed that my recent additions to my iTunes library have irregular bit rates inconsistent with the usual 128 kbps. They range from 121-131 kbps and appear to be randomly generated. This has happened with MP3s and WMAs that I have converted into AACs and CD tracks that I have imported as AACs. My first additions with these problems were on the 19th of November. Before this time I updated my library to iTunes 7.5. None of my previous 2000+ music files (all AAC) which I have been adding successfully for the last 3 years have had this problem and they are almost all (except for a couple at 64 kbps) at 128 kbps. My suspicion is that the new iTunes 7.5 may be the cause of this irregularity.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I found a past thread related to this issue. No Need to reply

Help importing .mov files

Hi,
From recommendations in earlier posts, I downloaded MPEG Streamclip to convert VOB files on a DVD to import into FCE, but it doesn't seem to be converting them to QT movies. the file shows up on my desktop but when i try to open it is says, "this files is not a movie file." hummmm?
Also, other .mov files that i have successfully imported into FCE cannot be seen in RT and must be rendered. this is annoying because then i have to re-render when making adjustments to transitions and such. why is this? can i get around this? what is the difference between QT .mov files and footage i bring into FCE directly from mini DVs?
any help is appreciated!

You're not converting the file properly. You should read the MPEG Streamclip documentation.
The files imported into FCE that need to be rendered are probably not in a format that's supported by FCE. Get item properties for the clips and see what the specifications are. They have to match the sequence properties in every respect.

Help importing WMV files with 4 audio tracks....

Hello,
I am using a PC to run a robot show. The show runs off of WMV files recorded with 4 audio tracks.
The "front" audio tracks are the left and right chanels for sound.
The "rear" audio tracks are the signals the show runs off of.
(If you want to see the show... it's here http://www.yorkmiss.com/Curtains.wmv
I run the audio files using the windows media player and as you can see... it works fine.
However, I would like to use the I-tunes player since I can then controld the show remotely using my I-Touch.
The problem is that every time I import one of the audio file into I-tunes, it converts it to a new type of file that "blends" the front and rear chanels of audio together.
I've tried every different option in the import prefrences list - and they all have the same result.
Does anyone know a way of playing the files "as-is" without converting them, or is there a way of converting them I do not know about?
Here's an example of one of the files:
http://www.yorkmiss.com/ShowbizKylesmom_504.wma
Any help or suggestions would be welcome and appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Beth

Yes, I understand that now... but is there a way to convert to those file types while still preserving the 4 seperate audio chanels?
Thanks, Beth

Help importing music files to iTunes?

All of my music is on my Windows Media Player, and I cannot simply drag and drop. and the files are not found in my music file either. So how can I get these file onto my iTunes?

Dont Panic wrote:
All my music is on Windows Media Center, Not a streaming service.
Is there another place to find/get the music files from it. I only have itunes in my music folder.
Windows Media Center normally (always?) uses music managed by Windows Media Player. This is certainly the case with Media Center 2005 and Windows Media Player. (I have not got Vista, and while I have Windows 7, I have not yet installed it).
Therefore I suggest launching Windows Media Player to see all your music, and checking where WMP says the music files are located. Once you have established that, check to see if they are protected by Microsoft's ghastly "Plays for Sure" DRM, if it is then give up. If it is not, then tell iTunes to import the folder(s) that WMP says the music is in.
Note: iTunes for Windows can import MP3, WAV, AIFF, WMA (unprotected), and of course AAC, and Apple Lossless.
I have all my music in Apple Lossless and shared between iTunes, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center 2005, and can also use it with Roku Soundbridge, Apple TV, and my iPhone. (Yes it is possible to get WMP and Media Center to play Apple Lossless.)
