How 2 Import a CD into Itunes? I only get first few Secs of each track!!
I have just bought an Ipod and am having trouble importing my Cds into Itunes !!!
I seem to have the 'intro function' on in Itunes so I can only get the first few seconds of each track !!
Does anyone know how I can import the complete tracks and how I turn this Itunes intro setting off ?
Thanks Owen0069
hi Owen!
let's try checking up on some of the simpler possibilities:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
these resources might be helpful with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
toonz: Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
... but if no joy, post back with your itunes "help > run CD diagnostics". one of the clever folk might be able to spot something in those.
love, b

Ipod does not sinc with all of my Itunes library, only the first few albums. I recently changed my operating system to XP from Vista, which was a pain, and due to my fault had to reinstate most of my albums and all of the playlists. How do I get my Ipod to sinc fully when I access Itunes?

Only the first few minutes of songs will play
I have a 4th gen iPod Nano and when I try to play music only the first few minutes of each song will play. Each song cuts off at the same point each time and this ranges from about 2:30 to around 6:20 from the tracks I have tested. Some of them at least are currently in 256kbit aac although I have tried resyncing them with the option to convert higher bitrate tracks to 128kbit aac. This has no effect on the "stopping" point for each track. The music plays fine on iPhone 4, 5 and in iTunes. I have restored the ipod to factory settings and tried resyncing but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I am running OS X 10.8 with iTunes 11.a security idea for improvement: A password request before switching the phone off would give a user the chance of finding the phone within the first few minutes of it being stolen, since the thief wouldn't be able to turn the phone off.

I am importing CD's into iTunes. The CD that I put in had the option of 3 different CD's and I accidentally chose the wrong CD name. Is there a way to change it? It now seems to only recognize that CD as the wrong one.
Trevor,
When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

I am importing a CD into itunes and it is creating 5 different albums.
1 album for most of the songs and 4 other albums for single songs from
the CD. How can I get itunes software to put all the songs into 1 album?Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How to import Flac files into itunes
Hi there,
the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
Many thanks for your help.
regardsHello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you. -
i've been trying to import a cd into itunes that has different artists on the cd. (queen of the damned soundtrack) after its done, all the tracks aren't together. its all sepreated. how can i keep all the tracks together?
Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.
Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done? -
Can't import a CD into iTunes 7.5
Wow, just tried to import a CD into iTunes 7.5 andam completely unable to do it. I tried dragging and dropping, I tried clicking "Import" in the drop-down menu under "File," and nothing seems to work. In my old version of iTunes there was a big obvious button signifying "import." Now I don't know how to do it. Is this simply operator error (me not knowing the command) or is something wrong with my iTunes installation? Appreciating any advice. Thanks.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista
I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.) -
I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?
First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.
