How 2 import all songs already on ur comp.

I had a bunch of songs, like 5000, on my comp.....w/ itunes....most of them were in AAC format. I dont know much about comps but i imported them from cds and itunes converted them to AAC format upon importing. My comp got messed up like a couple months ago and those songs were lost and i had 2 re-import them....I finally got done and my comp messed up again....and i opened itunes and the songs werent there. And the first time i opened itunes after the second mess up it offered 2 search for any songs stored on my comp.....and i clicked no....but now i realize that the songs are still on my comp....just not in itunes....and i could send them 2 itunes without a problem but i have 2 do it song by song which will take 4ever......is there any quick way 2 do this....I looked in itunes and couldnt find anything 2 click on that suggests doing what i want but maybe i missed it.....and help would be appreciated

In iTunes, go to the taskbar, click on File and Add Folder To Library. Find your music folders and so forth. It will put them back into iTunes.

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • How to transfer all songs from ipod to my library?

    got a new ipod, but some of my songs are only on old ipod, not in my lib. how to transfer all songs from old ipod to lib, so i can put them on new ipod. both ipods are 4GB mini. thanks for help.

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers

    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

    Ok, well first you have to go on icloud.com and make sure that you delete all the contacts you don't want to have overritten on your iphone or merged. Now on your iPhone go to Settings -> iCloud and just flip the toggle next to contacts to "ON". Now it will syncs everything to iCloud and you are up to date. I hope that is what you ment to do?

  • How do you import all songs from a shared library?

    I have 862 songs in my iTunes library on the family computer, and i would like to transfer them to my iTunes on my laptop. I already have home sharing on, and I can see the shared library on the iTunes on my laptop, but is there a way i can transfer all the songs from the shared library to the iTunes on my laptop without having to import each song on its own? Thank you in advance.

    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my iMac's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    once the homeshared library has loaded, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import.
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting (highlighting) it and clicking the import button.
    via settings, you can select which newly purchased content is transferred automatically to homeshared libraries

  • How can you get songs already on your iPod back into iTunes?

    I previously posted this question under a really bad title and got no answers, so here's a quick summary with a more relevant title:
    Due to some mistakes I made, I lost most of my music library from my computer (& iTunes), but I still have all the songs on my iPod (which I backed up). The problem is that if I try to sync it with iTunes, iTunes simply tries to ERASE any songs on my iPod that aren't already in iTunes. Even if I set the synchronization to manual, which would stop the erasing, I still don't know how to get the songs back onto my computer. (They are stored in an unusuable form on the iPod.)
    Below is the original post with more details. This can't be such an unusual situation - there must be a way to recover songs on your iPod back to your computer...
    Note to Apple: I'd love to buy a lot more from the Apple store but I can't use iTunes at all until I resolve this.
    I had to get a new computer. (I'm using a PC but I love Macs.) The new computer is running XP Pro and I have a 4th generation iPod (click wheel).
    Initially I copied the iPod music directory from the old computer to the new one and launched iTunes. It worked - but 60% of my library was missing, including all but 2 of my purchased songs!
    Luckily I still have my entire library on my iPod. So I backed up my iPod, then uninstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes directory from my PC. Then I reinstalled iTunes. Guess what? Somehow it still remembered the previous library (with 60% missing!) And when it saw my iPod attached, it deleted all the songs to match!
    Lucky I made that backup - I copied it back to my iPod and things seem fine. But how do I get the songs from my iPod back into iTunes? Especially the ones I purchased from the Apple store. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you kind folks.

  • How to download all songs from my external drive into my itunes library

    I have enough Gbytes to not use an external drive for my music.
    How do I proceed to download all songs from the external drive on my internal drive?

    Hello there, Laetidela.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps on how to move your iTunes library from an external hard drive to your computer:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • How to import whole song in WaveBurner

    Hi
    When I import into WB it imports all the different tracks i have eg guitar, drums synth sepratly and not as one song
    . How do I get it to condence all my tracks into one song.
    cheers!

    You're missing a step.
    Once you've recorded all the parts of your song, you need to create a mix. This is where you adjust levels of instruments, apply effects, add reverb if you want, and mix the entire song down to a single stereo file.
    This is then the file which you load in to WaveBurner to make further adjustments and burn Cds.
    It sounds like you're just starting out. You might want to do some reading. You can get some helpful articles here:

  • Can not import all songs from computer HD

    only some of my songs import from my HD to Itunes library. How can I get all of the to import. they are all mp3 files.
      Windows XP  

    I have the same problem but I have some more info onwhat happens with my songs. First of all I want to say that all the songs I am talking about are in MP3 format with all the tags completed correctly.
    I have two computers and iTunes on both of them and I had noticed this behaviour when importing miscellaneous songs into my main computer's iTunes library. So before I tried importing my collection of 2800 songs from full albums into my existing iTunes library I used my second computer to verify that all the songs would be imported into an empty library, and they were. However, when I went back to my main computer and imported the same songs, from the same folder structure, iTunes skipped several of the songs.
    Can somebody please tell me if iTunes has some kind of integrated filter for removing duplicate entries when importing MP3 files.
    Thanks

  • How to import ONE song (non-copyright protected) from iPhone to iTunes

    I'm a musician and I want to import individual (original) songs from my iPhone into my MacBookPro iTunes, but via a rather convoluted path... 
    I record my own material into a MacPro in my studio, upload to a shared website to share file with the rest of the band, then download the file to my home iMac/iTunes.  From iMac I sync to my iPhone.  Now I want to import/transfer the song(s) from iPhone into my MacBookPro.  All songs are NOT protected (my own material), all computers are authorized with iTunes.  I can't figure out how to transfer individual titles from my iPhone to my MacBookPro.  I must be missing something very simple here...?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ian

    The music sync is ONE WAY - computer to iphone.  The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    You would have to use a third party program, not supported by Apple, if you wanted to do this.

  • N8 Music Synchronization - how to clear all songs ...

    Background:
    I quickly synced a stack of songs from my N97 sync in Windows Media Player (Win 7).  Naturally the sync was way larger than the storage capacity on the N8.
    When I had more time, I went back and made a more conservative sized playlist and went to do what I would have done on the N97: Deleted all folders in the "Music" directory on the Mass Storage drive.  Seeing there was an "Albums" folder with .alb files in it I also toasted them (must be related right).
    Method:
    1. Connect N8 in Mass Storage mode
    2. Delete Music and Albums folders.
    3. Sync playlist using WMP 
    4. Disconnect and rebuild library.
    Result:
    My music library has very little album art now.
    It seems to be incorrectly ordered and grouped by artist-album instead of album-artist
    It is basically a mess.
    Other info:
    Got a message after sync was complete that I should consider using Ovi Suite mode (what was previously called PC Suite mode) to sync songs in future.
    I didn't use this method to sync because I found some folders on the device could not be deleted.  The phone seemed to lock up.  This did not happen in Mass Storage mode.
    Questions:
    1. How do you correctly delete all songs on the N8 mass storage drive (including all supporting/supplementary files) and database files (if necessary).  
    2. How does Ovi Suite mode differ from Mass Storage mode in the way it manages Music Sync?
    Nokia N8

    OK. I have got perfect album art synching using MediaMonkey.
    Connect using Mass Storage and then configure your device (Assume its a memory card and you can tell it how to do folder structure). I tried doing this initially using default settings and 90% of my music (all embedded art) appeared fine, with just a few missing.
    Take 2. In device configuration, get it to copy the art over as folder.jpg as well. Then refresh music library, and the device will create .alb files (not picked up by the photo gallery, unlike the folder.jpgs!). Then, still connected in Mass storage mode search your music folder for all .jpg and delete, leaving just the .alb.
    No missing art. No covers in photo browser. Best solution I have so far.
