How can you edit a song in iTunes so that you can separate the part I want?

Some songs have LONG intros I'd like to edit out. For example, Elton John's Funeral for a friend/Love Lies Bleeding is only available as one track.
How can I edit out the FFAF part? (at least for the version I sync to my ipod.

Hey there,
One option is to change the songs starting time in iTunes. To change when a song starts and ends locate and highlight the song in iTunes. From there, right->click the song and choose "Get Info" from the Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab and in the middle of the window there are options to adjust the starting and ending times for that song or songs. When you are satisfied, go ahead and hit OK to apply the changes.
From there, sync the updates to your iPod.
Hope this helped.

  • Can you edit a song in iTunes?

    Is there a way in iTunes to edit a song? LIke if you wanted to trim the end or the beginning or something like that?

    Yes, you can edit in itunes.
    Select the song you want to edit. Then go to File>Get Info>Options and select the desired start time and end time using the itunes playback head. Once that is done, then go to Advanced>Convert selection to...
    That will make a copy of your selection - with the new start and end times you just selected. That will also leave the original song as it was.
    hope this helps.

  • HT202729 Why is it now there are Song in ITune Store that I can ONLY Play and Not Buy?

    Why is it now there are songs that I can ONLY Play not Buy?

    What do you mean 'only play and not buy' ? If you mean that a song has 'play' against it in the store then that implies that you've already bought it and it's in your iTunes library

  • How do I edit a song in itunes to use in a presentation?

    Hi I need to shorten a song from 5 minutes to 2 minutes for a presentation. I edit it in Get Info in iTunes and it works - but as soon as I try to insert the song into the PowerPoint 2010 file it reverts back to the full length. Any ideas please?

    You don't really "edit" in iTunes.  You can just tell iTunes where to start/stop a track when played in iTunes.  To actually edit the track you should export a copy of the file then use a program like Audacity (a free multitrack audio editor) to trim the file as desired.

  • When you edit a song in iTunes where is that data kept?

    If I change the start or end time of a song or the volume, where exactly is that data stored?
    Where is it stored on an iPod?
    Thanks

    I have this question too & Im inclined to believe its stored in the iTunes Library database (not in the song file itself)
    if someone could verify this, this would be great!

  • I am unable to see a song from iTunes music that was downloaded from the iTunes store

    I downloaded a tune from the Itunes store and when I try to add it to a project in iMovie, it does not show in the Music list. Is there way way it can be shown to use it in an iMovie project?

    Weird indeed, but I have seen this before.
    Close and repopen iTunes. Close and reopen iMovie.
    Still not there?
    Reboot your Mac.

  • Editting/cutting songs from iTunes

    I'm new to Mac and everything that comes with it, so this may sound like a very simple question...
    Can I edit a song from iTunes on GarageBand? I don't want to make my own thing or add any beats to it or anything...I just want to be able to cut out chunks of the song to make it shorter.
    On my PC, I had some really old Sony program that I used to do this for years, and now that's all I know...can someone please tell me how to do this, if I can?
    Oh, and one more thing, if that's not something GarageBand does, can you please suggest software that you have found simple and efficient for this?
    Thank you so much!

    Well, as amazingly helpful as that tidbit was, can you please elaborate? Can you possibly suggest an audio editor that would maybe be a good choice?
    Thanks!
    Like I said, I'm new to Mac. I'm so glad that this website is available to people like me who know very little about how to do things. So any kind advice I can get would be appreciated.

  • How do I export one song from iTunes to a .mp3 file?

    Sorry for the newbie question. I want to create a single .mp3 file from one of the songs in my iTunes library. How do I do that?
    Thanks much.

    You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to iTunes>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    Click on the MP3 version you've created in iTunes to highlight it and drag it to your desktop to create a copy if you want to use it in another program or put it in another folder.

  • How to download non purchase songs to itunes from iphone

    I have a lot of songs, downloaded from CDs, on my iPhone. I am syncing the phone to a new laptop. How do I get these songs onto the new laptop?

    Hi barbarafromoh,
    As you probably know, songs on an iPhone that are not from the iTunes store can not be downloaded directly from the iPhone to a computer or another device. One way to do what you are asking is to use iTunes Match. See this article -
    iCloud: iTunes Match
    This article tells you how to start using iTunes Match -
    Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support
    If you still have access to a computer that has the songs on it in iTunes, you can use the methods described in this article to transfer them -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.
