How do I compress my itunes MP3s to 192kb

How do I compress my whole itunes library MP3s to 192kb? I want to make some space on my HD

in iTunes, go preferences > general. click on +import settings+ and set +import using+ to *MP3 encoder*. in setting, choose the desired bitrate (192 kbps) and okay out.
select the songs to be converted and, from the advanced menu, choose +create MP3 version+.
be aware though that iTunes will create a new file for each one you convert.
you can take care of the duplicate 320 kbps files by sorting your library by +bit rate+ and deleting the 320 kbps versions

    I'm guessing you mean your Amazon mp3s? Download them to your computer. Import to iTunes. Sync your iPad.

  • How do I manually move "iTunes" mp3 to iPhone?

    Ok here's the deal...
    I have a New iPhone 4s and a $24.99 iTunes Match Membership with 8,000 songs stored on iCloud.
    I have a 64kbps audio file that is 8 hours long, and is 95mb.
    It won't upload to the iCloud as it is only 64kbps, and must be greater than 96kbps.
    If I re-encode at 128kbps, the file is 471mb, way too large for me to want to upload.
    So I just want to manually transfer this file to the iPhone without iCloud/iMatch.
    I can't drag and drop it to my iPhone from within iTunes.
    I can do it from a third party prog called Phoneview, which transfers the file through a Finder interface, but when I do, it does not import the crucial "remember playback position," metadata setting that iTunes has. And so when I open the file on my iPhone it starts this 8 hour mp3 from the beginning each time.
    I would like it to remember the playback position...
    I figure if I can just transfer the file to the iPhone from iTunes, (and not the Finder), this will work.
    Can anyone offer me a suggestion?

    Hi wjosten,
    I don't like the way richisgame treated you and others in this thread, either. The only reason I'm responding with a solution is because I was looking for a solution to essentially the same problem richisgame was asking for, and I found this thread. This page was the second link that came up in Google when I searched "iCloud music storage 64kbps" - so it's clear this topic is of interst to many people.
    A little background on why this is important to me.: A substantial portion (more than 2,000 tracks) of my iTunes playlist is from spoken word CDs, which I encoded into 64kpbs mono to save space. It's not important for me to have them available in the cloud, but I sometimes want to listen to some of these tracks on the go with my iPod Touch. Nearly all of my music is encoded at 128kpbs or better, and most of it is available through iTunes Match - so I'm not very interested in iCloud storage anyway, at least not at this time.
    After doing a little bit of experimenting, here's the solution I foun to get individual tracks onto my iPod Touch (which I'm sure will work for iPhones and iPads equally well).Just go to System Preferneces on the iOS device, select Music, and turn off iTunes Match. Click on your iOS device in iTunes and then click on Music, and you'll be able to add artists, albums, playlists, individual trakcs, etc. on your device again. (It might take a few moments for iTunes to allow you to select individual artists/albums/playlists, etc. after you've unselected iTunes Match on your device, so be patient). Select what you want, perform a sync, and you're done.
    To turn iTunes Match back on, just go back to System Preferneces on your iOS device, click Music, and then turn on iTunes Match.
    I understand your frustration with richisgame and others who act rudly while asking for help. All I'm saying is there's got to be a way to not reward undesirable behavior while still helping those who find these forums looking for help. I'm not sure what the solution is yet.

  • Exporting itunes mp3 converted music to sdhc card

    Does anyone know how to do this (exporting itunes mp3 converted music to sdhc card) ?  I want to play some of the music in a car stereo.  Detailed help would be appreciated.  Thanks much Ideally want to have music in playlist type format on CD card.

    any old music that has the protection on it will not transfer. nothing you can do but move forward... apple was forced to remove the protection and thats why new music will transfer

  • I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive.  Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive.  How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

    My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
    Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules.  You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
    There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

  • How do I import an iTunes library from an external drive if that drive has been simply removed from a dead computer, without prior measures being taken to ensure it is possible to transfer the library over?

    Basically, my issue here is, I had a fully functioning iTunes on my previous Acer laptop which I used to store my music for my iPhone, I have over 2000 songs on this iTunes and as the laptop suddenly died due to motherboard failure, there was no way to follow out the instructions given by apple on how to properly transfer one iTunes library to another.
    The only source of music I have comes from source files on the HDD, which, stupidly I chose to organise myself.
    A large quantity of this music was deleted from the iTunes library but stayed on the HDD in the source folders (I do not know why)
    By simply dragging my music folder from my HDD to a new iTunes, all the files do go over, however many of them are duplicated (due to 320>120 bit rate MP3 creations) and a number of them are simply not wanted.
    Is there a way to transfer my old library straight into this new one? bearing in mind I have all the program files and everything that had iTunes running on my old computer stored onto this USB drive?
    Thank you!

    When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
    My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
    As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

  • How do I move my iTunes Library from one PC to another when all my actual songs live on an external hard-drive?

    Need to transfer my iTunes from one Win7 laptop to a new one.  The trick is that all my music files live on an external hard drive, which I also use for Home Media Server use (iTunes only has a portion of my full collection under management for use on my iPhone).
    I don't want to consolidate the music files to the My Music folder (which almost all tutorials say is the first step to transfer the library) - I want to keep them on the external drive.  I want to retain my playlists mainly, as well as things like Podcasts which are unique to the iPhone.
      How does one accomplish this? 
      Thanks in advance!!

    OK. So your current media library is at C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes.
    Your current media folder is C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Your library is in the old style layout.
    The bulk of your media is at F:\MP3 and you're happy with the layout of it.
    Are you OK with the media files moving to F:\iTunes\iTunes Media but otherwise retaining the same file & folder names they have now. If so carry on, otherwise I'll give you the steps for migrating the library without making it portable first, or indeed at all.
    With iTunes closed backup the iTunes Library.itl file somewhere.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Check the media folder location is given as C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Make sure Keep iTunes Music folder organised and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library are turned off.
    Close preferences.
    Use File > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Music. This will pull the files in the Mobile Applications folder into your current media folder and tell iTunes you want to use the new layout in future for anything that it is managing, e.g. podcasts, apps etc. Exisitng content on F: won't be touched.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Change the media folder location to F:\MP3. When you click OK you will be asked if you want to copy existing content to the new location. Click No.
    Close iTunes. Reopen it. Check that media folder location is now correctly given as F:\MP3.
    Use File > Organise Library > Consolidate files. This will pull any files that are outside F:\MP3 into it, but leave those that are already inside alone.
    Close iTunes.
    Copy the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into F:\.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\.
    Test that the library works i.e. that your files play.
    Close iTunes.
    Create a folder called F:\iTunes.
    Move the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library.xml iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folders Album Artwork & MP3 into F:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\iTunes.
    Test that the library works.
    Close iTunes.
    Rename F:\iTunes\MP3 as F:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    Open iTunes, test the library.
    If at any stage the library won't play your media undo the preceeding step where this has involved moving or renaming files or use the shift-start-iTunes method to open the previous copy of the library.
    If you've made it this far you can now connect this drive to your new computer and connect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method without needing to worry which drive letter has been assigned. If your new machine has a big enough drive you can copy the entire iTunes folder to, say, C:\iTunes and it will just work, meaning that your external drive can function as a backup... You really should keep at least two copies of eveything.
    Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder (which is the point of doing all the above) then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • How do I migrate to iTunes to a new laptop without losing my ipod content

    I installed iTunes in my new laptop with Vista OS. I am hesitate to plug in my iPod to add new mp3s. I know that it will identify that this is a new IPOD and will ask to reformat the iPOD. I am afraid of losign my content. How do I migrate my itune configuration from my old computer to my new Vista laptop. Basically, I want new iTune to recognize my IPOD like the old computer. Do I just copy the Program Files/ITunes folder to the new computer? I am not sure where the IPOD configuration is stored in the old computer.
    Thanks.

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer.
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.

  • How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

    I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone.  Can someone please remind me?  I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

    Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.
    Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.
    Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.
    Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

  • How do I compress Wav files

    Hi, I have some sound files that I want to be able to email to people, but I can't because the files are too big. Is there a way to compress these files(wav)?

    You may refer to the following there method to compress WAV files
    Method 1: Compress WAV to other audio format
    Compress WAV to lossless compression audio format without losing audio quality like compress WAV to FLAC, compress WAV to Apple Lossless ALAC M4A
    Compress WAV to lossy audio format like compress WAV to MP3, compress WAV to WMA, AAC, RA and etc.
    Method 2: Lower WAV bit rate
    With this method, we can easily reduce WAV file size without changing WAV audio format.
    The lower the bit rate, the smaller the WAV file size, the lower quality of the WAV audio.
    In most cases, WAV audio quality shows little difference between 128kbps and higher bitrates. WAV quality will become crappier if the bit rate is less than 128kbps.
    Method 3: Compress WAV to other audio format as well as lower bit rate
    The third way to compress a WAV file size is that we simultaneously apply Method 1 as well as Method 2.
