How do i convert my music to high res?

I need to change my music in my library from 128 kpbs AAC encoder to the highest sound quality, can anyone tell what the highest sound quality is and how to covert all my music to that setting?

AAC is the successor to MP3 as a compressed format. More quality is retained at the same bit rate.
WAV and AIFF are not compressed and retain the full sound quality, but also consume a lot of space per song.
Apple Lossless achieves the same sound quality, but consumes about half the space as WAV or AIFF.
It really depends on what you're playing the music on. Apple set the default to AAC 128kbps because nobody could tell the difference between that and the original CD when using standard headphones or speakers. If you're using really expensive sound gear, then you'll want to choose a higher bitrate or one of the lossless formats.
I use AAC 192kbps for all my imported music.
Lastly, if you plan to frequently burn MP3 CDs (not standard Audio CDs), then you'll want to use the MP3 format. If you don't, you'll need to go through a multi-step process to burn the CDs.

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.

    I had music in an iTunes acct under a previous Apple ID. How do I convert that music to my current Apple ID?

    You cannot. Items from the iTunes Store are permanently tied to the Apple ID through which they were purchased. If you wish to re-dowload those tracks, you'll have to log into the Store using that old Apple ID.

  • How do I convert my music to an mp3 file and then email it?

    Set the iTunes Import preference to MP3, select the track, and then choose the Convert menu command. Then attach it to the email using whatever method or command your email application uses.
    Note that it will be illegal to send this track to someone else unless they already have purchased a copy or it's a track that you composed and performed yourself.

  • How do i convert my music and pics over from windows to mac using a external hard drive.

    New mac user.  How do i convert my files from windows to mac using external hard drive.  I am using a Seagate freeagent go flex.

    leave as is and add NTFS driver to write to the drive / migrate maybe / reading NTFS drives isn't always perfect, some times external drive case has trouble mounting or staying mounted and suffers slow copy speed after awhile or with large files which is why I suggest Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X.

  • How do I convert purchased music videos and television shows into my Itunes liabrary and sync it onto my ipod?

    I recently purchased a music video and a television show episode off of Itunes. It was in my liabrary until I plugged in my Ipod nano 4th generation for it to sync. As my ipod is syncing the music video and tv show episode were'nt in my liabrary and they didn't sync onto my ipod. Yet when I log into my itunes store account the purchsed content is there. How do I get the music video and tv episode into my itunes library and onto my ipod?

    My guess (and it is just a guess) is that what you are trying to do is no different than recording a TV programme to a VCR then watching it at a time of your convenience, probably the main reason why people have purchased VCRs, PVRs and the like.
    However, with commercially produced DVDs, there is an encryption built in to prevent copying, and it the discussion of how to overcome this encryption that Apple will not permit on their forums.

  • How do I convert my music on windows 8 to my itunes library

    I have a music library on my new computer. I have windows 8 and I want to copy my music over to my ipod and my iphone 5 but it will not automatically sync.

    Songs downloaded from the iTunes Store are always AAC. Podcast episodes are in the format chosen by their creators. Songs manually dragged into iTunes are in their original format, or AAC if that's WMA. Songs imported from CDs are in the format specified as the default encoder, which is AAC by default.

  • HOW DO I CONVERT F4VS TO APPLE PRO RES?

    Hi, I need to transfer a premiere pro project as a XML to FCP so i plan to convert the files into premiere pro  into Apple prores so they can opened in a Apple Pro Res project in FCP. The files I need to convert are the original MOVs and F4vs so the movs won't be a problem but the I've tried converting the f4Vs in Adobe Media Encoder and it seems to suggest I need FCP installed on my computer to convert them to pro res bu there must be a way of getting F4vs in to FCP. This is a project I'm transferring to be opened on someone elses computer in their FCP so how is this done?
    PLEASE HELP!
    I have the apple pro res codec already installed on my computer and downloaded a free trial of Pavtube but when I tried converting a F4v file into prores it said I need Final Cut already installed on my computer so would wondershare say the same thing. Sorry but I just want to be clear so...If I convert all the movie files in my Premiere Project into Apple Pro Res then export that as a XML then send all the individual files along with the XML project file to another computer they would be able to open the XML project all good and fine in FCP7?... There isn't any speed adjusted clips in the project as with those I nested and converted them into f4vs in Media Encoder then reimported them into the Pro project, then there are a few clips that I have adjusted the scale and postion and put on a slight fade on some clips- would those effects transfer to FCP7 ok ?
    The project files I used in Pro are-
    Editing Mode: DSLR,
    25fps,
    frame size 1920 x 1080, vertical 16:9,
    Pixel Aspect Ratio, Square Pixels (1.0) 
    Fields : No Fields(Progressive Scan)
    Sample Rate 48000,
    Video Previews-
    Preview File Format I-Frame Only Mpeg
    Codec Mpeg I-frame
    So if they open a project in FCP7 with as much of those settings as possible and in Apple Pro Res and then import the XML would that work?
    Any advice would be extremely welcome and I'll be very greatful.Cheers
