How do I seamlessly loop tracks in a playlist to burn a CD

I need to burn a CD for an event. I need the first song to repeat seamlessly for 10 minutes, have a small 3 or 4 second gap before the next song (also need to loop)
etc.... For 5 songs, most of which need to loop seamlessly for varying lengths of time.

Only 1 Karen,
iTunes burns audio CDs directly from the playlist, and does not change anything except to place a gap of 0 to 5 seconds between each track.
If you want to add looping, variable gaps, crossfades, or other effects, you will need to use an audio editor such as Audacity. Make your final mix, export it from Audacity, add it to iTunes, put it in a playlist, and burn your CD.

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

Each track of each playlist is listed. How do I turn this off?

I recently bought a new CD and imported the tracks into the iTunes library. (I was not internet connected at the time so I entered track information prior to starting the import).
After the import completed, I clicked on the leftmost button on the bottom which is supposed to create a new playlist. The display changed to show every track of every playlist that I had. I have so many playlists, that it was very difficult to find the new (unnamed) playlist.
Why are all my playlists listed track by track and how do I turn off this behavior. Anybody out there who can help with this issue.

You might have repeat turned on. To turn it of open up your music app and tap the two looping arrows on the left under your song progress meter until they turn white. If that dosent help you might just have to delete your playlist and then rebuild it.

I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

Perhaps someone on this forum has done what you are asking and would be more help than me.
I think it could be done, but you'd have to do some fiddling around. The concept is to make the iDVD theme part of your iDVD or iMovie created slideshow, so that it will play as part of the slideshow.
I don't know if this will work, but if I were experimenting I would try creating an iDVD project with just the theme in it, and then save that to your desktop as a disc image. When you click on the icon of the disc image you have just created, you will see a Video_TS folder. Open that and you will see a file containing the letters VOB. Open that file.
You need to convert that VOB file back to DV or Quicktime Movie which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need the free download MPEG Streamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/, which I believe costs about $20.
Open MPEG Streamclip and drag the VOB file to its window. Go to the MPEG Streamclip file menu and click on Export to DV.
After the export is done, you will have a DV file containing the iDVD theme. I would try adding that clip as your first entry in your slide show, assuming that you are running iDVD7. (You can't add a movie to a slideshow in iDVD6.) When you play your slideshow hopefully it will play the DV clip containing the theme, then seamlessly followed by your slide show. If it doesn't, try instead exporting the VOB file to a Quicktime Movie, and then try to add the Quicktime movie to your slideshow.
You might be able to do this easier if you created your slideshow in iMovie instead of iDVD. You could make an iMovie with the iDVD theme clip as the lead clip, and then share your iMovie project to iDVD.
Good luck with this. As I said, perhaps someone else has an easier way to do this and will chime in.

Seamlessly looping FLVPlayback video no longer seamlessly looping

Hi,
Back in 2009 I created seamless video loops using the FLVPlayback component and 'addEventListener' (as3)—and they worked great! looping round and round seamlessly—equally well in browsers as in flash. The videos were of varying lengths, small (all between 50—500K), and they looped perfectly.
Recently I've gone back to update things and noticed that my video loops are no longer seamlessly looping in any of the web browsers. Now there's a big pause interrupting the seamless flow.
??? why? Has something in the delivery (browsers/flashplayer) changed? All my video loops still run seamlessly when tested in Flash (CS5). I spent a good amount of time investigating various angles but could not find any solution.
Anyhow, here's the actionscript:
stop();
import fl.video.*;
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick);
toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
      function rolloverToggle(event:MouseEvent):void {
      toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+" over");
      function rolloutToggle(event:MouseEvent) {
      toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState);
      function toggleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
          if (toggleButton.buttonState == "on") {
              toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
         vid_16_monty.pause();
          }else {
              toggleButton.buttonState = "on";
         vid_16_monty.play();
      vid_16_monty.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);
      function rewind(event:VideoEvent) {
         vid_16_monty.play();
          toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+" over");
the video that goes with the above script can be viewed here: http://www.designfail.us     cat should be in seamless motion... but it's not.
Also, not sure it would make much difference, but I'd be happy to attach an fla file—Adobe says it's a good idea but nowhere do they tell you how to attach an fla file... very peculiar, especially in these emphatic UI/UX times we live in.

I am wondering too, now that you mentioned it

How can I fix the tracks so they are in the correct order?

I made a CD from an old vinyl "The Best of the Staples Singers". Then I downloaded the Artwork. The artwork was from a later version of the same album. On that later version the tracks were in a different order and when I printed the insert for my CD I got the track order associated with the later version of "The Best of the Staple Singers". I deleted the artwork, however the tracks still print the order from the later version. Just to throw in an oddity: the tracks show up in the correct order on the screen and I can print a "List" & get the correct order, just not the CD insert. Hopefully someone will have a resolution for this problem. Thanks, Karen29

Hello Karen.
You have posted in the "Windows Compatibility" forum. What Windows® app are you using to manage, print, view, and burn your digital CD tracks that were converted from vinyl?
If "Help" for that app does not tell you how to reorder your digital tracks for CD creation, someone who uses that app may be able to tell you how they do it, but we need to know which app you are using.

How do you combine audio tracks in quicktime 10.2

Students in my class recorded some voice overs in multipe clips. We want to combine them into one track in quicktime 10.2. However the choice to copy the track is grayed out. How can we combine the tracks into one in quicktime 10.2?

You don't. Use QT 7 Pro or GarageBand instead. (Video editors will also merge multiple audio tracks but they are likely more limited than QT 7 Pro which allows up to 99 data tracks.) GarageBand, also based on older QT 7 Pro technology, allows you to segment tracks, set track or selected track segment volumes to duck track or track segments, adjust or "rubberband" master track volumes, adjust stereo pan for track or selected track segments as well as, "slide" tracks or track segments along the time axis and apply numerous enhancements beyond my ability to even remember here.

How do i record 2 tracks at the same time.

i use a mixer to hook my mics into garageband, what i want to do is have 2 separate tracks and have them able to record at the same time. ive made separate tracks for each mic but i can only highlight one at a time to record so i need to figure out how i can have both tracks highlighted and giving me levels. if anyone can shed some light on this for me that would be great. i get the feel like theres a simple solution to this.

How do I create a track with just controller MIDI data in it?

How can I create a track with just MIDI controller data in it?
For example: I'd like to create a track that issues a bank change/patch change and sets the default volume for that track, and that's it.
I can then use this setup as a template for future projects.
How can I do this?
It seems like LPX will not allow me to enter any controller data into a track without first defining a region. However, it seems that LPX also won't allow me to create a region with just controller data in it.
Ideas?
Thanks

Let me qualify, I'm using Logic 9, not upgrading for various reasons.
Is this for an external Instrument? If so it's very easy to do using the inspector, but first you have to create an instrument in the environment. (at least in L9 and the way I do it, which is old school) Here's an example of an external instrument setup in the Environment.
A multi Instrument is created, channels 1, 2, 3, & 9 are active. Patch names are entered, format for bank change is selected. (just happens I selected channel 14 to open the patch names). This Instrument will now appear in the arrange page, and you can set patch change, bank change, volume & pan.

How to delete multiple music tracks

how to delete multiple music tracks?

I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

How to stop while loop when a specified function is terminated?

I want to make a program which has 2 thread, one of which is to control some devices, and the other is to measure outputs of the devices.
To do that, I should make a 2 independent loops, but there comes a problem here.
I want to terminate 2 loops at the same time, but it's difficult for me to do that, because when I try to notify upper sequence's termination to lower loop by some value change, they have some dependency.
That's why I need your help. I want to know how to stop lower loop when the upper sequence's termination keeping their independency.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Is the upper loop commanding the lower loop at all? I would think you would have some type of communication between the loops. Just use that communication to send a stop command. Or the next best way is to just simply use a notifier.

How to make a commentary track in iDVD and iMovie 6

Could someone please explain how to make a commentary track using iMovie6 and iDVD? I think I will be able to import the commentary track onto the second sound track in iMovie 6 with no problem. I just can't figure out how to make it an optional track in the final DVD.

Yes, you can put the commentary track on the second sound track in 06. You can also attach a mic and make the commentary as a recording. I will caution that you will need to depress any original sounds associated with the film so that it does not sound like a garbled mess with both tracks competing. I imagine you know how to grab the volume level line in the audio track and nudge it lower or higher?
I also don't see any other option than including two versions of the film on the DVD. Pretty simple fix if it will fit... I would export the plain film first before adding the other audio (or you can simply uncheck one of the audio tracks while exporting to mute it).

How to set a loop on an .flv so that an exported .swf loops?

hi there. i am using Flash CS4 and I would like to know how to set a loop in an flv file so that when it is exported to swf, the movie will loop. Basically i have taken an existing interactive flash movie and have decompiled it into its individual flv counterparts. what i intend to do is take out all the nonsense from each flv file and then reconstruct the flash movie, export each file to swf and then convert each swf to avi or some other video format. to do this i will be using sothink swf to avi converter which allows you to convert swf files to avi files. this program allows you to convert swf files that loop by looping the swf file for as long as you want until you stop it, in which a video file is created from "the recording"
after i decompiled the original file, many of the existing flv files were already set to loop. i know this because when exported to swf the swf file would loop. now when i went ahead and went into each flv file to edit a couple things, when i went to export them to swf, the swf files wouldn't loop. mind you, some of them did loop, and some of them did not loop. the ones i have edited are all supposed to loop and i cannot figure out what it is thats preventing some of the flv or exported swf files to loop. all i did was take out a few unnecessary frames from the beginning of each flv and nothing more. i am pretty new to Flash and do not know anything about coding and know very little about flash settings.
i figured that selecting the "loop playback" option in the control drop down menu might help seeing as the flv file does loop when played in the editor, but again when exported to swf the swf file does not loop. what confuses me the most is that some of the exported swf files do loop. ALL of the exported swf files need to loop and my guess is that in order to make that happen, something in the flv file needs to be set correctly.
can someone please assist me with this issue? if there is a way to simply loop an existing swf file that does not loop, can someone tell me how to do that? any help with this problem is greatly appreciated and i appologize if something like this has been asked before.... i just couldnt stand looking through 22 pages of search results to find the exact solution to my problem
thank you!!!

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.
