How do I transport an MP3 file to play elsewhere

I'm trying to save MP3 files of a national talk show host- Bruce Williams, in a way that I can play these files in the car. Each of these files is 1 hour long and somebody in the forum said that I could only get 1 hour saved on each CD, which is right. He also said something about being able to save these files in a way in which they could be played on an MP3 player. In that case I could get 10 hours. I really no nothing of MP3 and was wondering if somebody could help with this. Is there a device that could play these files in the car, so that several people could hear at one time. Is there a boom box or portable player. Also how do I get files from my Mac to the player? Thanks for your help.

MP3 is not a type of disk, rather it is just a type of file that you would burn to a regular CD (using iTunes or Toast or the Finder). The MP3 files take up less room than regular audio tracks on a CD. But they are burned to a CD in the same way (using your computer's CD burner). As mentionned above you have to make sure you have an MP3 compatible CD player to play them in. Most new portable CD players will do this. Just check the packaging - playing MP3s is an advertised feature.
Edited to add: you could also skip the CD burning route altogether and buy a disk-based MP3 player, such as an iPod. You would then transfer your MP3 files (or other types of music files) to the device using USB. You would then listen to the music through headphones, or through your sterio speakers or your car speakers (accessory cable needed).

How do you convert an MP3 file to play in iTunes.

I followed the directions in the Technical Support Section and when I highlight the file and click on it, the advanced tab doesn't allow you to highlight the "convert" option since it only appears in light grey. Any suggestions?

Ok. Are you sure that they are .mp3 files? In iTunes, highlight one of the offending files and Get Info. What does it say on the Summary tab next to format? Does it say MPEG-1, Layer 3? If yes, it's an .mp3 file. If not, what does it say. If it really is an mp3 file, opening it with Quicktime. What happens? If it's an mp3 file, it may have corrupted tag information. iTunes is rather sensitive to that. You can try going to the Advanced menu in iTunes and selecting Convert ID3 tags.... I'd choose version 2.4 and see if that helps.
Best of luck.

How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!

it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

Everybody's wrong wrong wrong. You don't need garageband. Select the song, go to info. You need to select a start and stop time for the song that can't be any longer than 40 seconds in length. Then in advanced mode you convert the song to acc. once done locate the file on the computer. it should end in .m4a . Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable audio file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
1. Save a JPEG as: abc.jpg
2. Save a JPEG as: abc
3. Save a JPEG as: abc.
4. Save a JPEG as: abc.xxx
Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
1. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with): abc
2. No difference than 3 on a PC.
3. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.
4. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.xxx
How is it different from the above on a Mac?
Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here? I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is Playing

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is
Playing
Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem.
I am trying to change a text cast member's color dynamically
based on which audio file is currently playing.
I have 4 Text Cast member buttons named
Play Song 1
Play Song 2
Play Song 3
Play Song 4
I am successfully playing the 4 songs in a queue like this
(ie. If "Play Song 1" sprite text member is pressed then...
sound(1).queue(member "Song1")
sound(1).queue(member "Song2")
sound(1).queue(member "Song3")
sound(1).queue(member "Song4")
sound(1).play
What I would like to do is to have the currently playing song
text color changed to a different value, say Green.
So if "Song2" in the queue starts to play then the text "Play
Song 2" would become Green. When done it would then turn back to
black then "Song3" starts to play and "Play Song 3" text script
button would then turn from black to Green an so on.
These are the codes I've tried in the frame script and none
seem to work...
on enterFrame me
if sound(1).status = 3 then member("Play Song 1").foreColor=5
(This works but only for the first song because "Play Song 1"
is directly named and clicked on.)
else member("Play Song 1").foreColor=255
end if
I have tried to make a reference to the playing song and so
far each of these doesn't work...
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.sound.member).foreColor=5
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.color=rgb(0,255,0)
--if sound(1).status = 3 then member
(sound(1).member).foreColor=5
--text = member(whichMember).scriptText
end
Is there any way to reference the song name text cast
member??
I thought I had it when I discovered sound(1).member but
sound(1).showProps returns the playing sound.member as
member: (member 28 of castLib 1) nothing there I can use?
It doesn't show the member name and
It doesn't show the song name "Song1" which I could then
match up to the "Play Song 1" text
I'm pretty new to lingo so specific code examples would be
appreciated.
Can anyone help??? Thanks!!!

did you get anywhere with this?
When applying a styleClass to a af:showDetailItem, it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.

Save link as option vanished in firefox 17.0.So now not able to download mp3 files.Instead click on mp3 files starts playing in some black player in firefox.
Earlier i was able to download mp3 files by pressing on link for some time and menu popus up "Save link as" but after recent update that option is gone.
That option is desperately needed.
One more thing is MP3 file start playing in black player on firefox when i actually want to download them and then play it.

I still have the "Save link as" option in my context menu with FF 17. Maybe something went wrong with the update?

How can I put my mp3 files into my iTunes library? Every time I download a song from a website and try to drag it to my library, it won't add on. How can I fix this?

Back then when I had the older update with iTunes i never had this problem with trying to put my mp3 files of music into my iTunes library. Now it doesn't want to be put into the library. Once I try to drag the music file to the iTunes library nothing happens, it just keeps showing a cancellation sign with my mouse. So how can I fix this?

Hi William.
The problem is probably that the index is corrupt and you need to completely re-create it rather than rebuilding individual mailboxes. I have no idea what the situation really is now after having tinkered with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/, though, so the following procedure may or may not work.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

Hello,
I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
Thank you.

Eugene,
Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook. They will not create a single continuous MP3.
iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3. The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled. The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.

How do I move a .mp3 file I created in my music software to iTunes?

My music software now has .mp3 creation capabilities, with ID tags. I am trying to insert one file as a test (and the ID tags are filled in). In my PC running Windows 7, I navigated to Music\iTunes\iTunes music\[new folder] and place the .mp3 file there. But when I open iTunes, my file does not appear in the list. I've clicked on all the subcategories to alpha them, but no luck. How do I install this? I need to know because I am going to offer .mp3 files with a book I've written, which is being published now.
Thank you!

You need to open iTunes first then drag and drop the mp3 file onto the Music section of iTunes to get the file imported.

How do I save a mp3 file?

How can I save a free mp3 file to my iPad without using a computer to do so?

You can use Dropbox or some similar cloud storage service. It will also play from within Dropbox, but I don't believe there's a way to get it to iTunes without a computer.

How do i add a mp3 file purchased from amazon to show on my iPhone iTunes library?

i purchased an mp3 file from amazon and added it to my itunes library on the imac. However, when i synced my iphone, the mp3 file (song) does not show on the itunes library. What could I be doing wrong?

1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
3. Right mouse click the mp3 again and choose “Create AAC Version”
4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
7. *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
