How to Burn Music CD from ALE to MP3 or AAC?

Tell me there's a way in iTunes to burn a Playlist from my Apple Lossless music library to a CD in either AAC or MP3 so I can fit more songs then a typical CD and listen to it in my car stereo.

So you're saying I'll need to unpack my 500+ CD's from storage, dig through them to find the songs I want, and reimport them into MP3? That's not going to happen. I didn't spend all that time importing my CD's in Apple Lossless to have to import them again, compressed, so that I can burn a playlist to a CD. That's absurdly redundant and tedious. iTunes should be able to convert a high-resolution music file into a compressed format and then burn to a CD. And why does iTunes offer 'Create Apple Lossless Version'. Not from a compressed audio file I hope. But from WAV or AIFF perhaps? Why would anyone want a larger file made from an inferior compression (MP3,...)?
Since the iTunes Store doesn't offer full resolution downloads I only import from CD's in Apple Lossless for playback in a high-end audiophile system. Any other way would be pointless and negate the reason for buying CD's in the first place. AAC (iTunes Plus) isn't bad, but it's still not full resolution. And MP3 is out of the question. I only saw it as a means to burn a lot of songs to a CD and play in my car. But I'd rather get an iPod adapter now.

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

    how to add music files from other external hard drives??

    Not sure what you are trying to achieve.. You can copy the files to anywhere you like.. but the TC is a backup target for Time Machine.. it is not a media server.. it is totally useless copying your files to the TC as they will not be backed up from there.. TC has no built in backup and TM cannot backup network drives.

    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

  • How To Transfer music files from a usb flash drive onto my thrive

    I have some music taken from my pc onto a usb flash drive.  I can play it on the thrive but want to permanently transfer it onto the thrive so I can play it without using the usb  flash drive.
    Cananyone help me?
    Thanks

    One way that I did it was to download a movie onto my laptop. Once I did that, I copied it onto an SD card. Inserted the card into my Thrive and dowloaded it from there. Or as others have mentioned, keep the movie on the SD card so that you'll have more memory on your Thrive. I went on YouTube to see how to copy from the SD to the Thrive. It's pretty easy. 

  • How to transfer music files from sonic stage to a hard drive

    Hi all
    I need your help, I am pulling my hair out here for the past 3 weeks.  I purchased a hard drive from Apple and I want to transfer all my music files from Sonic stage which in on my old Fitjitsu laptop.
    I then want to transfer the music from the hard drive to iTunes to my new mac airbook
    Any help is appreciated at this present time I am hating Apple product big time.  Maybe it will restore once I am guided at present Apple customer services who sold me the product initially couldn't help me.
    Cheers

    I am guessing this Fitjutsu laptop is running Windows which uses NTFS format drives.  If you bought a hard drive from Apple it is probably formatted for Mac use. Anyway, I don't know why you are blaming Apple. Hard drives come in one of the other format and you need one that works with both.  Sales people at many kinds of stores rarely know much about things they sell outside of immediate application.  They are trained in the things they sell but are not technically minded.  If you had bought the drive anywhere else you would be like the 2 questions I answered yesterday where people got the music onto the NTFS drive but didn't know why it wouldn't work with the Mac.
    You haven't told us much about the Fitjutsu laptop.  You may be able to use Migration Assistant to transfer the entire contents to the Mac.  This will set up a separate user account with the content.
    About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
    If you need/want to use a drive to get the music off the other computer you will need a drive with either NTFS format or FAT32 (MS-DOS) format.  With NTFS format the Mac can read but not write to the drive.  You can use it for transferring the files but it will have to be re-formatted back to Mac format for use with the Mac.  Alternatively you can reformat your Mac drive to FAT32 (MS-DOS) format using Disk Utility. Macs can both read and write to this format but is isn't really a a Mac format (Macs can't repair a FAT drive) so eventually you may wish to reformat it too back to Mac format.  Formatting a drive erases all content so once you get the content onto your Mac you will have to store it there temporarily when you format the drive back to Mac format.
    I know this is sounding complicated but Apple's answer to transferring PC content is Migration Assistant.  If you don't want to do that then yes, you are entering the realm where there is fiddly hands-on things to do.
    If this is a brand new Mac you may still be in the 90 day period where you can get free help at an Apple Store from the "Genius" bar.  I'm guessing, however, this won't extend to their formatting and reformatting a drive and transferring select content.

  • How to transfer music files from one computer to another

    Hello,
    I have home sharing enabled on both my mac and pc. I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually transfer
    songs from my mac to my pc with home sharing enabled. How do you do this?
    Step by step process please. I have the latest versions of Itunes installed on both machines.

    Hello clissmann,
    For the step by step of transfer music over using Home Sharing, take a look at the first article below. If you are stuck or having issues, then you may want to use another alternative like an external hard drive to copy that information over. The second article can help you out with that if you go that route.

  • How to stop music folder from being created when changing media folder

    When I try to change the media folder location, a new "music" folder is created - how do I stop this from happening (I already have a music folder that I want it to default to, but when I try to select it, it creates another music sub folder)
    This is a new issue - I have been using itunes for years without ever having this problem...

    That's how itunes 9 works, now. The top-level folder is considered the "Media" folder and there are music, podcast, movie, audiobook, etc subfolders.
    Which is better in a way, since before itunes 9, everything was dumped in a music folder, even audiobooks that weren't music.

  • Two users, same pc, how 2 transfer music library from 1 itunes 2 another

    both my wife and i have itunes on the same pc but i have an extensive library of music, how can i transfer all my music from my itunes into hers using ipod if needed

    You don't say how your computer is set up, I'm presuming two separate Windows user accounts. You could do a couple of things, one is simply share your current library and you'll find a guide here:"How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195
    Or if you prefer separate libraries, you could use your iPod to move a copy of your iTunes folder into the other account, the guide for that is here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en
