How to convert .mp3 or wma to m4b to player faster or slower in ipod

Hi, is there an application for the mac or even the pc, where I can take my medical class lectures were are 2 hours in length and convert a wma or mp3 to a audiobook file so they can be played in the ipod at a faster or slower rate? I read that I can put them in itunes and change it to aac and then change the m4a to m4b and the files will be as an audiobook which can be played blacker at a faster rate on my ipod. It didn't work. I have audio books that I bought from audible.com and they play at a faster or slower rate, I would love this feature for the lectures that I record from my class. Is this possible?
Thank in advance for all your help.

I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
There are no restrictions on iSquint.
There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

  • QT Pro converts mp3 to wma?

    I have a new cell phone that (Verizon RAZR) that only plays WMA music files. I've read that you can convert mp3 files to wma using QT Pro. Is that true? If so, how do I do it?
    If not, can anyone tell me a way to convert mp3s to wma files? I've heard that Flip4Mac can do this, but I'm not willing to pay $50 for the privilege.

    You might want to save up for Flip4mac. Or google for some shareware wma converter or exporter. Flip4mac cheapest paid version exports from Windows Media to QT. The more expensive two add exporting to Windows media. YOu need to export to WMA.

  • Converting MP3 to WMA

    I have a new phone and it only plays WMA audio files. I cannot seem to find a converter that will convert MP3 to WMA. It seems like all the converters I find for macs do every other conversion but that one.

    Hi Makemusic,
    The only app out there for Windows media conversion so far as I know are the products offered by Flip4Mac. Specifically, the product you would be most likely interested in is the WMV Studio. It should easily accomplish your exporting needs. However, it comes with a $50 price tag. Good Luck!

  • Converting MP3s to WMAs

    Is there a way to convert a MP3 to a WMA. My cell phone will only recognize WMA files. I have a Micro SD card I can put the files onto, I just need to convert the files to WMA. Yes I have Windows Media Player installed (version 9), but can't figure out how to get the music to play through it.

    I poked around the web a little and it looks to be kind of hard to get technical specs on mp3s for this phone. I had a Moto Razr V3xx a while back and it was kind of finicky about playing music files.
    I imagine that the phone will play mp3's, but only at particular bit rates. Basically, they have slimmed down the music player to run faster on the phone by only equipping it to play a limited set of mp3 or wma settings.
    When an mp3 is made of a song, it is encoded digitally with a couple of options. The Bit size and the Sample rate are the two that are adjusted most often. Bit size is how much information is captured about the sound you are hearing and the sample rate is how often the information is captured. These can be varied depending on a trade-off between audio quality VS file size.
    Unfortunately, I'm not sure what bit sizes and sample rates the music player in your phone knows how to play. iTunes can create mp3s at any of them (see Preferences>Advanced>Importing) so you might experiment with a few settings and see which ones your phone understands.
    The note about letting the phone format the SD card is a good one, too.

  • How to convert mp3 software instrument samples to format garageband can use

    Hi and thanks in advance.
    I'm using GB '08 on OSX 10.4.11 w/ a G4 MDD. ( Sorry folks,  This is the setup that I have and cannot buy a new computer or software at this time)
    I'm pretty new too DAW and all of this but want to compose music with traditional orchestra sounds as well as what GB offers.
    I have found Muse Score and I can get some pretty good results for writing but I want to expand the software instrument voices that GB has.
    I found  http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/thesoundexchange/make_music/samples/library/
    and they have some pretty good sounding software instruments for free, except that they are in mp3 format.
    I did some reading and see that GB understands a different format for this. I put some of the sounds into the correct GB folder as a test and result is of course no go. I see that GB uses exs and cst files in addition to wav and aff files.
    How do I convert mp3 software instrument samples to the formats garageband can use? Is there a way? What would I need to do this?
    Thanks again..

    The first step would probably be to convert the samples into AIFF files, that's what GB's sample files are in.
    But so far that's only a collection of samples - what you need is a sampler file that tells the software which sample to trigger with which key (the .exs files in GB's instrument library).
    Since your software is old, t works pretty well with soundfonts (the latest versions have problems), so you might try this software to create them:

    P.S.: The softare costs $60, but you can create 10 instruments for free.

  • How to convert .MP3 files into .AAC with iTunes 10.5.2

    Im running a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and my iTunes version is 10.5.2.
    I want to convert .MP3 files into .AAC using iTunes, but no option is given for me. What should I do?

    im not going to change all my songs into AAC, I was experiementing around with making ringtones for my iphone. I can open a song in Garageband, and export it as an AAC file to my itunes, but it is very annoying. I remember older versions of itunes having a "Convert to AAC" option, but i can't find it anymore on this current version of itunes.
    Basically, I want to convert a couple songs into AAC to create ringtones out of them.

  • How to convert mp3 to podcast

    I want to convert mp3 files, (lectures) as podcasts to play them on the iphone. The iphone just imports them into music and plays them as songs on the iphone. Just changing the Options to podcast, in the info section doesn't change it on the iphone, only in itunes on the mac?

    Here is the answer that works well. The instructions may seem long, but it really isn't hard to do once you've tried it.
    To make mp3 files into podcasts:
    First, in itunes, find the mp3 file(s) in the music section, and hit edit, then delete. It will tell you that
    it will remove it from itunes and the iphone, click OK.
    Then it will ask you if you want to put the file in the trash or keep the file
    in the music folder. Keep the file. This will remove it from itunes, and the iphone, which is what you want.
    Second, open up a finder window on the mac. Navigate to the itunes music folder,
    which is in machd/users/johnsmith/music/itunes/itunes music. Then open another finder window alongside the one that is showing the itunes music folder. In that finder window, create a unique named new folder on the desktop, such as "movedmusic". Now, go to the itunes music folder and drag the mp3 file over to the "movedmusic" folder and drop it there. Now, the mp3 file is no longer in itunes at all.
    Third, go back to itunes main screen, click File, then "add to library". It will open a mini finder window of it's own. Navigate to the "movedmusic" folder you created on your desktop and select the mp3 file, and let it import into itunes.
    Don't worry about where itunes puts it. iTunes will put it in "songs", but that is ok. It is still seen as "new" to itunes.
    Fourth, go to the "music" at the top left of itunes menu. Find the newly imported mp3 file. Right click and select "get info". Open "options" and change it from "music" to "podcast" and hit OK. Now, you will see it disappear from the main screen in music. Go to podcasts on the left menu, and it will now be in podcasts. But WAIT! There is one more step to do or it won't sync to your iphone. Now go to the iphone on the left hand menu and select it under "devices". Then go to the iphone's "podcasts" tab, and you'll see the mp3 file you just added as a podcast. Make sure you put a check in the checkbox, that will tell itunes to sync your newly added mp3 PODCAST to your iphone. Then go over to File at the top of itunes and select "sync iphone". After the iphone syncs, your mp3 will be on your iphone in the podcast menu, and not in the songs menu!

  • Zen Micro, Windows Media 10 converts MP3 to WMA when copyi

    My music files stored on the computer are MP3 encoded at 92kbs. When I copy a track to my Micro, an automatic conversion to WMA format takes place before the track is copied over. Now, in an ideal world I wouldn't mind a conversion to MP3 at 60kbs to save a little space on the Micro, but I would like to know how to control the conversion or not of file formats with Windows media. The Micro is 5gb and has firmware version 2.2.02.

    Many thanks. My confusion arose from assuming that WM0 would convert to another MP3 format at 60kbs, but of course this is a WMA file. I presume that if I wish to store my music at a high sampling rate on the computer, but require it to be converted down a couple of notches to transfer to my Micro, this would have to be a seperate process?

  • How to convert mp3 CD audiobook for ipod?

    I use Audiobook Builder to convert Auciobook CDs to an ipod-compatible bookmarkable format, and the program handles all of the steps transparently.  in iTune 10, how can I make this same conversion from an mp3 audiobook CD into iTunes?  I tried following the instructions for this from an earlier post on this discussion group, but have run into a problem.  When I select all of the MPEG audiofiles from the mp3 CD and instruct iTunes via the Advanced Menu to "Create AAC Version", iTunes says that it is converting the files track by track.  BUT, when it is done, I still have only MPEG audio files showing, no AAC converted files.  Thanks for any suggesions.

    Thank you for your posting, which is very helpful, however it will be better if you can post on the Video forum as well

    The iPhone supports mp3, but you cannot add them directly to the iPhone without iTunes.  Add the mp3 files to iTunes first, then transfer the songs from iTunes to the iPhone.

  • How to convert MP3 to Iphone text tone

    Hi guys
    Can any good soul please help me.
    Thanks

    At this time, you cannot make a custom TEXT tone for the iPhone.
    You can make custom ringtones, the sound the phone makes when the call comes in... but not for a text message.
    You have several "text message" choices on the iPhone, but this is all you can use for now.
    There are no applications that can make the custom text tone as there is no way to load it on the iPhone to recognize it.
