How to convert WAV to Apple Lossless?

I just bought an Ipod and have all my music on my computer in WAV format. Could someone please describe how do I convert to Apple Lossless? It isn't descrtibed in the manual.

Although the AAC format gives excellent audio reproduction with minimal compression a word of warning: if you have any other mp3 players (non ipod) it is unlikely that they will recognise and therefore be able to replay this fairly apple specific format. Further more if you wish to play these files on a pc which is not running itunes, it is likey that you will have to download an aac codec in order for them to be recognised. Although recognised as an "inferior" format mp3 (lame)is a much more portable compression and therefore will play on 99% of pc's/mac's/mp3 players. If you convert your wav files to a mp3 bit rate of >192kb/s I don't think you will notice a difference in audio quality. iTunes allows you to rip to an mp3 encode, just select it from the drop down list rather than the aac and select a bit rate of 192kb/s (or more) from the setting tab, the default is 128kb/s. Your mp3 encoded files will also take less space on your ipod.
Just thought you may like to know of further options...

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
Many thanks in advance...

iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
Then select the songs you wish to convert.
From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
That's it.
BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

How to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless

how to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless

Handbrake really is only for converting video and the audio attached to that video. With that said, there are many efficient ways to do this, personally, I am perfectly content just converting the file into a .wav files (it has the same 1411kbps), however you will have to re-tag everything. If you don't want to re-tag everything you can aslo just convert to .alac using Foobar2000 (Windows).
Also, if the reason that you don't want to keep it as a .flac files is because your iPod doesn't support it, if it is a Classic, then you can just install Rockbox and it supports .flac natively.

What Are FLAC and ALAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), as its name suggested, is a free lossless audio codec. FLAC can compress audio to about 50~60% without any quality loss. This format has been widely accepted by many Hi-Fi systems and audiophiles.
Apple Lossless, also known as Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), or Apple Lossless Encoder (ALE), is an audio compressing format, developed by Apple Inc. for lossless data compression of digital music. After initially keeping it proprietary from its inception in 2004, in late 2011 Apple made the codec available open source and royalty-free. Traditionally, Apple has referred to the codec as Apple Lossless, though more recently they have begun to use the abbreviated term ALAC when referring to the codec.
Here is a step by step guide on how to convert FLAC to ALAC. It also introduces a way to convert FLAC to many other audio formats like MP3, WAV, AAC, AC3, M4A, etc and vice versa.

Converting files to Apple Lossless without keeping originals

Can someone let me know if it is possible to convert files to Apple Lossless without actually keeping the original file. I converted all my files and now my whole library is duplicated! Also need to kneo the quickest way to erase all my duplicated files.

Just a note: you don't say what format the tracks were that you converted, but unless they were AIFF or lossless WAV, there was no point in converting them to Apple Lossless. Once you have a "lossy" format such as AAC or MP3, data is thrown away and there's no way to get the lost data/quality back. So if it was MP3, AAC, WMA or compressed WAV tracks, converting them to Lossless gets you nothing but larger file sizes.
You might already know this, but just wanted to mention it.
Regards.

How do i keep my apple lossless files when I use iTunes match?

When I started using iTunes Match, my Apple Lossless and aiff lossless files were converted to lower quality 256 files in iTunes on my mac. How do I stop this from happening? I want to keep the Lossless files as they are.
Thanks
Bud

Sorry ...... but .....
Would it make a difference when I used iMatch .... I started the service the day it was made available. Was it an original issue and has since been corrected?
-iTunes and the music files were on my iMac internal Hard Drive. Only 1 iTunes Library.
-No alternate iTunes libraries were created ergo match not turned on to an alterante.
-The original files were added to the iTunes Library from an external hard drive ... which were copied to my internal hard drive by iTunes. (Advanced tab feature) The external backup drive (4TB Seagate Mac Drive) is only connected when I use it to backup physical files. I do not use a backup program. Everything is copied its own folder. Most files were ripped from my cd's i.e. to the external Drive using XLD. Not one pirated file. a few HD albums purchased from HD Tracks.
-I even tried re-adding some of the Original FLAC files to iTunes again. They were physical in my iTunes on the internal hard drive. They were also replaced.
The fact is .... The Original Files were altered. They had not been deleted and replaced, they were altered. They were the original files on my internal hard drive. Only 1 copy of iTunes is on the computer.

Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
About your problem - best solution seems like that:
capture sound
put it into processor
set format to GSM
transmit
so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.

How to convert WAV to FLAC

Hi!
I have this problem, that I don't know how to convert my recorded Wave into FLAC format. Is there any way I can do it easily?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm trying to use the System Exec, but i get a quite annoying error:
C:\Programs is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
While I try to use command:
C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\LabView Projects\flac.exe -f abc.wav
I also got this VorbisEnc.dll for FLAC encoding, but I have no idea how to use the .NET connectivity tools to use it (or maybe else - I don't know what arguments should I pass to the dll to get the conversion). Anyone has some experience with stuff like this?
http://speedy.sh/2ywwY/VorbisEnc.dll
The flac.exe was downloaded from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flac/files/flac-win/flac-1.2.1-win/
Thank You for help in advance!

How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!

How to convert wav file to play on a cd player

I have wav files I recorded using my digital recorder. I want to convert and then burn to a CD so they will play on a standard CD player that doesn't accept mp3 or wav files. How do I do this?

How to convert Warning message Appl.Area V1 mess.No 428 to Error Message

Hi,
Can any one please tell me how to make a warning message to error message in Scheduling Agreement, message no is 428 and application area is V1, this message comes when the user exceeds the target Qty in Schedule line.

If a message is a custom message, then by changing the message type from W
(warning) to E(Error) we can convert the message type into error message. This is done with the help of development guy. A change in the code is needed.
If it is a standard message, then it depends on w hether we have teh access to change the message type. If access is there, then it is possible to change the message from Warning to Error. i.e. If we are capturing std SAP message in our code and displaying then we can change it, else if SAP message is displayed directly, we cant change it.
So, to change it, capture the error message from SAP in some Zcode and then convert that message into a custom message of message type E.
The whole change needs ABAP support.
Reward if it helps.

How to convert AIFF files to Lossless on a PC

Is there a simple way to convert the songs already stored in iTunes on my PC without having to "create Lossless version", make a copy and then delete the AIFF file? Using iTunes 9, have already changed the preference to Lossless, can't find a way to "convert". Thank you.
Message was edited by: s-cone

Actually i just figured out a work around of sorts. Highlight several songs > create lossless version > after the lossless versions are created, the original AIFF are still highlighted and can easily be deleted, leaving the Lossless versions on iTunes and all the AIFF are in the recycle bin. Thanks for your help.
