How to import multiple folders into itunes at ones

I have 40 gb of music that i have transfered to my new macbook pro, They are in thousands of folders and praying that there is a way/ app to do this. Thanks

Don't move them then consolidate. That won't add them to iTunes.
You can...
File > Add to library and select the top level folder with the music
Drag the top level folder to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes.
FYI: I keep a shortcut of the /Automatically add to iTunes/ folder on my desktop. Then just drop stuff onto the shortcut to add to iTunes.

How to import multiple songs into iTunes

Hello there...
I am fairly new to iTunes and am becoming frustrated with this particular issue. Prior to using iTunes, I used Kazaa, where whenever a song was added to My Shared Folder, Kazaa would update the library instantly. I want to have the same sort of thing with iTunes. For example, one of my friends filled my USB drive with music today. When I came home and plugged it into my computer, I dragged and dropped all the songs into my iTunes Music folder. I expected them to appear in the library, but they're not there. I don't know how to add them all to iTunes without importing them one by one. I suppose in this case I could import my entire USB drive folder, but what if someone sends me a handful of songs as an email attachment or over MSN? How do I import those?
Thank you!

iTunes for windows doesn't "Watch" folders and files for changes like other programs. You need to goto File>add folder to library so it will "Piont" iTunes to where the music is located on the system.

How to import Flac files into itunes

Hi there,
the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
Many thanks for your help.
regards

Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

How 2 Import a CD into Itunes? I only get first few Secs of each track!!

I have just bought an Ipod and am having trouble importing my Cds into Itunes !!!
I seem to have the 'intro function' on in Itunes so I can only get the first few seconds of each track !!
Does anyone know how I can import the complete tracks and how I turn this Itunes intro setting off ?
Thanks Owen0069

hi Owen!
let's try checking up on some of the simpler possibilities:
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
these resources might be helpful with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
toonz: Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
... but if no joy, post back with your itunes "help > run CD diagnostics". one of the clever folk might be able to spot something in those.

HT1473 I have always imported my cds into iTunes using one step called 'joining cd tracks' which is done under the "Advanced" drop down menu. I then went on with the process. Half way through the process today the "join tracks' choice greyed out. Not avai

I have always imported my cds (including books) into iTunes using one step called "join cd tracks" which is under the "Advanced" menu. Never a problem. But today I was importing a 10 disc book and on the 7th disc all of a sudden the choice to join cd tracks was greyed out. I have tried it with other discs. No luck. How can I get to this option again. I was not doing anything different so don't know what took away this choice. Can anyone help me?

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

How do I import multiple playlists into iTunes?

I have a folder on my PC named "Music" inside this folder are 5,372 sub-folders each containing the songs from specific albums, and an m3u file representing the playlist for that album. I have just started using iTunes. I have imported the music from the "Music" folder, but the playlists haven't been transfered. I have attempted to import them, but it seems that I must do it one at a time? I have tried to drag and drop them all at one, but this creates on playlist file that contains all songs, rather than the 5,372 individual playlists that I desire. Is there anyway to import all of these playlists at one time, or is iTunes a big waste of time requiring my to import 5,372 individual files?

I use OSX and iTunes and have the same approach as Scarecrow. I have about 1170 Albums/CD's which have been copied at various times over the years into my Music Library file - with each Album/CD being a subfolder. Multi-CD releases are all in one subfolder. Many CD's were not copied using iTunes and as I no longer have those old CD's - I cannot recopy them. Importing them into Music makes a real mess with many subfolders now in Music as individual non-grouped songs. So, it is easier and neater for me to make each album or CD it's own playlist. It is also then very easy to access my library via my Roku Soundbridge and copies neatly into my iPod and iPhone. It would be a real plus to have a 'bulk-copy' methodology into Playlists or Music that keet all of these items 'together'. Dragging 1170+ items took a long time! If anyone has any specific approach or recommendation I would be most interested in learning it. Thanks.

How to import multiple folders?

When I want to import a folder with sub folders within it and I drag that into iTunes it does not import the subfolder structure.
Is there a way of achieving this without having to import one folder at a time?
Kevin

While in iTunes, go to File>Add to Library> then select the folder that contains the subfolders of files you want to add to your library.

How to import WMA files into iTunes to burn to CD?

My coworker gave me a voice recorder that records in WMA files. I cannot simply drag the audio file into iTunes like I have from other recorders. I need to get the audio into iTunes so I can burn to CD. Any ideas?

Problems -
EasyWMA is not free.
Switch looks fine, but after installing the wma plugin as prompted, and feeding it the first batch of .wma files, it crashed.
I'm now 'borrowing' an EasyWMA.
Pros : simple to use. you can have it process your entire music folder at once. adds songs to itunes right away.
Cons : limited functionality! E.g. there's no option for VBR (variable bit rate), so I set it to 256 fixed. E.g. when having it run through my entire music folder, there was no option to restrict it to wma files - it also worked my flac's, for which I'd already found a better solution (fluke).
Sigh Hate to complain, but hey, this stuff would be easier on Windows

How to import multiple folders with subfolders several levels deep

How do I import several hundred subfolders of a top folder into Aperture. Do I have to sit for days importing every single subfolder one by one? or is there any way to automate this procedure?
For export is there any way to macro export muliple folders/projects/albums into a set folder structure, or is it again something that has to be done laboriously one folder at a time?

For export is there any way to macro export muliple folders/projects/albums into a set folder structure, or is it again something that has to be done laboriously one folder at a time?
Yes there is. You can design a folder hierarchy and export into it. See page 490 and following in the Manual.

Problems importing multiple files into iTunes

I'm running the most recent version of iTunes. When I try to add multiple files to my itunes library a box pops up and it seems to be importing, but when the box closes, the files are not in my library. I can only add 2 or three files at a time, but no more than that. This didn't happen with the older version of iTunes. Is anyone else having the same problem, and is there a way to solve this? I have tons of files that I want to import, but at this rate, it will take months to import them. Please help!

How to import multiple elements into the same line in structure Framemaker (i.e. no carriage return between elements).

I have a successful import process going now (DTD, EDD, ReadWriteRules, and Template) that imports a number of elements, but each onto a separate line. I now need to import three elements in a row on a single line. How do I set up to do that?

Dear Wild,
A container element a structured document can either be a paragraph element, that contains one or more complete FrameMaker paragraphs (elements corresponding to chapters, titles, and list items, for instance, are typically paragraph elements), or a text range element, with content that comprises part of a paragraph. An EDD doesn't need to identify paragraph elements since containers are paragraphs by default. You make an element a text range with a text format rule that specifies TextRangeFormatting.
In your case, if you have a wrapper element that contains the three elements you want to appear on a single line, in the EDD, add a text format rule for the three inline elements that specifies TextRangeFormatting; specify the formatting of the overall paragraph in the element definition for the wrapper. If you don't have a wrapper, though, the overall paragraph will inherit formatting from whatever the containing element is; the containing element may be the document's root element or a major division such as a chapter or section. If that element's formatting is not what you want here, you can leave the "inline" elements as separate paragraph so that you can specify their formatting, but make the first two run-in heads (which is done in the Placement property of the pagination properties).

Importing multiples folders

I transferred hundreds of folders each containing 1 ippod song from my old broken computer to my new one. How do I import multiple folders into iTunes? It only allows me to select one at a time which is soooo painful. Is there a way around this?

I would first put them in the same folder. You could create a New Folder, call it For iTunes. Then move all the other folders to that folder. Then when you import from iTunes you will only be importing one folder.
There is no way in iTunes to import multiple folders at the same time (at least none I've been able to find).

How to import multiple files to the frame area?

How do I import multiple files to create animated GIF's. I
know how to import multiple files into the Fireworks, but if I'm
trying to create an animated gif that has alot of files, How do I
get them into the frames area. It is really a pain importing each
and every file one at a time frame by frame

merry1
after you bring in all your images to the canvas, select all
and in the
Frames Options drop down, select Distribute to Frames.
You can bring multiple images onto the canvas by copy and
pasting from
the folder(s) where they exist.
