How to make audio cd images in leopard?

I'm not trying to duplicate music. much of my music doesnt have album art and track info. its stored as mp3 in itunes. itunes refuses to pull up track info as they were not imported by it. so what i am trying to do is make audio cd copies of it and then reimport it to itunes. now, i have like 2000 songs. burning an actual disk would be a pain. in windows i would normally use nero to make an audio cd 'image' which can be mounted into a virtual drive.
using disk utility i figured out how disk images of cd and dvd sizes can be made but the burn disk option (in itunes) only shows the super drive burner to burn an audio cd image to. any help?

This hardly clears my doubt, however, my point stands, if the info is NOT in an MP3, burning it to a disc OR creating a CD image is NOT going to help you (or iTunes) find the unique CD ID and get the missing info. NO, NO, NO
There's no "unique CD ID". All iTunes does is look at the number and the length of each track on the CD, and measure that against what's in the online database. The closest match is offered up. If there's nothing close, then nothing is offered up.
I took a vinyl record and imported the whole thing as an AIFF file. I chopped up the tracks into little bits, and then used Toast to burn the results to a CD. iTunes recognized it as a commercial CD release of the same album, and downloaded the correct artwork and all the track names. I was blown away the first time it happened, and it has happened again several more times with various old vinyl albums.
It hasn't worked every time, but it has worked enough times for me to believe that the OP will have luck with his .mp3 files if he can burn them into a playlist that closely resembles the original commercial CD.

  • How to make an icon image using Photoshop

    I found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libararies tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and Photos
    First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for photoshop which can be downloaded here:
    http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
    The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above.
    Once you have that all set you can now launch photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/256x256_zpsbf3dcf8e.png~original[/IMG]
    Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the
    basic blending options.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/IconImage_zpsd788c709.png~original[/IMG]
    The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed  in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see.
    So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
    file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/SampleicoPic_zpsd252bfba.png~original[/IMG]
    So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/NewLibrary_zps8ca703b2.png~original[/IMG]
    Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Sample1_zpsb5472840.png~original[/IMG]
    So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place.
    Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click
    tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries
    Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/showhiddenfolder_zpsad4a3c94.png~orig inal[/IMG]
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Libraries_zpsf6243bc0.png~original[/IMG]
    Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Notepad_zps251a86f0.png~original[/IMG]
    once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
    <iconReference>c:\"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
    Example:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/iconreference_zps1c1a3eca.png~origina l[/IMG]
    Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Finished_zps267f893a.png~original[/IMG]
    Now you are officially finished. Go and spread the news and joy. Bye for now

    It is Windows only because all those screen shots are exclusively Windows, the file structure and paths do not resemble those of the Mac in the least.  As a Mac user, there's nothing I could take from your tutorial.  Sorry, 
    No drives named with letters like C: on the Mac, for instance.  No backward slashes either, ever.  No such paths either.  No "Notepad" on the Mac, we use TextEdit; but such a text editor is not remotely needed on the Mac to make and/or edit icons.  Etc.
    Those folders are not even called "Libraries" on the Mac…  Nothing resembling your tutorial at all.
    The icons in the Finder's Sidebar are not customizable at all in recent version of OS X.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

    Thank You

    The easiest method is to type Command + and that will make make the image larger. However you can also go to System Preferences - Displays and adjust the display resolution too. Finally, you can use Mavericks zoom capabilities as explained in:

  • How to make high resolution image?

    Hi All, I am in an urgent requirement where I have few .tif images. There size is very high. When I am uploading, there resolution is not good and they are automatically converted to jpg.
    Can some one tell me "How to make this image high resolution image" Is there any setting or tips and tricks?
    Reply immidiatly,

    The original image is in MDM. I think what you may be getting confused by is the thumbnail view. The thumbnail view is automatically generated to give you just a low res view of the original from within MDM, likely for the sake of performance.
    If you go to the Images table and right click on the image and select "view original" you will see that the high res original that was loaded is still there. You can also create image variants through the Console to generate other versions of the original to use for web or print. I don't think you can change the defaults used for the thumbnail.

  • How to make a background image appear to grow slowly as text happens front

    How do I make a background image which is simply a static image of Earth in space "seem to grow closer" by just slowly enlarging the image as text appears in front of it? Can't seem to find anything intuitive on how to accomplish this. I'm sure it's simple but I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it.

    Double click your image to load it into the viewer. On the top of the viewer are 3 tabs, select the one that says "Motion." Inside of this tab you can animate any video or still image. For what you are wanting to do the Scale option will be the place to start. I think Scale is pretty self-explanatory, but just in case...click the keyframe button and type in a number for the scale (like 90). Scrub down a bit with the playhead and type in a new number next to scale (like 175). A new keyframe is created and you have yourself a zoom in.

  • How to Make Audio Video Broadcasting Programe using JMF

    hi i m newto java programing i wan to know can any one help me out how to transimit audio and video over netwrok from one pc to other computer voer the network . i m using my webcam to transmit video can any one of u email me the code if any one has made such application like this .. my email is [email protected]

    Well you've found the root of your problem. It's not necessary the JMF. It's when you make a jar file, you need to include the dependencies. I don't think it' legal to include the JMF in a program you sell or distribute, so be careful there.
    However, to include dependencies in jar files is not a hard task. The simplest method is to unjar the dependency and place it at the top or your classpath; then make a jar that includes both your program, and the dependency.
    A more long term solution is to use a build system such as ant or maven to create the package using available scripts or plugins. The "Uberjar" plugin for maven comes to mind.

  • How to Make Audio Books

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this topic but I have a 80 GB Black Classic and was wondering how to make a audio book to add to my iPod.
    I have several audio books on CD that have numerous chapters in them. Is there some type of conversion program to convert these to files that can be loaded onto the iPod or are they just mp3 files when added? If they are just mp3 files, will they load onto the music playlist or how due you make them show up in the Audio books menu?
    Adding files from a CD does not seem to be a problem as far as converting or ripping them to iTunes to be then synced to the iPod, but I do not know if a different type of file is needed other than mp3 to be able to play them as a audio book.
    Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance
    Mr. Hoz

    If you had a Mac, you could take it a step further and add chapter like Audible does. I came across a a AppleScript called Join Together which uses a tool from Apple called ChapterTool. Basically, you select the files to join and run Launch Join Together from the iTunes script menu. A dialog box pops up allowing to set the Artist, track info, release year, Album, etc. It also lets you set the output bit rate, frequency, and stereo/mono. It will either output a .m4a file (music) or a .m4b file (audiobook). If you have Apple's ChapterTool install, it will have an option to add chapter names based ont he song titles.
    Example: I have a dramatized version of the NIV Bible which wad a separate mp3 file for each chapter. So, it was broken into 1189 files:
    Song : Album
    Genesis 01 : 01 Genesis
    Genesis 02 : 01 Genesis
    Genesis 03 : 01 Genesis
    Exodus 01 : 02 Exodus
    Exodus 02 : 02 Exodus
    Exodus 03 : 02 Exodus
    Revelation 20 : 66 Revelation
    Revelation 21 : 66 Revelation
    Revelation 22 : 66 Revelation
    After using Join Together, I now have only 68 .m4b files, one for every book except Psalms which I split into three parts (001-050, 051-100, 101-150). Now when I select oneof the books on the iPod, a list of chapters are shown except for r the 5 books that only have one chapter (Test: name the 5 books without looking them up. .
    I in the proces of doing this for more books which I kept the individual chapter files like _Teach Yourself Norwegian_ (2 CDs) and two _Birding By Ear_ books (3 CDs each).
    For some reason the Join Together script errors out about 10% of the time and I have to re run it. I haven't tried to troubleshoot the issue, yet. Also at the beginning when it starts to join the tracks, the script plays all of the files being joined all at the same time for about 10 to 30 seconds. What a noise that is!
    Enjoy life,
    Steven

  • How to add audio to image sequence?

    I've imported a Photoshop image sequence into FCP X 10.1.1.  Dropped it on the timeline, created a compound clip.  So far I can't figure out how to add audio of any kind.  I've tried starting over, making sure properties had audio setting enabled.  No change though.  No matter what I try, no audio tab in the inspector.  What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Are you importing an audio file that is seperate? Otherwise it is attached to your video. in the timeline, choose expand audio & video. You can import almost any format. Import it into the same event that you are in - a song from your desktop or from your folder where you copied all your contents from your camera card or music from ITunes (in which case you use the audio tab on the far right of the timeline UNDER THE INSPECTOR).
    How did you import your media?:
