How to make itunes play through all 5 of my surround sound speakers?

Hi,
I'm new so hello everyone
Received some very nice 5.1 surround sound Logitech x-530 speakers this Christmas and they are absolutely brilliant. I tried them with a DVD and the surround sound is really good. However, I can't seem to get all the speakers to play my music through itunes, i.e. only 2.1 stereo sound is played through the 2 front speakers and subwoofer. I understand that this is because MP3 is recorded in stereo sound and so only plays through 2 speakers, but I'm hoping that there is a simple way to do what is described in a similar thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=817792&#817792
The answer to my problem is described as "Rear speaker cloning", i.e. playing the same music through the rear speakers as the front. However this is from almost 5 years ago so I'm hoping that there is now a clearer solution to my problem- could I even solve my problem simply through itunes preferences? Or do i need a specific program/driver?
My "Soundmax" sound card came bundled with my ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus mobo, if it's any help.
Many thanks in advance. I would really appreciate any help or advice.

Does anyone know how to make itunes to locate ALL unfound files??

i have a bunch of missing itunes songs.. no one really knows why itunes says they can't be found because the harddrive songs are already pointed to itunes
(might have something to do with the most recent iTunes update?)
basicaly, i am getting a bunch of exclamtion points next to the songs when i try to play them..??
i have not moved anything, but it's weird, when itunes asks you to locate the files, how does one select every song, as opposed to just one at a time, in order to get all the missing songs back?
thank you!
null

ok, not sure yet, but it seems like there is a whole bunch of stuff you can do that might cause the problem... not sure what i did, but i'm willing to bet the following links will help others..
good luck

How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

Hi everyone,
So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library, Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
data elements that are embedded within the media files
data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes. Using your example:
the value of the track number element is 1
the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works. There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step. However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

That's not how it's supposed to work according to this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/italkpro/
By default, a playlist will be created in iTunes called "Voice Memos" and those files will be transferred there automatically. The files themselves can be found on your computer in your iTunes Music folder in Unknown Artist > Unknown Album.
It may be worth working through any trouble shooting articles on that site.

How to make iTunes detect the new location of music files?

Hi everyone. I moved all of my music to a different location on my hard drive, and I changed the location in iTunes preferences, but it doesn't seem to detect this, so my library is empty now. I saved an itl, xml, and temp file as well, but I don't know what to do from here.
I also tried dragging the new music folder onto the "Library" entry in iTunes, and this added everything, but I no longer have my ratings, playlists or anything like that.
Is there some other way to have iTunes detect the new location? And can I get back my ratings and playlists?
Thanks.

Dear Michael, good day!
1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
-Settings > iTunes & App Store.
-Settings > Music
I switched OFF in both.
NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
{All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete.
3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
4. Switched back On iTM
5. Taped Music app on Home screen
iTM has started – (it took 18 minutes to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
Regret to inform… All the same:
Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

You use a combination of OS X Spaces with Exposé to be able to accomplish this.
Or in your case, look at using Mission Control

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

Video playback was never an issue, because 3gp is just a container, the video codec is usually h263 or h264, which are no problem for mplayer.
Very new versions of FFmpeg have native amr-nb support. I'm not sure if it happened before or after the most recent FFmpeg bump in the repos.
