HT3819 How do I convert WAV files in iTunes Library to MP3?

I have a SwiMP3 device that plays music through headphones while I swim. It only accepts MP3 files and many of the files in my iTunes library are WAV files. How do I convert these to MP3? Thanks, David T

In your iTunes, set Edit/Preferences/Import Settings to MP3. Then highlight the song you want to convert and click on Advanced/Create MP3 version. A second version of the song will now appear in your Library.

Convert wav files into iTunes

Okay this is the challenge.
Have both PC and Macs but have a huge library of music on my PC.
Need to convert it for use in iTunes.
Pretty much I can figure that out but I also want all the album information too.
So the question is do I install iTunes on the PC and import the files as Apple directs or is there a third party software that will convert it all to MP3 and then just import it into iTune on my Mac?
Any help would be great, thanks.
Mark

If music quality is important to you dont convert wav to mp3, you lose a great deal of audio quality! You should be able to save your itunes library file and move all your songs over to your mac and then when you open itunes hold down the option key before you click the itunes icon. It will ask you to chose an itunes library. Then just locate the itunes library file you put on your mac and so long as all your music is in the same folder structure as it was on the previous computer it should all sync up.

Using usb wav files to itunes library mp3?

Ugh, 2 hrs. later I can finally ask a question,
Ok quick reference - Using a USB(16gb) with wav files I would like to add to my library and convert to mp3 (like importing a CD). I already have my preferences set to MP3 (192), like importing a CD it can automatically convert to mp3. Now using a USB mem. I would like to know how to do the same without having to go through each album to convert to MP3.
I know I cannot be alone on this, I have hundreds of albums to go through and editing and deleting each album will take months. Can't this **** program do an auto-convert like ripping a CD?
I hope my question is clear enough to understand.

O M F G ! I am such a NOOB, I didn't know it was a link to a file download.
Are you for real Clark? Ok i'm goin' for it honey!
we'll see what happens.
well so far, what music I already have the info was reversed on all tracks. Album is now Artist and or Genre "ClusterFu*k" of info all out of order. Album art is whatever Hal wants it to be, and the all new 'import' feature ... drum roll please.
POOP! I feel a bubblin' comin'.
Oh well I'm early enough into the redo my itunes 5 times a year, that I can... YES!! START OVER AGAIN!! weeeee!.....
Oh yeah, don't forget to delete the new file -WA WAAAa WA, WAAAAAAA!

How to move my music file to iTunes library

On June 20, 2008, I burned 149 songs by the same singer into a DVD and also a CD-R. Later, I somehow lost most of these songs from my iTunes music library. Today, however, I seem to have found them, or almost all of them. I found them in Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Annette Hanshaw>Red Hot Jazz.
How can I move these songs from where I found them to my iTunes music library?

2nd reply: As it turned out, I could do it. I just dragged the icon "Red Hot Jazz" out of the Hard Drive with my cursor into the Annette Hanshaw screen of my iTunes library. It was easy, although I did make one mistake that I'm going to have to correct. The mistake I made was that because it looked to me as if the transfer of files was being done in installments, I dragged the icon into the iTunes page many times. However, when I saw that it was going to transfer 800+ files, I realized that what I had done was simply to put several copies of each song in the iTunes library. Now I have to delete the extra copies, but I'm not complaining. Now I'm going to go after all of those song files that are scattered throughout my hard drive, and consolidate them into my iTunes library. There will probably be many extra copies, but fixing that will be a simple matter. Tedious, but simple. Thanks for your help.

How do I make invisible files in iTunes visible on mp3?

Some of my tracks in iTunes "cannot be replaced because they are invisible" so I cannot transfer them from iTunes to the mp3. Any solution to this?

IS this message coming from iTunes or the mp3 player your using? Doesn't sound like iTunes...
You didn't say what player you're trying to load up with music, or how you're doing it, but most MP3 players can play only mp3-formatted files. iTunes can hold tracks in other formats, so that might be your issue.

In iTunes 10 how do I convert WAV files to Mp3?, In iTunes 10 how do I convert WAV files to Mp3?

In previous versions there was a simple tag for this in the Advanced window. In the current version there is no such option. Can someone advise?

Do you mean iTunes 10 or 11?
I'm pretty sure this is controlled by the import settings for CDs. Go to "preferences->general",
and click "Import settings" next to the CD line. You can select MP3 or AAC there.

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.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

Hi Plissey1950,
Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response. Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them). If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
Thanks,
David

how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert. If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here. Google.

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save it in my word files.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

Hi williamf,
For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara

Converting WAV files to AAC Error convert Can't read from or write to disk

For several weeks I had no problem converting WAV files (from an Olympus Digital Recorder) to AAC format in iTunes, then one day I clicked "Convert Selection to AAC" and received the message "Error occured while converting the file. The disk could not be read from or written to." There is no Error # associated with the Error message.

I recently spent over 14 hours converting all my CD songs to WAV. WAV conversion was the only one of two options available with my older Nero software, and MP3 conversion was not an option. I intended to make mixed CD's. By the time I was done, I had over 300 songs that take up over 17 GB in this WAV format.
The thought of sitting even more endless hours making these CD's made me even more exhausted, and I realized that I should get with the times and get an MP3 player. So, I bought an iPod directly from Apple two days ago (12/16), and get this, MaclessInAZ, the sales person told me that I all my WAV files could be imported into my iPod with iTunes. (!!!)
I am very glad to have read this thread before I got my iPod. I would have been so upset if there was no easy solution. My new iPod is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, and I am looking forward to getting it. Many thanks to weavercs for the information on the Switch program that converts WAV to MP3. Even if I decide to buy the full version of Switch, it is a lot less expensive than other conversion programs that I just found online, like Roxio.
