Import in itunes two simphonies

I want import in itunes two simphonies (for istance Beethoven n°5) but with different conductor. Well when I try to import the second CD, iYunes tell me if I want re-write it again and so I cannot have the same music but with different conductor/orchestra.
What can I do?
thanks

When you insert the CD containing the second recording click No when you get this prompt:
Then select all the tracks on the CD (Ctrl-A on the keyboard), right-click > Get Info and modify the properties shown on the Details tab so that the combination of Artist and Album (or, if the CD contains tracks by different artists - i.e., orchestra/conductor/soloist combinations - Album Artist and Album) are different from those of the existing recording in your library. So, in this example, iTunes will keep these as separate albums because the Artist value is different even though Composer and Album values are the same.
Now you can import the CD. should not get a warning about over-writing existing tracks, and will end up with separate albums in iTunes.
The underlying problem is the lack of quality control with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up the details of CDs before importing. For example, when I insert the CD for the first of the two recordings illustrated above I get four choices:
This is presumably due to Deutche Grammophon's repackaging of the same recording as part of multi-disc sets, but I'm pretty sure that the first and last shown here are the same disc in the same box set. Likewise, since anyone can submit CD details to Gracenote you may have completely different recordings being submitted with the same info, especially if the people entering the details put the composer information into the Artist field.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

ITunes - Two Libraries by Mistake on same iMac, How to Amalgamate and Deal with Duplicates?

I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 on a PPC iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11.
I have previously had lots of problems with a damaged iTunes library: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2009146?threadID=2009146&stqc=true
As a result of this (and I'm not sure how), all music I have added since I got it working again has been stored in a folder called "iTunes Music" (Macintosh HD:Users:Username:Desktop:iTunes Music) which appeared on the Desktop. I also have various iTunes Library files (plus .itdb and .xml files) on the Desktop (I didn't put them there, that's just what appeared).
All music added priror to this is in Macintosh HD:Users:Username:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music.
Everything works in iTunes (as you would expect - it just points to the relevant folder).
I would like to amalgamate the two iTuens Music folders and file all the music in the correct place (wherever that may be) - is there a simple way of doing this?
Another problem I have is duplicated music - I imported into iTunes lots (probably 20+ Gb) of duplicate albums at a higher bitrate than I previously had and deleted the existing lower-bitrate version from iTunes. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that, because of the two iTunes music folders, the older version is still stored in the older folder, even though iTunes isn't using it.
Is there a simple way to identify and remove the older lower-bitrate music from the machine without searching every single album in Spotlight?
I've spent an awfully long time correcting and completing track names, information and artwork in iTunes so I really don't want to lose any of that in the process.
Thanks in advance ...

I totally feel your pain. I too have a similar setup, a G4 running Tiger wherein I ripped my vinyl to a higher bitrate than my CD copies. I have in one of thses threads a script that was written for me that would rummage across the home network and pull down all the lower bitrate copies and move them, but I had a hard drive snafu, ran out of space and never got around to it..
I DO think however, that you can display the bitrate of the files in the list view options within iTunes and sort the files that way, and move the duplicate files you don't want to the trash. From within iTunes.. Let me go fire up the livingroom frankenbox to check..
Yup.. If you use the View Options you can sort through the master list in iTunes by bitrate..
http://imageupper.com/i/?S0300010100011D1344782818223713
Takes a bit to sort out the tracks but it's workable..
As to joining the libraries that you've gotten them cleaned up, you need to drop all the song files into a single folder and let iTunes sort them into the default location. There is a submenu here:

Know why my mix from Garage Band imported into iTunes is incomplete?

I got a spankin' new iMac and I'm trying to download original Garage Band mixes (combo of midi and real instrument tracks, no more than 12) into iTunes to write a CD. Regardless of the mix format (aif, aac, mp3), when I import into iTunes, some mixes only inlcude one or two of the tracks (the songs play perfectly in Garage Band). One attempt with a song from an aif file imported into iTunes as 9 seperate files, one for each track!

What steps did you take?
Usually you would be able to export song to iTunes via Share --> Send song to iTunes...
I never encountered any problems but maybe you are doing something different?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Low volume when importing from iTunes

The volume level is fine when previewing in iMovie06 Media/Audio. After clicking "place at playhead", the imported audio track has very low volume.
I tried other suggestions in this forum, including raising audio track level to 150%, and saving to CD and re-importing to iTunes as AIFF (which seemed to help a little), but still the volume level of the imported audio in iMovie is still way too low. This is originally a midi file my son created. It is not purchased or protected content. It imported into iTunes fine and sounds fine there. Had the same problem with a "jaws" audio clip downloaded free online. Fine in iTunes, barely audible after importing into iMovie.
Experimenting, I made a brand new movie and only imported the audio clip, and the volume level was fine. So, it has something to do with the movie I'm working on.
Help! I already blew a few hours on this issue and now am up against a deadline.

Hi
two ways
a) Use an audio-editor like Audacity (freeware) and increase Your .aiff files
b) You noticed that You can get the audio clip in to iMovie and amplify it to 150%
• Copy this audio-clip. Paste it ontop of the first one = 300% amplified audio
Do this as many times as You need it (until it gets audio distorsion)

Importing to iTunes folder doesn't seem to work.

I don't know if this is a vista/itunes bug, but here I go:
I have a music library of about 60 gigs or so. When I try and import the songs WITHOUT moving the songs to iTunes directory, it works like a charm. However, if I check the box to move the imported songs TO the itunes folder, I only get a fraction of the music in my library. I would like for iTunes to import everything to the itunes directory.
Can I do this: Manually copy the music to the iTunes folder and then somehow import the itunes folder? (does that even make sense?)
Thanks in advance

Which files? Music or Photos? Do any songs in iTunes have an exclamation mark next to them? Other files as well? Do you remember what error messages that you were getting? Those error codes could be helpful.

Importing to iTunes

I had to re-install windows XP on my system, which pretty much wiped out everything I had on my harddrive. I re-installed iTunes and have all my songs on my nano and just need them back on iTunes. I'm using Yami-Pod for this but not sure what folder to import them into so iTunes will see them. Can someone walk me through the right steps ? Thanks.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
How can can I see all the details

Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file. WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media. For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags. With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied. This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

How do I import my itunes library from an external hard drive to my MacBook

I've bought a new MacBook today, my itunes is on my external hard drive which is hooked up to my Mac, I want to import the itunes onto my Mac but don't know how. Anyone know?
Oh & I have no idea what operating system I have....

Can you please explain what you mean by the 'option' button. I've dragged my itunes library to my desktop.
Do not put it on the desktop. You should, in fact, avoid keeping files on the desktop because they use extra system resources there compared to being inside folders. I keep one folder on my desktop which I call "Desktop overflow) and anything I would want to put on the desktop I put in there.
The best place is to put the iTunes folder and all its contents in your home directory (the one indicated by a house icon on a Finder window sidebar), then inside the Music (or it may be called Media since you use a newer version) folder there. This is where you may find one already exists because it is one of the basic folders put on computers when installing the system, I believe (it was on my computer when I got it). If you find one is already there, then as I said before, as long as you don't have any media in it you can just replace it with the one you are copying. You may find once you do that, when you start itunes it starts up with your library already because this is where it expects things to be. If not, hold the option key (may also be called alt, on my keyboard it is between the control key and the command key ( or ⌘ key). Doing this while starting iTunes will have it ask you to point it to the library files, so you need to go to the Music/Media folder, then the iTunes folder, then select one of the library files inside.
Folder hierarchy is pretty much the same on a Mac as it is in Windows.

File/folder behaviour when importing in iTunes?

I've recently purchased an iPhone 3G. I've also got a substantial mp3 collection (121GB), all ordered in a Genre/Artist/Album subfolder structure. Every file has an ID3 tag properly filled out.
As you can tell I'm an organized person - at least when it comes to music.
I need to know, when I hit the "Import folder", what will happen in the hard drive: Will my folders be modified in any way by iTunes? Or will iTunes create a separate folder with the +same songs+ in it, but just a different order/filetype? Will the new files (or the old files) have some sort of modification done to them, like a format change or a different tag added?
I'd like it if iTunes could "read" my files, but I don't want them modified or doubled-up - that would just ruin all the work I've done and take too much space.
How does iTunes manage the original files and the new files once I import them?

Wow - this was a crucial find for me. I just converted to Win7 64bit with a fresh install of all programs including iTunes. When I went to import my library I checked the "Keep iTunes Media files Organized" not knowing exactly what the impact would be. I found out that it completely re-wrote the native folder and filenames in different scenarios (in windows explorer). Once a file was imported into iTunes it hated special character like hyphens or commas ultimately converting them to underscores. Itunes also combined some albums into a single album/folder like Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002 instead of keeping 2 seperate albums for each disc. Other scenarios I was experiencing was basically rewritten incomplete album names. With nearly 40,000 songs (485GB) on my hard drive (8000 songs on my ipod) it was extremely painful to see names being changed without rhyme or reason.
Simply unchecking both of those boxes got me back to my naming and filing conventions. Essentially back to good with no further conversion of special characters or file names.
Unfortunately now I am going back and re-correcting all of the folders and files that were changed under the "checked" settings. Much happier with the organization of the database now.
Thanks for sharing the note.

I just imported my Itunes Library to a new laptop from an External HD with Windows 8 but it does not load my playlists on my Iphone? Is this solveable? Would hait to re-build the playlists

My old laptop crashed but I had my Itunes Library backed up to an external HD. I've managed to import my Itunes Library from the HD but none of my old play lists appear on in Itunes. I tried syncing to my Iphone 4S that has the playlists to no avail. Ideas and solutions welcome

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
