Importing CD to desktop via iTunes for mp3?

Is there a simple way to import CD's on a Mac to say a desktop folder, that converts them all to 192K mp3?
I'm assuming this would involve doing this through iTunes?
Or is there a simple way on OS X to import direct to mp3 to a folder?
Thanks

The error message is generic, so I can't give specifics
I don't belive it says "Generic error".
Just write exactly what the error message says.

Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows

Help, I can't import my CD songs to itunes for Windows.
My computer crashed. All my songs on CDs were titled by numbers "01", "02" etc. So I have many songs on various CDs titled "01" for example.
When I've tried to import various CDs, it seems like the different songs having the same names are confusing itunes, and my song tracks are getting mixed and muddled.
What can I do? Thanks for any help.

Because the wmv format is not supported by iTunes.

Itunes for mp3

hi i have 2 questions!
i have some mp3 without title and artist, itunes have an option to find and write automatic the idtag into?
i have already some mp3 with butrate 320kb and i will converte into 128kb, is possible? (like musicmatch)
thanks and sorry for my bad english!

1) iTunes cannot locate this info. iTunes will only find this if you have the original CD and import the songs from there.
2) Yes, you can.
In iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the advanced tab. Click the importing tab under that. Make sure import using is set to MP3 Encoder. For the setting, set it to whatever bit rate you want. Click OK.
Right click a song that you want to convert and go to convert selection to MP3. iTunes will convert it to the settings you previously set.
You will have to remove the original song from iTunes.
Your english is fine!

Adjust volume via iTunes for multiple speakers

I upgraded my iTunes to 6.02 and finally it is possible to select multiple AE and my PC at the same time to stream music to them.
It works almost perfect for me! Just one thing bugs me:
I can't adjust the volume on my AE via Airtunes if I selected my computer and my AE. When I try to adjust my volume in iTunes, the volume on my computer changes but the volume on my AE doesn't.
If I select just one of them, either works perfectly but not togeter.
My settings are right (preferences > advanced > disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers = OFF).
The funny thing is that on a Mac it works perfectly but on my Win XP Pro not!
Is this a common problem for Win XP and is there a solution for this?
Windows XP Pro

I have the same issue, but don't blame Apple. Just getting multiple AE's to work is so cool I'm still in heaven.
I don't see how Apple could engineer the ability to stream different volume levels to different AE's.

Cannot import videos mp4/m4v in iTunes for Windows 7.

I've been trying for days to import a few mp4 and m4v videos to my iTunes on a pc running Windows 7.
I have the latest iTunes and the latest Quicktime installed. When I try to import theses videos, I get nothing and they do not appear in my library.
I tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalling them. I've searched the forums, and couldn't find anything similar to this.
I played the same videos on 2 other computers (On my MB Pro running OSX Lion and on a friends computer running Windows Vista) both running the latest iTunes and Quicktime and all the videos imported and played flawlessly.
I'm out of ideas here...Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Also, when I try to play theses videos through Quicktime, I get an error -50 (Unknown error). But not on the other machines.

The first thing I would try is Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist. I've also seen reports of people compaining that the Music section of iTunes doesn't list all their content. For some reason adding a new track such as the current iTunes Single of the Week is proposed, and even confirmed, as a solution, though to be honest I can't see why it would make any difference.
If you make a smart playlist that should match your recent addition does it show up in that?

Updating to iOS 8 via iTunes for multiple iPads

Can I update multiple iPads to iOS 8 with one software download?
All iPads are currently using the latest iteration of iOS 7.
Thank you.

Are all the iPads you mention the same model, including cellular vs. Wi-Fi only? If so, then yes you can update all of them with the same download.
However, if they are different models, then you'll have to download the update file for each different model number.

Why remove sync to iTunes for calendar and contacts?

Why in the world would Apple remove the capability to sync your iphone's calendar, contacts and notes to your desktop via iTunes in Mavericks? I can see no benefit whatsoever. Do you really believe everyone wants to use iCloud? I don't care how strong your firewalls are and how well you encrypt data ... a dedicated and motivated hacker can get into your systems and Apple is a huge target.
I was just fine with syncing my calendar and contacts locally on my computer (not a huge target).
Please reinstate this very useful and convenient capability.

Do I really have to justify why the feature is useful? Just because you need updates every second and don't mind putting all the personal contact information for your friends and family on a server accessable to the internet and a world of hackers that would love to compromise a big target like iCloud doesn't mean everyone should have to. There are valid reasons to keep your information private and there was a perfectly useful option to make that easy. There is a huge list of top tech companies that have been breached by determined and motivated hackers (read Sony, Microsoft, and even developer.apple.com). It makes no sense to me to remove a useful tool and force everyone to entrust their personal information to a third party (any third party). Options are good. Choice lets everyone satisfy their needs.

Set up itunes for windows

My nephew, 12 years old, got an ipod touch as a gift from parents.
They asked me to set up itunes on his pc notebook (I guess with windows vista installed) since they think I am the apple-guy in the family.
Everything works fine, aside that: I can't see photos and videos (already present on his pc) in itunes: the corresponding folders in itunes are empty.
Having always used itunes for mac I never had this issue, since both photos and videos were already available in itunes since the beginning.
My question: how to import photos and videos in itunes for windows?

Photos - put Photos you want them sync over to your Device in a folder.
Connect your iPod touch to your PC, select iTouch under "Devices" on iTunes left Pane, on right Pane select Photo tab. Check the box "Sync Photo with" and click the box next to it to direct it to the folder where the Photos are. Click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.
Videos - iTunes supports only mov, m4v, mp4 formats, You can either drag these video files to itunes library or go to menu Add Folder to library... The Videos will appear under Movies library.
To sync - same as Photo but this time go to Movies tab

How to setup iTunes for a classroom

HI Forum...
I am an elementary school music teacher and am looking for an easy way to setup a lab of cast off computers and new ones combined. My intended use for this lab is to run listening stations via iTunes for kids to listen to songs on and answer questions and in the future use a program like Finale Note Pad which helps them write music. I have been going to each computer with a flash drive, deleting old songs, and loading the songs. I would like to do the following...
--load songs remotely, or have each computer access a different list of songs
--prevent the student computers from modifying info on the songs
--limit the access to other applications using parental controls (I have this one done, but it may interfere with some ideas)
These computers are all on the school's network and I would like to run them in Simple Finder and they can't have access to any other music but the music they need for the assignment. The kids using these will be as young as 2nd and 3rd graders and up to middle school so the appropriateness of the music and computer skills are a factor. What I have for the middle schoolers is not ok for the 8 year olds. I can either put on and take off songs (preferably by remote) or use different logins.
SO, here is the interesting part:
I am using 6 student computers
4G4 macs running 10.5.8
      G4 Digital Audio running 10.5.8 1GB ram
      G4 Gigabit running 10.5.8 1 GB
      G4 933 MHz running 10.5.8 1GB
      G4 mirrored drive door running 10.5.8 1.5GB
1 Mac mini running Yosemite
1 I mac running 10.5.8
and the computer that has all the music files is my teacher computer, 2009 MacBook running Yosemite
there is also an iPad2 that the students are using
any way I can make this easy and remote? Am I going to run into problems with the max number of machines that can play the music?
thank you
joey

Create a master playlist on the teacher's computer and share it via regular library sharing over the network. It will appear on each student's iTunes as a shared library. Students cannot modify it.

What encoder MP3 uses iTunes for import CD?

I have a PC with Windows XP SP2 c Windows Media Player 9 with a installed Intervideo XPack (MP3 encoder and DVD codec). My WMP uses to import CD encoder from Intervideo.
*My question is: what encoder uses iTunes? Own or from Windows?*
P.S. Sorry for my english, i'm russian.

I understand iTunes uses its own MP3 encoder and it has performed badly in listening tests.

If you want to use MP3 it is probably better to rip your CDs with another program even if you use iTunes for listening.
This doesn't apply to AAC.

Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

Hi,
Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

No Song Info for mp3 files that haven't been imported by iTunes??

Since iTunes won't automatically recognize an mp3 CD, I just drag and drop into my iTunes library. However, when I try to use the get track info for the mp3s I dragged in, I get a message saying; "iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes. To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes." Is there any way to get iTunes to automatically import an mp3 CD as it would automatically import an audio CD? I can't think of any other way to get around this problem.

Strange digital artifacts at the end of each song importing via iTunes

I've tried a few variations on archive searches and wasn't able to find an answer to this: In ripping some of my CD's into iTunes (either Apple Lossless or WAV) I've been getting some very odd, brief digital artifacts at the end of each songs on a CD. This sounds like two or three seconds of an audio tape on fast forward. It only seems to happen on new releases (I cannot think of any older CD's it's occurred on). I just got a copy of Mary Gauthier's new album (great CD by the way) and it happened on that one, for example. I tried ripping it multiple times in Apple Lossless, and WAV (always in iTunes) and each and every time it created files where this strange artifact existed at the end of every song. I play the CD I ripped the files from and the artifact is not there. I have several CD's, most of them recent releases over the past five years, that do the exact same thing. Otherwise everything else functions perfectly an the bulk of my 700+ CD library has imported without a hiccup. Is this some kind of anti-piracy technology...or do I simply have some setting off in my itunes preferences (Error-Correction is on, WAV or Apple Lossless is always set to Automatic, have experimented with importing to startup disk and external disk-same results). The artifacts seem to always sound the same too...they never vary, except that they sound different from song-to-song, but the same if say, the first cut is played over again. They are always 2 seconds plus or minus, and always at the end of a cut (the final 2 seconds or so). They do transfer verbatim to my iPod, and also play via iTunes through my stereo.
Anyone have any clues what this might be?

As a follow up, I went to the Genius Bar for a bowl of Mensa Stew, but only got some tepid broth. Here's what transpired:
The girl I was speaking with suggested that the artifact was the software misinterpreting information between the cuts. It was only a theory. She had not heard of any other incidents to relay. First she suggested I rip as MP3's. I explained that wasn't an option for me. She listened to a few cuts on a CD I'd brought with, or rather the ends of the cuts and confirmed there was a problem with the rip. She went through my settings, and asked if I'd tried it with Error Correction turned off. I explained I hadn't and that I preferred to use it. She suggested attempting to rip one of the cuts with it turned off just to see how it did. We did that and no artifact was there. So her 'solution' was to either leave error-correction turned off always, or turn it off for those problem CD's that produce the artifact (I'd estimate about 5% do on my laptop). This did not explain why it was doing it, nor why my g5 tower, which is running a carbon-copied system with all the same iTunes settings, does not produce the artifact with Error-Correction turned on.
I'd be interested to hear of anyone else who's been having problems importing hi-rez files in iTunes. I know of at least one other instance where the artifact produced (on a MacBook) is dis-similar to mine in that it takes the form of brief electronic beeps moving from channel to channel.
Anyone else?
