Importing iTunes music to other programs

Ok so i love making videos. I use Corel VideoStudio Pro X3. I ussually use music from my iTunes library for my videos. I could easily import iTunes music right into Corel's library. Well I was well on my way to finishing a video when a couple of days ago, all of a sudden, Corel wouldn't play iTunes music. And when i try to reimport music from iTunes, it gives me the file format mismatch message. I think it started happening after I got the latest iTunes update. Itunes 9? i think. I would really like to know why all of a sudden I can't use iTunes music for videos.
Thank you for your time.

Does iTunes still play everything correctly? If so, then it's most likely an issue with the Corel software that you'll need to take up with them. Note that VideoStudio doesn't, according to Corel's web site, accept AAC files, so make sure the files you're trying to use are MP3 or WAV.
Regards.

"importing itunes music library.xml" pops up every time I launch iTunes

My MacBook Pro crashed this morning, requiring a "safe mode" restart. Anyway, on relaunch, everything seems to be working okay now. EXCEPT -- now whenever I first launch iTunes (after rebooting the computer), I get the popup progress box "importing itunes music library.xml" which is followed by a message about the iTunes library being moved to a "iTunes Library (damaged)" message when complete.
I guess my iTunes library has gotten corrupted somehow.
I've searched for this error message and found numerous posts, but all seem to be in reference to moving the iTunes music library from one computer to another.
Can someone assist me in how to correct this problem? I don't want to try resyncing my iPod without fixin this first...

same prob here, but mine goes one step farther (read: worse). i reported in the form from previous post, but no response yet.
in addition to displaying the "importing..." message, the system ultimately indicated that the file was damaged and saved a version as such. Over half my music is not shown in the new file, and thus not in itunes (though the music files are still there.
has anyone figured this out? would hate to have to individually add everytihg back.

FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "Warp Factor" could not be used because the original file could not be located."

FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "XXXXX" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
I saw the reply that iTunes was probably moved. I restored it from Time Machine when my hard drive crashed. How do I fix it to import into FCP X?

I figured it out by going into iTunes and clicking on the Library link under File. This bring up a box that allows the music files to be reconnected to the iTunes music folder.
FCP X now sees the music and it can be placed into the project timeline.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?

Hello there, Underwriter.
The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Particularly of note for your situation:
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

Can't use music in other programs

Over the past few years I have ripped all of my CD's into itunes and puchased many songs from the itunes store. I want to use these songs in home movies, picture slideshows etc. The only way I can use this music is to burn the song on a cd and rip from the cd into windows media player. There must be an easier and less wastefull way. I hope you know one. Thanks.

With purchased songs, there is no other way to do it. Purchased songs from iTUnes are in the "Protected AAC" format which currently, only itunes can play on windows.
Theres also very few programs that support the non protected AAC format in windows atleast. If you plan on using songs from iTUnes in other programs, Id reccommend putting them all in MP3 format as its the most widly supported format on any PC program as well as electronic devices like radios, Portable players ect ect.
In iTunes goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and change iTUnes default setting from "AAC" to "MP3". Now when you use iTUnes to Import a CD, or to "Re" Import a burned CD, it will be in MP3 format which other programs can handle

Itunes mucks up other programs

I have been using Itunes (new version) on Windows 7
I was importing a CD on Itunes...I tried to open a file but then all of the icons of my other programs suddendly turned into the Itunes symbol and underneath the icon with the name of the program ended with 'ink' so nothing worked...I had to uninstall Itunes to get everything back to normal. I re installed it again and the everything turned into the Itunes icon with 'ink' at the end again. So I can't use Itunes anymore. How can I re install Itunes without this happening? I need it

Hi I gave the video reference as that explains how to do the DMA thing.
It's a bit of a long shot, but there is a lot of extra disk activity at the time of track change over.
I haven't heard of Norton AV causing a problem and I have Norton 2007 which doesn't cause this problem for me. If you fancy trying anyway, try putting iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml into the exlcusions from virus checking.
Another possibility is to see if forcing iTunes to recalulate gapless playback helps.
With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml out of your iTunes folder to the desk top.
Restart iTunes and you will have an empty library. Try adding your iTunes Music folder with File>>Add folder to Library and see if the problem changes after galess playback calulations are complete. (You could just add a few tracks if you want the gapless calculations to complete quickly)
If no good, you can just delete the new iTunes Library.itl from the iTunes folder and copy the old one back from the desktop, you don't have to copy the xml file, that is recreated automatically. (With iTunes closed).

Getting Error Message when importing iTunes Music to iMovie 6?

Am I missing something? I used to be able to import my iTunes music to a movie creation in iMovie 6. I'm now getting an error message "Error during import. The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
I have moved my music to an external drive - don't know if that made a difference.
Thanks

Interesting...I have moved my iTunes music onto the external drive probably six months ago. That music still works off the external via iTunes. I just looked in iTunes and my preferences are showing my local drive to store music. And recent music that I have purchased (last few months) is showing in the local drive. When I picked one of the songs from the local it works.
So now I guess the question is what will happen if I move the music from the local to the external and reset the preferences in iTunes. It should work right?

Importing itunes music to PC video

I made a video of photos using DVD Maker on my PC. I now want to add music and all my music is stored under itunes because I have an ipad and iphone. I cannot import music from itunes to the PC DVD Maker....how can I make this happen? Thanks

Gayle,
DVD Maker needs the music in MP3 format.
If you have iTunes music in some other format, you can use iTunes to create an MP3 version per this guide:

Importing iTunes Music After Carbonite Restore

Trying to free up some space, I did a clean install a few weeks ago after backing up almost my entire HD, including the 41,000+ songs I had in iTunes. Today, after two solid weeks of running my MacBook 24/7, I finished restoring all of my music, which is when I finally realized I hadn't bothered to read Carbonite's instructions as thoroughly as I probably should have.
Basically, I went ahead and re-installed iTunes BEFORE I finished the restore, so that when I open it up, only my cloud music is visible in my library, which is where the fun begins...
My music is indeed on my laptop, living comfortably in it's original iTunes>Music folder, under User Eric, on The Spicy Meatball (the name I gave my HD because I once thought it was "cute" or something). When I open up iTunes from the Meatball (or from the more recently installed iTunes), same thing...no music except for the cloud stuff. Confusingly, while my MacBook SAYS my music is in my iTunes library, iTunes says it isn't whenever I open the app.
I initially just shrugged my shoulders and began importing all 41,000+ songs into my library, but when I got to around 3,700 or so, I noticed I was really only duplicating everything, and would run out of disk space long before it finished importing. In essence, I may have just screwed myself by either not seeing their directions, or buying their product in the first place, and have wasted $70.
I'm not even sure what I'm asking, aside from whether or not there's a work-around here I'm not seeing that would allow me to get my iTunes library back to it's pristine, OCD-level state.
Thanks. :-)

BUMMER!
The info displayed by iTunes comes from the ID3 tag which is part of the file sitself. If the ID3 tags are intact then you should see the artist/song/ etc when you add the song fille back to iTunes. Do a drop n drag of a couple of files to the iTunes window and see what happens. Once the tune is back in iTunes then go look for a script from Doug Adams site and that will rename the song files based on ID3 information. No sense doing individyually as there is script that will do it for you. As for the files that play for 20 seconds ..... well they might be scrambled beyond repair. I always do B/U of my tunes as I have a huge amount of *** time invested in managing them.
Hope this helps a little.

Importing itunes music videos

I would like to import my itunes purchased music videos to a folder seperate from itunes music, similar to the fashion that itunes movies are imported.

There isn't a way to set up iTunes to use more than one folder, so you can not have it set up to automatically put music in one place while putting videos into another.
However you can do it manually, but it is a bit of a pain in the arse. Basically you would have to go to your iTunes preferences, change the location of the iTunes Music folder over to your video folder. Exit out of preference. Now add your video files and iTunes will copy them into your video folder. Then go back into preferences and change the iTunes Music folder to the original location for your music.
iTunes will continue to access the videos from the other folder. The preference change only tells iTunes where to put all FUTURE added files to the library. It does not change where any of the current files are accessed from. So you can use this to switch locations before adding new stuff. But you have to remember to change it back before you add any more music and it is all manual.
Regards,
Patrick
