Importing Lala downloads into iTunes

Can someone explain the best workflow to download from lala and import the songs into iTunes. I'm not clear exactly how to do this.

A little digging under download folder came up with this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347
So with Safari set to send downloads to the download folder (which is the default) I just open iTunes,
click on File: Add to Library, navigate to the download folder in the small finder window, then highlight the downloads and select Music:itunes folder for destination and done.

Importing previously downloaded into iTunes U Category

I've recently reinstalled iTunes on my system, and have some files that were downloaded from iTunes U before the reinstall. When I try to import them they show up in the podcast category. Is it possible to import them into the iTunes U category? I've tried to copy them into the iTunes U folder but when I go to the category I see a whole bunch of lovely "GET" buttons. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hate to bump, but hasn't anyone else had this question?

How can I import mpeg files downloaded into itunes?

How can I import mpeg song files downloaded into itunes?

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

When trying to import a cd into iTunes

When I import a CD into iTunes,
after a few songs, the download freezes and my computer no longer recognises my drive d.
The D drive (DVD/CD rom) seems to have disappeared.
Since the computer does not know that I have a D drive, the DVD/CD rom will not work.

Ok, obviously no one has a definite answer for this, but I found several different suggestions on the net. I tried all of them, and none of them have worked for me. So I still cannot import CDs with iTunes. Instead, I am now importing CD's with Windows Media Player, which works just fine, then adding all of them seperately to iTunes so I can have the music on my iPod. it takes less time to transfer this way, than to force quit multiple ties over several hours to maybe get one CD imported.
In case the suggestions of others work for you, I did a google search on "iTunes freezes when importing CDs"- it brought up a lot of pages, with a lot more complaints than answers , but the easiest "fix" was to turn off error correction in your prefences. Since I never had error correction turned on, that didn't help me. The other most cited "fix" was the following link on Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 . Though I never get an error message (iTunes just freezes), I tried it anyway. Still no success.
I hope this helps some!

I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and itunes 11.0.1. Itunes won't sync when I try to sync several cds I've downloaded into itunes. If I try to sync the same cds one at a time, it works. What's happening? What's the fix?

I have a sync problem when trying to sync multiple cd's I've downloaded into itunes, at the same time. I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and use itunes 11.0.1. If I delete the songs from itunes, reload the same discs one at a time, and sync after each individual cd, all goes well. What's going on and what's the fix?

Thanks for your help Jim
I found some info in other threads and read that some people had re-downloaded, re-installed and were now working OK. Unfortunately some others went through that pain and still had the issue.
I found a reference to deleting the file 'iTunes Library.itl' and copying back the previous version of that file.
I tried this and when I fired up iTunes I noticed there was a window pop up saying iTunes was updating the database to version 11. I then re-imported the CD and now the songs are there in iTunes, the artwork is there and song titles etc. The songs play and everything appears normal again.
It would appear that my issue was the database was not correctly upgraded correctly durting the original upgrade, this theory is to some extent supported by the fact some people have had success re-installing version 11. This also suggests the upgrade process may be a little flaky.
Anyway thank you to the person suggesting downgrading the 'iTunes Library.itl' file, sorry I did not take a note of your name.

Unable to import CD's into Itunes

I am unable to import CD's into Itunes. It won't rip into media player either. It recognizes the CD and starts to download and states it's imported but the information is unavailable. I have run diagnostics and re-installed Itunes. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Importing protected DVD into iTunes

Hello All
At the very outset - let me admit I love Shaun T's workouts and I always will legitimately pay for those than have them downloaded via other "unfit" means :-)
So the issue am seeking help on is this - I have bought the DVDs for couple of BeachBody Shaun T workouts (Insanity & Focus T 25). Now I use a MacBook pro which does not have an optical drive and every time I want to do the workout means I have to chug along the super drive, and it feels very primitive in today's time and age. Now these DVDs are protected and there is no way I can import them into iTunes and then get them onto my iDevices, so I can break a sweat even if I am in a tiny hotel room on my tiny iPhone 6 Plus screen (Yes - it is tiny when you are trying to follow those moves on a screen that size while half dead in motion!)
Is there anyway to do this i.e. import those DVDs into iTunes and then consume them like you would with any other iTunes media?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions
P.S: Cannot fathom why Beach Body doesn't sell their workouts on iTunes!

Depending on where you are it may be legal for you to backup your purchases. Check your local laws.

Just make sure you keep the original discs otherwise it becomes piracy.

I am importing a cd into itunes and it is creating 4 different albums. How can I get it all in one album?

I am importing a CD into itunes and it is creating 5 different albums.
1 album for most of the songs and 4 other albums for single songs from
the CD. How can I get itunes software to put all the songs into 1 album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Error message when trying to import a CD into iTunes

I get an error message when I try to import a CD into iTunes that says the disk cannot be found. I recently requested to uninstall Tune-up because I kept receiving annoying messages to purchase the software. It looks like Tune-up is deactivated, but now I can't import music. Any suggestions?

Without much to go on I think your drive is having problems. It may be something minor such as dust which could possibly be removed using a drive cleaning disc (computer supply store or CD store), or it could be an irregular error in a laser, or tracking, or loose cable, or...
One way to eliminate any iTunes possibility is if it is consistently doing this with a particular CD then try an alternative ripping tool such as XLD or Max.

Since the 10.2 iTunes update I have been completely unable to import from CD's into iTunes. An error message appears.

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

TS1387 I am importing CD's into iTunes. There were 3 different selection for the CD I put in and I accidently selected the wrong one, Now how do I change it? It seems to only recognize it as the wrong CD now.

I am importing CD's into iTunes. The CD that I put in had the option of 3 different CD's and I accidentally chose the wrong CD name. Is there a way to change it? It now seems to only recognize that CD as the wrong one.

Trevor,
When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes.

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes. The hard disk was replaced recently in order to gain extra memory. Is there some sort of limit set up from the original hard drive causing this problem?

Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

Why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing in the cloud?

why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing

If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.
