Importing mp3's

I am trying to put a song in my library and when I try to nothing happens. I can play the song with Quicktime, but I can't seem to get it on my library. Could someone please help me?

Chances are the file has some sort of copy protection which prevents download to iTunes. Macs seem to have no problem handling copy-protected files. About the only option you have is to burn the file to an audio CD, if possible, use the audio CD to re-import into iTunes.

  • I get an error when trying to import MP3 files in iTunes?

    When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
    The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
    I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
    For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
    (I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
    Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
    Thanks in advance for any help !!!

    : how can I import mp3s from my gmail account into my iTunes application so that I can import audio for recording into GarageBand ?

    Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes.  How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

  • Imported mp3 file of 6 Mb  increased FLA by 47 Mb

    Imported an mp3 file of 6 Mb and the FLA file increased by 47
    Mb.
    Compressed and saved - no result. Removed mp3, compressed
    FLA, imported
    MP3 - same story. Is this supposed to be like that? If not ho
    do I sort this
    out?

    create a new empty fla (say soundAssets.fla) and add all the sounds to its library. in (advanced) properties, tick "export for actionscript" and "export in frame 1" and set class name.
    in publish settings, tick "export SWC" in "flash" tab and then publish swf. this will produce a soundAssets.swf and soundAssets.swc file - you just need the swc
    finally, in your main fla, goto actionscript settings and in "library path" tab, add the swc by clicking on the + sign and then the flash symbol (f).
    now you can reference the sounds by class as before but they are stored in another fla. each time you change the sounds in soundAssets.fla, you will need to republish the swc

  • Unable to Import Mp3

    I've tried many things.
    I've changed the Mp3 ID, I've tried many different mp3s. I've
    tried importing them into new documents as well as existing
    documents. I have even changed the bitrate. I have gone through 16
    to 128 but mp3s simply will not import. I have tried dragging mp3s
    onto the stage. It just will not work.
    WAVs will import, but sometimes they play at double the
    speed.
    One or two mp3s will import on a rare occasion.
    I used to be able to import mp3s before.
    I have not recently changed any hardware.
    The message is : "One or more files were not imported because
    there were problems reading them"

    Two possibilities:
    1. If the file name is longer than 31 characters, import will fail. Try shortening the name if this is the case.
    2. Sometimes Logic seems to have trouble converting the MP3 to AIFF successfully on import. When it does, I use a different program to convert first (Peak in my case, though iTunes would probably do the job too), then import the AIFF into Logic.

  • Can't import mp3

    can't import mp3 made in Sounbooth cs5 to Flash cs5 ? Help is needed ?

    Flash gives an error that "Couldn't import xyz.mp3" that's it.
    I posted this message in 2010 when I was having the same problem with CS4. But then it was working fine with CS5, but now the problem is back ?
    From 2010...
    I am using Flash and Soundbooth CS4, I have been working in XP and in Vista. Just moved to Win7 and now the same MP3s we have been using for years will not import to Flash. We have always used Sample Rate 48000 mono and Bitrate 48 Kbps mono. I downloading the trial version of Audition CS5 and with the same Sample Rate and Bitrate the files import fine. Another gentlemen that works with me verified the same issue on his Win7 machine. I bought the eLearning Suite that comes with Soundbooth, so I would not like to have to purchase Audition.
    Any other ideas on this are very much appreciated.

  • I can't import MP3 files - why?

    I'm new to iTunes, and am wondering why I can't permanently import MP3 files that are currently on a DVD into my iTunes library. (Right now, iTunes will only recognize the songs when the DVD is in the computer). Is there any way that I can permanently move them into my iTunes library, so that I can then download the songs to my iPod?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I'm sorry for all the questions, but when I previously tried to add the files from the DVD to iTunes library (using the File -> Add file (or Folder)command), it created new folders in my iTunes library for the files, but they were empty. So, when I tried to download everything from iTunes into my iPod, the iPod said that the songs "couldn't be found". That's why I was so upset --after spending two hours thinking that I was importing selected songs into my iTunes, I learned that I was really only creating empty folders for them...!

    1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
    2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
    3) Select Properties
    4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
    5) Click Change
    6) Select ITunes
    7) Select Always for this type checkbox
    8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
    9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
    10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

  • I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

    Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
    I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source?  It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes.  You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them.  Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
    Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in.  They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

  • Unable to import MP3s sometimes

    I have GB4 with the latest updates (I guess that makes it GB 4.1 then) and I've noticed that I can't import MP3s sometimes. I can't figure out why, other than to conclude that it's a bug.
    I can actually import any MP3 ok, be it from the filesystem or or from the browser within GB. It shows a progress bar, and also another saying "converting" I think, before adding the track. After it is imported, I can play it and such. I can also look inside of the bundle and see that there is a .aif version of the MP3 in the Media directory. So, it all sounds good so far.
    Well, the problem starts as soon as I Save the project. As soon as I do that, the corresponding .aif file is deleted from inside the media directory, in the project's bundle. However, if I keep working, the track continues to play fine. The problem only is noticeable if I close the project, or quit, and try to open it again. When I do that, sure enough, GB complains that it can't find the corresponding .AIF file, and prompts with a dialog asking if I want to "skip" or "search"
    Choosing either option of course, makes no difference. the end result is that the project opens, and there is a "file not found" label on the segment pertaining to that imported track. So, that in turn means when you try and play, that track won't be heard, as it has no file associated with it.
    The odd thing, is that some MP3 files do seem to import ok. Oh, and before you ask, they all are mp3's with the lowercase .mp3 extension. I can always tell if it does, because the progress bar is much shorter, and as far as I can tell, it's actually skipping the "conversion" step. How a good file is represented in the media folder is that you have the actual MP3 file added, along with another file with the same name, but with a .oww extension. I don't know what this file is for. However, if a file is imported in this manner, when I Save the project, sure enough, both the MP3 and the .oww file are not erased from the media directory. And of course, if I reopen the project, it is able to open that track successfully.
    So, I'm at a loss. I know that all imported files must be 44 Khz files, and as far as I can tell, both the ones that seem to work and fail, are 44 KHz files. I thinkt the one that did work correcly did have a higher bit rate than some others, at 160 Kib/s, but I doubt that the bit rate makes any difference.
    I haven't tried converting the ones that don't "stick" by converting to AIF manually and importing the AIF to see if it sticks, but I would guess it would. I think all hte AACs that I've tried importing always work, so as far as I know so far, it's only a problem with MP3 files.
    Another thing worth noting, I'm using a network level account, that isn't an admin account. Also, my home directory resides on an NFS share, that's mounted at boot time, but a network share shouldn't matter. But I was thinking that maybe there's a bug that may be exacerbated when using this feature as a non-admin account.
    So, GB devs/Apple support, if you're reading this, I urge you to test your products with non-admin users and network accounts, such as mine. I have been using OSX in this configuration since 10.0, and over the years I have seen software that has made some bad assumptions of applications location, home directory location, HFS filesystem, etc. So, I urge you to test your software with these configurations as well, as people like me do have these setups, however rare they may be.

    One thing I forgot to add. When importing an MP3 that won't work, I do see lines logged in console.log that say "Unsupported MP3 file" So, apparently that means that some MP3 files are unsupported, but really if that were the case, why would it even allow me to import it in the first place? If it were really unsupported, shouldn't it produce a dialog saying such, and cancel the import process? As it is, it's far worse, since it's importing it, so you think it's compatible. Then next time you open the project you realize it silently deleted that import.

  • Flash CS5 will not import mp3 files

    With the latest Flash program and the latest Quicktime version, I still can not import mp3 files to my Flash.
    No reason is given, it only tells me it can't be done.

    that's usually an mp3 setting problem.  open your mp3 in audio editing software and resave.

  • GarageBand 11 - my track won't let me select, as I did with GB '08. Also unable to change tempo and pitch of imported MP3 songs.

    I have a Mac desk top. I think my operating system is IOSx 6. Snow leopard.  II used to have GarageBand 08 and was able to select my imported MP3 audio, as well as change the tempo and pitch of a song. GarageBand 11 is not allowing me to do any of that. I am at my wits and end and thinking about buying an expensive editing program since I have spent hours researching, to no avail.  I used to use the AU pitch option in '08 version but I can't even see options to edit MASTER TRACK, in order to select AU PITCH from the drop down menu.
