Increasing bit rate of songs on Synching with iPhone?

The standard bit rate of 128 kbps doesn't seem high enough for some types of music and the quality can be poor. I used to have full aiff files on my phone but could obviously only get a handful of albums on, the quality was superb but overkill. Is there a way of synching with a better bit rate, say 200 kbps?

Hello.
I found music sites like Beatport, Audiojelly and so on, which offer 320 kbps as the standard encoding bitrate for all of their music.
Buy from them. They specialize in exactly what you are doing - "electronic and trance music" - which iTunes does not.
A couple of more stores in the same vein are JunoDownload and DJDownload.com. You have plenty of choices.

    At the moment i can only fit about 1300 songs on my iphone and also have used up half the space on my 120gb Classic with 7000 songs which is a lot less than what i was told would fit on. so............
    How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to fit more songs onto my iPhone or iPod Classic.. and what is the minimum rate that i should stick to in order to retain good sound quality.

    For existing tracks, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    For CDs you import in the future, change the Import settings in the iTunes -> General preferences.
    As to what will be a good bit rate, that's going to be up to you and what quality you find acceptable, but many people find that 128 kbps AAC is the optimum balance between small file size and quality.

  • Is it possible to raise the bit rate of songs higher than 256 on iTunes? If not what should i use or do to raise the bit rate of songs?

    Songs you rip from CD can have their bitrate increased to a maximum of 320Kbps from the iTunes preferences; alternatively, the default encoder can be changed to a lossless one. Songs from other sources have a fixed maximum bitrate.

  • Managing two bit-rates per song

    Is there an easy way to manage two bit-rates per song? I wish iTunes would do this itself, under the covers. Similar to versions in Aperture. What I want is to keep an Apple Lossless version for Apple TV, but have a low bit-rate version for my iPhone and iPod (due to space limitations). I know I can store two versions of the same song but they are treated as two songs, so if I change a rating or a keyword it happens only to the one song. Or I have to manage two versions of the same playlist. Etc.

    The short answer is no, theres no good way to do what you want. This has been a shortcoming of iTunes for years. Those of us interested in having a lossless library were forced to use lossless on out mobile devices, which doesn't make sense at all, or to maintain two parallel libraries.
    What you guys really want is called on the fly transcoding. The idea is you store a high quality version (ideally lossless) of the track on your computer and that when this track is to be synced to a device it is transcoded to a more efficient format.
    This is something that most media players have been doing for years, and yet Apple shows no interest in implementing such a feature.

  • New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S.  This a new problem.  No problem in the past

    Purchased new apps on ipad.  Purchases did not synch with iphone 4.  Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s.  this is a new problem.  I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

    It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

  • Hello,  Is there a way to import books from the sony reader library to the itunes library, for synching with iphone?

    Hello,
    I would like to transfer books from my Sony reader library to iTunes, in order to synch with iPhone.
    I get the message that it's in the wrong format, & can't be viewed.
    How do you change the format?
    Regards,

    I understand now, it can't be done.

  • Need comparable contact managament to Act by Sage that will synch with iphone

    I am having trouble finding a contact management solution similar to Act (which, obnoxiously, does not synch with iphone). Most I am finding are too bloated and complex (ex. Salesforce). I need it to synch with my iphone and Entourage on my MacBook Pro. I am in sales, with an awful memory. I just need somthing to log all interactions with contacts. I do not need to run sales reports, handle campaigns, workflows, etc. Thanks!

    Here are just a few suggestions others and by no means is exhaustive, I am sure others will weigh in.
    -Just a cursory read of the support forum I have not seen overwhelming complaints that iPhone does not work with windows. It seems mac and windows work equally well with the iPhone
    -Ringtones if you like ringtones and could see your self loading your iPhone up go with the mac. Garage Band gives you the ability to make ring tones from your own music collection for free. There are down loads like iToner etc that are unofficial ring tone makers so it makes it a little more difficult to you use.
    -As long as memory of your devices exceeds 16 GB (which is as high as the iPhone goes) you will be able to take full advantage of your iPhone. Anything more will not make a difference.
    -There is no heavy processing involved with your iPhone syncing to your desktop/laptop. What we are taking about is down loading contact lists music etc. No real graphics rendering is taking place. The iPhone is a seperate system you desktop/laptop to manage your iPhone for preferences downloads etc. So processing speeds do not matter that much.
    -iPhone apps work with any iPhone regardless of what OS it is synced to. Even if you would like to use Mobile Me it can utilize some windows programs.
    What I would do is figure out which or your personal computers you use most. Then I would set up a Mobile Me account then I would add all other computers you might use to sync with your Mobile Me account and this would solve all of your problems, for 99 bucks/year that is.

  • Increasing bit rates to maximize available disc space.

    I am loading up HD footage to burn to a dual layer SD DVD.
    I have an 82 minute feature film that I burned and used about 5 gigs of space on the dual layer DVD.
    Here's the issue: If I have an 8 gig dual layer disk and only use 5 gigs, I am leaving 3 gigs idle which I would like to use to get the most quality possible. The problem is that I get capped at bit rates of about 7.1 mbps average and 10 mbps maximum (this limits me to only using 5 gigs). If I can increase the bit rate, I can use the idle disk space and, more importantly, get better picture quality. The problem is that I don't know how to get beyond the mbps cap limits. Is there a way?
    I hate to leave the gig space idle. It feels like I am walking away and leaving money on the table.
    Thanks
    Jim

    David, the cost of the DVD is not what is driving this (DVDs are very cheap), rather the desire to get the best picture quality as possible for my movie is driving this. By using the remaining 3 gigs of space, I can put more information on the DVD, compress less, and get better picture quality.
    You ask "have you tried to play this 10mb file of yours? Can't be done on 99% of DVD players." I did burn it and play it on my DVD player and it worked just fine. I just want to see if I can't get a better picture quality by using the idle 3 gigs.
    As far as a blu ray system - yes I do want one. Finding one that is compatible with a mac system, burns reliably, and produces blu rays that will actually work on most blu ray players probably won't happen for a couple of years at least. Not to mention the fact that blank blu ray disks costs about $20 each, so I will be adding $20 to each festival entry fee for my movie by using blu ray and that assumes they all burn perfectly with no waste involved.
    If I can't increase the mbps rate, then I suppose I am stuck with what I have. I just want to know if it can be done better.

  • What bit rate to record for editing with iMovie?

    I just bought a Sony hd pj260 video cam and need to know what to set the bit rate for shooting to edit on a MacBook pro using iMovie (snow leopard). I have a choice of 60p (28 M), 60i (24 M) or 60i (17M). I'm sure these will mean something to someone. They currently are Greek to me. Can someone advise me please. Leaving for vacation in a couple of days....
    Thanks
    DJ

    60P wlll not work with iMovie, unless you are comfortable hacking the internals of iMovie.
    60i will work and the higher bit rate, the better.
    Best would be 30P.

  • ITunes incomplete synch with iPhone music

    Hi all,
    Hope you can help with this one.
    I have a smart playlist on my iPhone 4GS with songs  that I must rate. Whenever I sync the iPhone with iTunes (11.0.1(12)) some songs get the rating synced but most part don't. However, on the iPhone they are all rated and the playlist is empty. I manage the iTunes library manually.
    Can you please help?
    Many thanks,

  • ITunes is not consistent while syncing songs and tones with iPhone 6

    Hi
    I had iPhone 4 but 2 years ago, I had severe problems while syncing songs to my iPhone. The iTunes would miss some songs while syncing. In next sync, some songs were added but some other ones went missing. I was very frustrated with the dependency of iPhone on iTunes. Since last 2 years I was on windows/android and decided to go back to iPhone (6) hoping that things would have been better in these last 2 years... however, had a lot of disappointment.
    1. Note that I have a new laptop (Windows 8) with fresh install of iTunes. There was always problems while installing iTunes as I had to install in "adminstrator mode".  After installing, whenever I run itunes as "administrator" it lets me tweak the preferences of itunes easily, but does not allow me to add any mp3 songs to a playlist. I have to then shut down the itunes and run it normally: it allows me to add mp3s to playlist.....
    2. I have a work laptop which I use to sync work related device (iPhone 6 mentioned is never synced with this work PC) and have a different iTunes login. With this work PC, I never had problems with iTunes install or syncing to iDevice
    3. While syncing my home PC to iPhone 6, I can always see iTunes tries to transfer some songs which I know were already there on iPhone a few minutes ago. It is also "moody": it will sometimes say that "xyz" ringtone cannot be synced as it was not found!
    4. The iTunes frequently hangs while trying to sync (on step 1 of  5 of sync)
    5. I got so frustrated I had to delete all songs, from iPhone (took a while!), completely uninstall iTunes, remove iTunes library from "C:\users\"username\Music" folder, reinstalled iTunes, painstakingly created the whole library, synced. This time it was a success
    6. Apparently, 2 years ago with my iPhone 4, the same problems used to occur (I had another itunes account and different PC then).
    My past is haunting me again! Please help. I am so afraid to do another iTunes-iPhone 6 sync as I fear selective loss of songs...... Please help! I have already spent 5 hours (out of 48 hours that I had been associated with iPhone 6 since its release on 19 Sep), on problem solving, reading articles and am so frustrated with iTunes sync issue that I am ready to sell this phone although very nicely made by Apple. On Android, I simply add songs to SD card and use a player called Folder Player that makes a playlist of folders with music in it. There are so many "behavioral" problems that I have come across on different forums and wonder why Apple cannot fix them?

    Hi Pamela85
    Can't say much about Mac, however I discovered an issue in Windows PC that my profile did not have full access to C: drive (admin rights). Consequently, iTunes had difficulty with getting into the right mode where it could make changes. I have created a partition (D Drive), have installed iTunes there. Doing some experiements; will revert back in due course of time after doing some rounds of sync....

  • Synch with iPhone

    How can I synch my iphone with Lightroom rather than iphoto

    Ian is of course right about import from iPhone > LR.  To sync from LR to iPhone without using iPhoto: create a Publish service to a folder on your HD, and in iTunes select that folder for sync to your phone. Several good tutorials on the web for that approach.  Try Terry White's podcast here
