Install again itunes will affect my mp3 files register?

I have to proceed to a new installation of ITunes, will I have to import again in Itunes all mp3 files from different folders I have on my computer?
Will I have to write again all titles and autors for my personal mp3 files i had from limewire?

Someone told me that album art is actually added in to the music file itself. I'm not so sure about this, though, because if I go to \My Music\iTunes I have a folder called Album Art.
It might be just a glitch with the file, though, because I've had iTunes retrieve album artwork for me (very little of my music is purchased through the iTunes Store) and I haven't run across this yet. And I'm sure I've added new files to my librar in every extension of iTunes 7, but it never hurts to make sure you're running 7.0.2.

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

ITunes has stopped adding mp3 files.

iTunes has stopped adding mp3 files manually via the add file option, this has happened in the last week, it is music I have bought not illegally downloaded. I have the latest software installed, please help, thanks.

Had the exact same problem and turning off match indeed did fix it.
Glad Apple has Match working even better than before...

ITunes will not add my files

I'm having trouble adding files other than music to iTunes. If I add a file using file> add file to library, iTunes will not add the file, no matter what i do.

What kinds of files are you trying to add? iTunes will only add certain kinds of files. For example, I realized after about an hour of trying to drag and drop them into my library, that iTunes hates .wmv files, and I had to convert them.

ITunes 10.6.3 not importing mp3 files but will play the mp3 files

Hi
I recently updated my iTunes to v10.6.3 on my mac. However, I cant seem to add new music to my iTunes library. Dropping and dragging doesnt work even though the '+' curser appears and importing music using command + O doesnt work either. There is no indication of the music being analysed or anything.
However, when I click on an mp3 file it opens and plays in iTunes but will not be added to the library. If I click on the mp3 file again from finder, it will play in iTunes from the last point..
Does anyone have any ideas of wrong? Its frustrating me because I need to sync music to my iPhone and I cant
Thanks

Ye playing the file should automatically add it to iTunes but its not since I updated iTunes.
The music plays and I can see the the time bar in the window on the top of iTunes but the file is not located in the iTunes library or anywhere in iTunes so I cant right click it.
At the moment the mp3 file is on my desktop. Normally dropping and dragging it into iTunes adds it into my 'iTunes' folder in the 'Music' folder.. but this is not happening. I've tried manually adding the file into the 'iTunes' folder using the appropriate folder titles etc.. but iTunes will not detect the new mp3's. Wierd!!
I think I might just have to re-install iTunes

ITunes won't add mp3 files to library

I recently downloaded some mp3 files and for some reason I can't add them to my iTunes Library. I've done this before without any problems. The mp3 files play fine on my iMac, but I can't open them from within iTunes nor add them to the iTunes Library. I've tried to drag the files into the Library or into a blank play list in iTunes and nothing happens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some mp3s are somehow coded with something iTunes does not like.
You can try the MP3Scan&Repair utility (do a web search).
You can use a lossless mp3 editor such as MP3Trimmer, Fission, or AudioSlicer ( this one is free and works on my G4 but maybe not on newer computers). You can open the mp3 and save it again and maybe iTunes will like that copy better.
You can re-code the mp3 back into mp3 using a third party tool or maybe Garageband (I don't have that). This is undesirable because there will be lossi n quality.

I got a new computer and i cant get my music on my phone from iTunes. i got an mp3 file and got it on itunes but when i try to get on my phone nothing happenes. my family have helped me but nothing is working. i don't want to delete anything

Itunes 8 wont import mp3 files

When I sync my ipod, it gives me an error message of about 40 mp3s that wont copy to the library because itunes doesnt support the audio format. The weird part is that these files werent added recently. I've had them on my ipod/library for awhile. The majority of the files were downloaded from Amazon.com, and they all play in WMP, and Quicktime. I've also checked the id tags with mp3tag, and all have the same version ID3v2.3, and all are indeed mp3 files. When I try to import them into my library, either by drag and drop or by adding file to library, Itunes does nothing. The file doesnt show up in the library at all. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I can no longer choose my kbps of the desired format I want when importing/converting from the DESKTOP.
No longer? This was never an option.
Where did you select this previously?
If the file is one iTunes already can use (WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless), it will simply add it to iTunes. It never asked what you wanted to convert it to.
However, it can be done without having to add and and then convert.
Go to iTunes prefs -> General and click th eImport setting button.
Set the format /bitrate you want the imported files to be.
Now hold the Option key and go to menu Advanced -> Convert selection to...
This will call up a windows to select folder/file. Select what you want, then OK.
This will import and convert the files the format you have set in iTunes prefs - Importing.

ITunes doesn't play MP3 file anymore!??

So I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now MP3 files sound all weird. But MP4 files play perfectly fine? Is there a way to fix this or should I call Apple or should I wait for iTunes 10.6?

If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.

My itunes playback and transfered mp3 files are corrupted and sound garbled...***? All software is updated.

Recently my itunes player and sync mp3's play sped up and garbled. All software is updated
and all obvious logical attempts to fix it have failed. My files play fine on Media Player, and
burn fine using Nero. Problem's gotta be in itunes.
Any ideas?

I've uploaded a new version of my DeDuper script which should be able to detect when the same file is on two different paths and act appropriately. The script preserves ratings, play counts and playlist membership and can recycle real duplicates while keeping hold of an original copy each duplicated track. See this thread for background, this post for detailed usage instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
Test with the duplicated tracks of a single album first just to get a feel for it. It can take some time to run as it makes 5 passes over the selection, so you'll need to be patient if you are not able to use it with the progress bar active. If it detects the possibility (as it will in your case) that two seemingly different paths point to the same file it will prompt you to confirm the correct path to the media folder. This should be the C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media one, please correct it if it detected the wrong folder before proceeding.

I have two users on my laptop. when i try to share my itune files from the main account, the second acount itunes will not find the files. the help suggestions must be for an older version of itunes. when i click find files-nothing happens.

I cannot share itune files on the same laptop. I have two users on my laptop using windows 7.file sharing is turned on,when i click on the itune startup screen-find music files, nothing happens. the instructions in the help section must be from an earlier version of itunes because the edit folder is not laid out like it describes.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

ITUNES will NOT add mpeg4 files to library!!!!

So I've tried many video converters on many settings...the files are fine. They play fine in quicktime.
I cannot get the newly made video files into Itunes. .mp4 and .mov files will not add to the library. When i try, absolutely nothing happens
Itunes WILL add .WMA Files to the library and actually play them. These files will not convert to ACC format so i can play them on my ipod however.
all files meet the video file requirements that apple claims will work. (320x240, under 768kbps, etc.)
HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Windows XP

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

ITunes upgrade - now forces mp3 file association to itunes

Older versions of iTunes would allow me to keep .mp3 file association pointing to winamp, but the latest version of itunes "steals" the mp3 file association back everytime it starts up. Winamp has a "reset file association at startup" checkbox in it's preferences, but I can't find anything like that in itunes. Am I missing something, or is there some other way to get iTunes to not steal this file association whenever it starts. Or is there a way to uninstall this latest upgrade?

Find one of your MP3 files in Windows Explorer and right click on it and select Open with>>Choose Program.
On this dialogue, tick "Always use selected brogram to open this kind of file", then select Winamp and click OK.

How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?

1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
4. And I have many files like that
Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!

The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player.

ITunes will not accept XML File

Hello,
I have been trying to upload my normal weekly xml file and iTunes won't accept it. In the past, I copy and paste the previous entry in the xml file, make the upates (name of file, length, date, title, etc.) and then upload the updated file. Been doing that for years. Now, for the last six weeks, I have to recopy the previous week's entry, make the updates and save numerous times. Sometimes iTunes will accept it, sometimes it doesn't. Is there a limit of how many lines you can have in an xml file? When I try to validate it, http://validator.w3.org, i get the following error:
line 8185, column 2: XML parsing error: <unknown>:8185:2: mismatched tag [help]
</channel>
There is a <channel> on line 05, so this error doesn't make sense to me.
Can someone please take a look at the file and help me figure out the problem? I would appreciate it.
Here is the link: http://graceplace.org/media/audio/podcast.xml
Thank you!

The problem is just before your first 'item' tag:
<itunes:category text="Religion & Spirituality">
<itunes:category text="Christianity">
</itunes:category>
<item>
In the second line quoted above, you have not closed the tag, so that everything for the rest of the feed is seen as being within that tag - including the closing 'channel' tag, which is where the error has been flagged,
Those lines should read
<itunes:category text="Religion & Spirituality">
<itunes:category text="Christianity" />
</itunes:category>
