Is 160 kps the cutoff for joint stereo in iTunes?

I've been importing most of my songs using mp3 format at 256 kps. I have joint stereo checked on. But it only seems to work when I use 160 kps or lower. Is that the cutoff for iTunes? I have other songs that are above 160 kps that have joint stereo. Is it wise to use joint stereo for higher bit rates? I always thought joint stereo means better quality sound than just normal stereo.

Interesting! I checked back some songs I had ripped with iTunes at 256 with the Joint Stereo setting, and indeed they came out as regular Stereo.
Frankly, at rates around 256 the difference between any two schemes is much less relevant than it is at lower rates. But it still seems strange that iTunes does not honor its own import settings. And, good sleuthing on your part!
As a comparison, I checked some recent purchases from amazon.com and some are Stereo while others are Joint Stereo.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • HT1923 I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support.  I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes but now stuck.  Please help.

    I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes because I had a "msvcr80.dll missing from your computer" error.  I have uninstalled itunes and apple software update but the next one in order "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall.  According to the instructions, that one has to be removed before I can do the rest.  Would love any help I can get.

    Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
    When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
    I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
    Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
    Thanks so much for your help,

  • What is the difference between joint stereo and normal stereo?

    When I go to the importing options and click custom, it asks if I want it to import in joint stereo or normal stereo. Can someone tell me what the difference is? I want to do whichever one sounds better.

    Try Google:

    If you can' tell the difference, go with the default.

  • HT204370 What date is the cutoff for downloading the HD version of movies when HD version was not originally available?

    I have about 100 movies purchased that now have HD versions.  The HD version was not available when I purchased the movies.  What is the cutoff date for downloading the HD version before I have to purchase the movie over again to download the HD version.

    You are correct. You should be a student or teacher. And you can't upgrade it.

    Hi All,
    I'd like to revive this thread and ask for further clarification of why SWF reloading isn't supported in AoT builds for iOS for SWF assets that have ABC.  When we package these assets using ADT it strips the bytecode from these files and packages it within the primary application SWF so I don't think that Apple ToU compliance is an issue any longer.  I assume there must be a technical limiation in how the loaded SWF with stripped ABC is linked back up with it's bytecode after loading.
    Is this a limitation of the AIR runtime that can be worked around in the future, or something that stems from a technical limitation of how the cross-compiled code actually executes under iOS?  In otrher words, can it be fixed in a future release of AIR?
    It seems to me that the promise of using AIR is the ability to target web and iOS from the same codebase.  If you have an existing application of some complexity targeting web then it's likely loading assets on demand and reloading them later as needed (Ex. we have over 700 items in game that can be equipped on avatars and each is a separate SWF asset).  Having to extensively modify the app's asset manager for the iOS platform crates the need for divergent codebases at the core level for each platform.  It seems like this is an important flaw to address if Adobe wants to target mobile gaming.

  • Can I change the settings for ALL songs in iTunes with 1 command?

    I'd like to set the volume for all songs to +100. Can I just select all songs and then change it to +100?

    Highlight all the songs in your library (ctrl+a, edit-->select all, etc.)
    Now right click one of the songs, making sure that all remain highlighted, and go to get info. Click Yes to the message that pops up. You should be able to adjust the volume in that window. Click OK when you are done. The volume should now be adjusted for all songs.

  • Where is the "Just for You" section on iTunes?

    Where did it go? That was the best link. I really don't care, what the people at Apple are watching or listening to, I like it when they played matchmaker!!

    The "Just for You" section has always been characterized as experimental. It gets turned off whenever the iTunes Store is especially busy (like when new software or iPods are released). Sometimes it seems to get turned off for no obvious reason. Be patient, it will most likely come back.
    Best of luck.

  • Latecomers – what's the timeline for publishing to Apple iTunes?

    Hi – has anyone recently completed the publishing process, i.e. getting a magazine or book app into the App Store? The deadline for uploading pre-release apps is 6th June, so time is obviously a factor. I'd be very interested in recent experiences and any other relevant advice on making an app commercially available.

    Gry,
    your question would probably be a little more appropriate for the pre-release forum.  The forum is still active until the June 6th deadline and im sure anyone from there would be willing to help you if you had a specific question on the process.

  • The "support" for app store (and itunes) is utter crap?

    When I try to guy anything from the app store, I get a message telling me to complete the purchase through itunes support.  there is no itunes support, and the link to this support forum from mac appstore support is broken.  ***?  I can download the software from pirate bay for free in 5 min, but there's no official way to get app store support from apple?  I submitted an email and got a reply saying I'd get a reply in 24 hours.  I wonder how long amazon would be in business if they had 24 hour delayed email sales support for the things they sell.  What decade is this?
    There is no error, but the way, just a friendly message telling me to use itunes support to complete the purchase, and itunes support tells me I can't get itunes support and suggested I send an email.
    Wow.  This is such a stark difference from the support I used to be able to get when Apple sold software in their stores.
    This is obviously more of a rant than a question, but I am curious if anybody else can actually get sales support for items they are trying to buy from the app store, or if everybody is as ****** as I am.

    Interesting speculation.  Not really the subject matter though, but FWIW, I don't use a bank card, I use paypal, and after this occurred, I went into itunes and made sure i could still buy things, so I bought an audio book.  I then weint into paypal and made sure nothing there was obviously broken, and there wasn't anything I could see that was.
    The problem I have is not that app store doesn't work (although, that's *a* problem), but the real issue is that *app store support* is broken.  Or rather, it does't exist.
    This is the new customer experience for all apple software, and rumor has is, hardware too (one day).  This is so far below average that it really makes me wonder what the helll is going on at apple these days.

  • I fear I changed the feed, for months was in iTunes, now gone completely - Help?

    Our site: http://www.pleased2meetu.com
    Our (newish) feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/PleasedToMeetYouPodcast
    I think in using a service other than Feedburner got me in a pit with iTunes. I used Feedblitz.com - but the artwork never showed, nor any of the descriptors. It kept showing up as "Unknown" for all aspects, but did have the episodes listed.
    So, I added us to Feedburner and deleted the Feedblitz entry. Now iTunes doesn't show it at all. I tried submitting the Feedburner one and it comes back with "already submitted"
    Feedburner shows the XML file has all of the correct iTunes info, or so it seems.
    Sticther now shows it, and the audiance can subscribe via iTunes (I've done it) via the feed URL and hitting "Add to itunes"
    Any ideas?

    Roger - first thank you for your quick response - from my research, you are a super star and should be compensated by Apple, LOL!
    Change the title slightly across the board? That's going to cause some headaches
    I can subscribe through iTunes (as any user can) via the feed page itself, below, on the right hand side at "Add to iTunes"
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/PleasedToMeetYouPodcast
    My current thought is to use that code ("Add to iTunes") and put it on our home page - and eventually get iTunes content fixed.
    Your thoughts?
