Is it possible to stop a "Converting WMA songs" session in iTunes?

I mistakenly started a WMA conversion session and now iTunes is creating duplicates of every song in my library. Is there any way to cancel a command in iTunes? Secondly, is there a an easy way to remove duplicates in my iTunes music library?
Thanks so much. This is my first post.

Thanks to you both. I exited iTunes and it stopped. Then I displayed duplicates and removed some. I also ran a duplicate remover and lost a few MP3 files. My songs went from a little over 3K to 2698.

  • How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod?

    How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod? My AIFF files are appartently bigger per song than ACC files. How do I convert an AIFF song or playlist in iTunes to ACC files so they take up less room. Right now I can only fit 50 songs as opposed to 500 songs. The songs are already in iTunes as AIFF files. Most of the songs I inport are original songs from CD's that are already AIFF files. How do I convert them when going into my iPod?

    Thank you so much! I now know how to convert AIFF audio files to ACC files, and I can keep the original AIFF file! One other concern though -- how do I tell which is the bigger AIFF file and which is the new smaller ACC file? iTunes doesn't have an obvious place/window that tells me the audio file size. Is there a way to tell the two apart. It looks like it creates an identical file name, not even a "copy" extension or anything -- so it's impossible to tell them apart. Is there another secret here?

  • Converting wma  for use in itunes

    How can I convert wma file so that I can use them in Itunes. Thanks

    If it is in your library and it is an AAC, then not obvious why it won't play.
    Right-click the library entry again, choose Show in Windows Explorer, find the file icon, right-click the file icon, and choose Open With. Is iTunes one of the choices? If so, choose it and see what happens.
    Also, in your library, can you verify that the duration (time) and file size of the song look right?

  • Iphone audio stops before end of song...itunes does not

    Hello
    I'm having an issue on my iPhone 6 with regards to audio not playing all the way to the end of a song. I'm seeing this with tracks that I've purchased, as well as tracks I've ripped from CD.
    1. A track will play fine, until about 20-30 seconds before the end of the trqck
    2. The audio will stop, but the track will continue to "play" in silence....still displaying the time remaining on the track
    3. I can rewind back beyond the point where the silence started, and the audio is fine until it reaches the spot in the track where the silence started
    4. Both tracks that had this issue (one purchased from iTunes, and one ripped) play fine on iTunes on my Macbook Air
    For the track originally purchased from iTunes, I deleted the song from my iPhone. I re downloaded the track, and I'm still having the same issue - but the track still plays fine in iTunes
    Has anyone else encountered this issue? Had the device been older, I would consider that perhaps there is something wrong with the drive- however, it's brand new, and this would not explain the fact that deleted the track and re downloading it introduces the same issue, as it's unlikely it would end up in the exact same spot on the drive
    Thanks

  • Can I pause convert WMA?

    Im trying to convert a large amount of wma files into itunes. Over 21,000 files about 80 Gigs. Ive had Itunes cranking away on it for almost 48 hours now- it averaging about 158 files an hour. At this rate Id have to leave my computer going doing nothing else for a week!
    Is there a way to pause or stop the convert wma without iTunes loosing its place? Im worried that if I stop it, when I go to restart it will just find all the WMA files and start all over again, making duplicates of what t has done so far. And with so many files it would take me forever to figure out which ones were already converted to remove them from the folder before starting up again. (see the problem). Does iTunes keep the "Convert to WMA.." playlist if I stop it, so I can restart where im at?? Id like to let it finish all the conversion eventually, then I know all the files are done and can just archive the folder of wma's.
    Or- is there a good easy way to stop it and figure out which files are done so I can grab just the ones that still need conversion latter??
    (just to complicate things- I also had a lot of mp3 and acc files- about another 80 gigs - so its not like i can just look at the library to know which came from wma's)
    Any help greatly aprreciated.

    When iTunes converts a WMA, it creates a library entry for the converted file, but has no record of that WMA, and if it meets it again will start the conversion again.
    All the conversion programs I have used do the conversions serially, i.e. one at a time, so it is not clear that another one would be faster.

  • Convert wma into mp3 ?!?

  • Converting wma

    does anyone know how to change iTunes to get it to convert wma files like it used to??? cause the new itunes won't let me....

    iTunes for Mac does not and has not converted wma files.
    Only iTunes for Windows will do this.
    On a Mac you will need to convert them outside of iTunes.
    Google EasyWMA for a converter to do this.

  • Each time i try to import an album, or convert wma files itunes slows down and eventually stops importing. Does anyone know why this is?

    I have been trying to import albums onto my itunes, it uploads the first few songs quickly then gradually gets slower and slower. I have also been trying to convert wma music files that already exist in my music folder and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have googled it and followed advice but nothing seems to work!

    Dear Hemanth,
    To your question:
    "Is it possible to stop a campaign from being cancelled if it has purchase orders attached to it, using standard functionality".
    This might be possible with a BADI implementation. In enhancement spot CRM_MKTPL there exist a BAdI CRM_MTKPL_OL_OBJ where the interface method CHECK_BEFORE_DELETE is offered.

  • Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

    Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?  I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote.  I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad.  I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad.  Thanks!

    Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
    If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
    Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

    Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
    Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.

    What is the url of the file your are downloading?
    What web browser are you using?
    What type of connection do you have to your isp?  phone line, dsl, cable, fios...
    Try iCab.  It lets you restart a download.

  • Is it possible to stop APEX using a cached query?

    I was hoping that the issue where report regions sometimes show the error: "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value" would be fixed in 3.1.1 however it seems not to have been (We have had it several times now). The workaround seems to be to change the query slightly such as selecting NULL as an additional column and then hiding that column.
    This obviously only works AFTER the issue has occured, ie, after we have received a complaint from someone!
    Is it possible to stop APEX using the cached version of some queries altogether? The ones we are calling are quite simple and so will not give that much overhead.
    Thanks.

    I've actually found several threads on this from the past:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
    http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=644172&tstart=120 (This thread states the problem has been fixed however it would appear either it hasn't or there is a similar bug elsewhere.)

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.
