Is there a way to convert my existing music ( on my i-pod gen 2 ) from AIFF to the Apple Loss-less file type ?

Hi Folks,
Hope someone can help -
After spendings Hours / Days loading copying masses of music ( mostly CD's) to my recently acquired i-pod touch
I'm now fast running out of space!
Most all of this was loaded using the AIFF file format - which I now realise is almost twice the file size
when compared to the Apple Loss-Less format -
I've tried selecting high/lighting tracks ( on the pod )  then select File ( top right on tab ) & then Right Click >
But the option to convert to Apple-LL is 'Greyed out' ?
How do I convert them ? ( Preferable in groups or at least Album by Album rather than starting all over from scratch! )
Await your thoughts Regards  M.G.
Apoligies if Iv'e missed out any relevant details - As youv'e probably guessed I'm a bit ~ new to this ~

Hi IIIaass,
Yes I've tried diffrent kbps settings but as I don't know how they copare with AplesLL
it's a bit hit & miss??
Basically all my music is for Dance sessions which often get played at a fair
old volume ( to fill the hall ) which is why I've decided to get it all in one format -
Iv'e just purchased an i-Pad ( to replace my i-Pod ) as it has much larger
storage capacity. It's only a Gen1 - but is soley for music
( so not bothered about internet or watching DVD's etc )
Yes Iv'e had a Google - but it doesn't sound promising
( the few that do seem to be compatable still have problems with 'Tags' or
something to do with track lists / data ?? ) 
I'm gonner stick with Apple LL - It's what the i-Pad was made for ( me thinks )
Do you know what quality is used by i-Tunes it-self for it's downloads?
I ask this because if I recall correctly?  Under the heading where you can
sellect kbps or AIFF etc it states " These settings do not apply to downloads"
I think what I'm trying to ascertain is - Would I get far better results by buying CD's
& manualy copying them to my i-tunes device - rather than downloading inferior versions?
My reasoning re- going this route is -  I'll always have hard copies to keep ( literally )
Along with the saving grace ( & heart ache ) if/when a device fails or the system
crashes I'd risk loosing everything !
Anyhows, Thanks for your support
Kind Regards  M.G.

  • Is there a way to convert an existing NTSC project to a PAL project?

    I searched the Encore CS3 manual and all four Encore forums before starting this thread.  Apologies if I missed the answer.
    In Encore CS3, apparently one is only allowed to specify NTSC or PAL when starting a new project.  If I try File->Project Settings on an existing project, I can change the Authoring Mode between DVD and Blu-ray, but the Television Standard edit box is grayed out and cannot be changed.
    I often need to release projects in both NTSC and PAL standards, and it is a royal PITA to have to start a new PAL project, import the exact same assets as for my NTSC project, then rebuild all my menus, buttons, timelines, chapters, etc.
    Can the conversion be done?  Am I missing an obvious method?  If not, why is it that the same assets can only be bound to a given standard when importing?

    I understand your concern. I don't know for sure yet myself as the client had yet to mail the discs to Italy last time I talked to them.
    However, I would check to see if the people on the forum are saying they won't work because they made a mistake in changing the parameters in ifoedit or if everything was correct and it still didn't play. Also, once you make the discs, even if everything is correct, they certainly won't play in American DVD players that aren't multi-region.
    Also, ifoedit is a really simple free program you can download. If you google it you should be able to find it quickly.
    From the quick look at the link I gave you, it looked like a rudimentary explanation of how to do it. I need to find for you the web site I found when I did this a couple months ago. I know I saved the info somewhere on my hard drive. I will try to find it later tonight after my kids go to sleep, ha!
    Yes, the files you need to change are the ones that are created when you export to folder in Encore. The .VOBs and the .IFO extensioned files (that you open and edit in the program). After you change the IFO files, you can take those files including the .VOBs into a dvd burning program like nero or roxio and burn a dvd-video (not data).
    If you have to change the language of the menus and all that, than you'll have to re-author the dvd in encore anyway you may as well do it through encore.

  • Is there a way to convert all your music w/o it taking 10 hours?

    Hi, my brother got an ipod nano for xmas and i have a 60 gig. All my music right now is in apple lossless and takes up a bunch of space. i have about 50 gigs of music but he only has room for 4 gigs. Is there a program that u can just convert it all to acc so that it dosent take forever to do? What i am going to do is put all that music on my external hd then onto his computer but with apple lossless it only fits like 30 cds.

    I feel your pain....sort of.
    I have a "master" library on a dedicated external drive where I put clones of ALL my CDs in AIFF format. I use the drive as the source for a wireless media server.
    I recently wanted to make mp3 copies of everything, 350 CDs, more or less, to back up and use as a source for my iPod and iPod shuffle.
    iTunes will do it, but it does take some time and require additional space on the "mothership" for the mp3 copies. You just create a "smart" playlist with a qualifier like : KIND IS MP3... Almost 300GB of AIFF was shrunk down to 28GB of high quality mp3. I did it over a couple of days, but at one sitting, I guess it would have taken about 6-8 hours. Obviously, the speed of your CPU and the parameters of your hard drive are variables.
    Launch iTunes, go to your master library, select the albums/songs you want to "mp3-ize", then go to the Advanced Menu and select Convert to MP3.. (Before you do this, you must go into iTunes preferences and setup your import options to the quality of mp3 you want...)

  • Is there a way to find out how many steps you walked on a specific day in the Apple Health App.  I don't want to know minute by minute.  But want to know if I can go back a week to a certain day.

    LF way to see how many steps I walked on a certain day last week.  Not minute by minute, just recall the day's steps.  All I get is a graph and then all data when I tap a particular day,  which is far too detailed and useless.

    here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...

  • HT1535 Is there a way to delete all songs, music videos, tones, and TV shows from my iPad?

    I can't figure out how to delete songs and videos and such manually on my computer while the iPad is synced. Some of my songs and videos copied on my iPad twice and one set of the songs and videos doesn't play at all. But, I can only delete the set that can actually play. I want to delete all my songs and videos and re-sync everything.

    Most music can be redownloaded but movies cannot.
    There is no need to re-download anything.
    Close iTunes.
    Delete or move the iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunesLibrary.xml files from the iTunes folder.
    Launch iTunes and create a new library.

    I have a 27" iMac with a broken hard drive. Is there a way to convert the existing hardware into a display monitor without too much technical work?

    You don't state what iMac it is or what you want to use it for an external display with so we cannot answer the question. But without a bootable drive, no you cannot. However you can get the internal HD replaced or you can connect an external HD and boot from it. Without some basics about the computer it's impossible question to answer. However you may find what need in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

    My husband shot 6 hours of video on a Sony DCR-DVD106E Handycam abroad, and had that burned on a dvd.
    Unfortunely he shot this material with the camera in DVD-VR mode,and and now it's impossible to import and edit in IMovie. ☹ I discovered already that the camera should have been in Video-mode.
    We do really need parts of the video for our work...........

    Is there a way to link an existing discussions post to a posts by topic? How is this accomplished?
    I created a discussion post and a regular post with an assignment within a course. I trying to link a discussion post that I created externally within the course to a post with an assignment. Is there a way to do this?

    It took me a while to parse your question, so please forgive me if I'm making a faulty assumption.
    As near as I can understand, you have created an assignment for which participation in a general discussion (i.e., not associated with a given post) is required for completion. To simplify matters for the student, you want to offer a direct link to the required discussion.
    I thought dropping a link to Course Manager's URL to the discussion would do the trick, but that did NOT work. So, we're left with having to request this feature from Apple. I encourage you to make your interest known to Apple by filling out the feedback form:
