ITunes 9 Default Import Settings

Hi. I have a Mac with iTunes 9.0.2. What are the default import settings in kbps? I want the best quality even if it means larger files. I couldn't find a way to change the quality of the imported files, although my other Mac with iTunes 7 has that feature under the Advanced settings.
My Mac has OS 10.4 so I'm unable to upgrade to iTunes 10.1. I tried to find a download for version 10.0 but was unsuccessful.

Try Preferences>General>Import Settings

  • Change Default Import Settings

    This has bugged me for a while now. I have created an Import Preset to import my photos to my "F" drive. Works perfectly but sometimes...the import Preset reverts to the original Lightroom Import setting which imports to my "C".drive. If I right click on my Import Preset, my Import to "F" is checked.
    How can I prevent LR4 from reverting to the default import settings and is there anyway to either remove the old default altogether or make my Import to "F", my default?
    Bob

    I found a previous post that appears to work.  Since the netbook doesn't show an OK in the preference window, I just had to hit enter to accept and change the setting. 
    Thanks to all.

  • I selected "ACC Encoder-iTunes Plus" for import settings to import cd's. I assumed music purchased from the iTunes Store was mp3 format.Which is it?

    I selected "AAC-iTunes Plus" as my import settings when importing CD's to my iTunes library. When I reviewed "get info" on purchased songs from iTunes, it says "Kind: Purchased AAC audio file". All of the purchased songs in my library say this. I assumed all purchased songs were "automatically" imported in mp3 format. Do the import settings I chose also apply to purchased music? Also, what can I do to have my library songs changed to mp3 format?

    All songs sold in the iTunes Store are AAC/256.
    The import setting affects ripping and conversion.  It has nothing to do with purchases from the iTunes Store.
    If you need MP3s, you can convert your AACs by using this procedure:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550  But it would be easier to buy MP3s in the first place, for example from Amazon MP3. 
    MP3s can be used in iTunes or almost any other player, program or device.

  • ITunes preferences general import settings mp3encoder not working

    I have searched looking to import a CD as an mp3 so that I can store it on an external harddrive.  I have set iTunes to import as mp3 encoder, but when I allow iTunes to import CD to library or click no, either way, the file shows up as an AIFF-C kind on Finder.  I can convert to mp3 in iTunes device>copy, but then it won't paste onto external harddrive.  Can someone help me get a store bought CD onto an external harddrive as an mp3?  But the preferences setting doesn't seem to take.  I ensure that I click "ok" twice.  Thank you.

    The import setting have no effect on store downloads, all iTunes store downloads are AAC (MP4). The import settings are used to convert the songs imported from CD or to convert unprotected songs in iTunes, not for choosing a format to download song from the store.
    You can't convert standard iTunes copy protected songs, only the iTunes Plus purchases can be directly converted to another format. Where possible if you need to convert you should go for iTunes Plus tracks. The only thing you can do with standard songs apart from playing them in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone is burn them to Audio CD. You can use that CD just like any regular one. If you need songs that will play on a non Apple player you'd be better looking around for other stores that provide unprotected MP3 downloads.

  • ITunes 8 moved importing/file type from Advanced to General tab

    In iTunes 8, converting from one file format to another is now handled under iTunes Preferences > General > Import Settings button, rather than under the Advanced tab as in previous versions. All the file types are still there.

    Hi there,
    The problem here are NOT the WARNINGs but the ERRORs. So basically focus on the ERRORs...
    For the ERRORs the solution is in Metalink Note:289606.1 - Pre-Check Fails - Oracle Report Objects Show Red Crosses When Merging a Transport Set within the Dependency Manager.
    As for the WARNING, you should also migrate the users and the groups via the OID scripts - ldapsearch & ldapadd.
    I hope it helps...
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • What are the best import settings for iTunes - AAC 160 / AAC 192 / MP3??

    Hi I originally imported all my treasured CDs to iTunes several years ago, and they've served me well (AAC 128 - default setting) but in recent times hard-drive sizes have trebled and my much loved iTunes Library has not been updated.
    I am thinking of re-importing all of my original CDs - as I think now that hard-drive space would allow for a higher quality but at the same time I do not want to fill my hard-drive completely with music - hence my question;
    WHAT ARE THE BEST IMPORT SETTINGS CONSIDERING SIZE AND QUALITY?
    (I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I did a search and nothing came up that answered my Q - also all the answers that came up in Google search where dated 2003/ 2004 - a little out-dated me thinks!!)

    Personally I've started ripping everything Apple Lossless. That way I hope I never have to rip again.
    I used to rip 320 mp3. I couldn't tell the difference between 320 mp3 and lossless, but, one day I might be able to - big maybe. But since disk price is not likely to go up, I figured I'd rip lossless from now on "just in case."
    Probably few, if any, people could tell the difference between 256 AAC and lossless (I've done it at 192, but never at 256, and I have not bothered trying again recently - there might be a song out there where I could hear the difference, hence ripping lossless from now on - my time costs more than disk space . . .)
    256 AAC is a pretty safe bet, unless you need mp3 compatibility, then use 256 (or 320) mp3.

  • Error msg at launch says "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."

    Each time I launch iTunes (latest version) on Windows 7 (w/ latest system updates) I receive the following error msg:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    When I click on "OK" iTunes completes the launch process and the application functions properly.  This error msg appears without fail every time I launch the app.
    I have reinstalled iTunes four times and continue to receive this message.  iTunes is set in the system Control Panel as the default program for all functions that iTunes uses.  I never burn CDs or DVDs and have never attempted to do so on this machine.  I have had iTunes on this computer since I bought it last November and never had a problem with it until 2 months ago when this message began popping up.  I did not notice any action I took that caused this, in terms of creating conflicts.
    I hope someone can assist me in finding a way to stop this annoying error!  Thanks!
    David

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes"  I have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

  • When i click on itunes to open, message says: the registry settings used by the itune drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing. this can result from installing other cd burning software. Reinstall itunes.  I'm inexperienced. Please help

    When I click on itunes, I get a message that says, "the registry settings used by the itune drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing.  this can result from installing other cd burning software.  Reinstall itunes."  I am a really inexperienced computer user. My computer is a windows 7.  Would someone please walk me through this or tell me where to find information on how to do this. Thanking in advance, Laurie

    The article will walk you through reinstalling iTunes and then checking for or creating device filters. Did it help? Did you run into any problems?

  • Registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing.  Please reinstall itunes.

    Yes, it's the "Registry settings used by iTunes ...." issue which has been a problem going back at least to 2009, according to the posts here.  You would think that Apple would make an effort to solve this, but apparently it's not of concern to them.  Style - yes; function - no.  Sigh.
    In any case, I've read many of the ~200 threads and have, without success ....
       * Reloaded iTunes
       * Deleted iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support
       * Verified that iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
       * Installed Gear drivers
    System: Windows 7, 64-bit, 8GB RAM, all programs/updates/drivers current.  Toshiba/Samsung CD player (current drivers). 
    Occasionally in this process iTunes has behaved properly when a CD is loaded, but then it reverts to dysfunction.  Most frustratingly, the error message appeared immediately after that deleted/verified song and dance described above and recommended by Apple. 
    I have not gotten into messing with my registry because, well, if that's the level of user involvement required here then the program is truly broken.  When I owned a 1959 Triumph I often had to tinker with the carbuerator, adjust the timing and use an ether starter spray, but automobiles seem to have progressed since then.  I thought that Apple products "just worked."  No.  I've used Macs in the past and though  I'm not a Windows fanboi, my work requires it and I've found Win 7 remarkably stable over the past 3 years.  I've NEVER had an issue like this with any program (and I've installed/deleted/used many dozens).
    Is this a fixable problem or should I just dump iTunes for something else that actually works?  Opinions and suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.
