Itunes/moving many MP3 files in folders into CDR to get more than 80 mins

A friend recently sent me one CDR containing 7-8 folders of MP3s consisting of about 10 hours of music. He's using a PC. I want to do the same with my Mac. Any suggestions?
G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Perhaps the whiff of illicit activity has disuaded people from answering this query, but I can assure the powers-that-be that the MP3s in question were composed of personally-recorded material going back some years that was never released (and thankfully never will be). At any rate, the problem is "solved" to the degree that I'll simply use more CDRs instead of constantly checking this message board for replies that do not materialize. If I could delete this post myself I would, but since I can't, I can only ask the man behind the green curtain to pull the plug for me. Thank you.

  • Why has itunes moved my music files out of the Music folder?

    To my horror I just found out that itunes has moved folders (albums) out of the Music folder, Ive always found those folders very well organized (music, movies, podcasts, etc) now Im seeing some albums mixed with those folders (out of the music folder) and some albums IN the music folder as well, even worse I have the same folder inside Music and out!! with a few tracks on each, but in iTunes everything looks normal and it plays the album as usual, Im losing my mind over this I cant find a way to fix it, I even started moving them manually but there are too many, and for the duplicate folders I have to move the tracks that were moved. Any idea on why did this happen? I dont want to move the folders and lose hours only to find out that itunes did it again!! I thank you very very ver much in advance.

    iTunes on a Mac may be more forgiving if you move things around manually, but it isn't really recommended.
    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you had an older library and have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10/11). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other. (Recent installs of iTunes on a Mac now give the library file the .itl extension)
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is grayed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organized outside the designated media folder into it.   N.B. This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards.
    3. Select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional, if applicable) Close iTunes, rename the media folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then, edit the hidden file .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.
    You should backup your library before attempting any major reorganization.
    If iTunes is still creating files or folders in the wrong locations there is a possibility of permissions problems. Offhand I'm not sure of the correct OS X terms but on Windows both the system and user accounts should have full access permissions to all files & folders within the iTunes folder in order for it to work properly.

  • ITunes won't add files or folders

    For the last couple of days I've been having a problem where iTunes won't add files or folders for no discernible reason. Yesterday I was able to add a few videos, then I wasn't. Today after reinstalling iTunes it added my music just fine, but when that was finished and I wanted to add something else, nothing. I don't know why it's doing this. Drag and drop doesn't work, either. When I try to bring a file over, I get a little red circle with the line through it saying it can't do it.
    Help?

    Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
    All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
    Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.

  • I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

    I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

    Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
    The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

    Hello,
    When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
    When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
    However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
    Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
    Thanks,

    You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
    The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
    Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
    You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.

  • OSX Server webdav bug? - files and folders disappears when filenames are fewer than 7 characters

    OSX Server webdav bug? - files and folders disappears when filenames are fewer than 7 characters
    Dear Community,
    i have a BIG problem with Apple webdav.
    All files or folders with fewer than 7 characters in filename disappear.
    The problems is only between Mac Server and Mac Clients
    and exists since OSX Server 1 (Server 10.7, 10.8, 10.9) on ALL Macs i know.
    The problem persist ever and occurs in the following settings:
    Mac Server (1.x, 2.x, 3.x) <> Mac Clients (10.7.x, 10.8.x, 10.9.x, 10.6 not tested)
    The problem does NOT occur in the following settings:
    Mac Server <> Windows Clients
    Mac Server <> Linux Clients
    Linux Server (my Webhoster) <> Mac Clients
    Windows Server (my Webhoster) <> Mac Clients
    So i think it is not a problem with server itselv or a single client only,
    it is probaly a problem with the combination betwen mac servers and mac clients.
    This is NOT a problem with MY MacServers/Clients only and not with only one Server.
    It occurs in many different Places and many different Machines.
    I have contact Apple Support more then tree times (always when i setup a new machine with server.app)
    but she said they heard first time about that and she cannot reproduce that problem.
    please, can somebody try it out?
    sorry for my bad englisch.
    best regards
    rené

    Supplement note:
    The Problem occurs also between OSX Server <> OpenWRT (Linux)

  • RFC to XI File -  can NEVER EVER  get more than one record in Output file.

    Hi guys
    This might be related to my other post on  File conversion but whatever I do I just can't seem to get more than one record in the output file
    the payload from R3==> XI seems fine
    for example
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
    - <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
    - <item>
      <CUSTOMERID>1000001</CUSTOMERID>
      <COMPANY>One-time ship-to</COMPANY>
      <SHORT_NAME>ONE-TIME</SHORT_NAME>
      <STREET />
      <STREET2 />
      <STREET3 />
      <STREET4 />
    ...... more data
    </item>
    then next customer  master data and so on
    - <item>
      <CUSTOMERID>1000005</CUSTOMERID>
      <COMPANY>ddfask</COMPANY>
      <SHORT_NAME>;LK;L</SHORT_NAME>
      <STREET />
      <STREET2 />
      <STREET3 />
      <STREET4/>
    etc etc until
    <HKUNNR>60000</HKUNNR>
      <SALES_REGION />
      </item>
      </IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
      </rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>  
    All I get on the Output target file
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
      <CustomerId>1000001</CustomerId>
      <company>One-time ship-to</company>
      <shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
    .... more data
      </ns1:MT_customer_header>
    the <item> and subsequent records all seem to have vanished.
    I must be doing something PARTICULARLY stupid as nobody else ever seems to have this problem --  I've tried almost every possible combination but still to no avail
    The function module is passing a table to XI in the correct structure and the payload seems to be fine so what on earth is broken here !!!,.
    Cheers
    Jimbo

    Thanks everybody -- it's working now
    RFC call was passing data correctly
    function z_xi_005_rfc.
    ""Local interface:
    *"  TABLES
    *"      IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER STRUCTURE  ZAP_CUSTOMER_INFO_2
    endfunction.
    in debug mode table data was fine -- in this instance 3 records were being passed.
    3 errors  in mapping etc fixed (with help from SDN - thanks)
    1)  missing the ITEM level in the Data type (hence mapping)
    2)  needed 0:unbounded in the occurrence
    3)  also mapping Item====>Item was missing (sub fields were ok)
    Points awarded
    final file output ok output now  ok (with 3 fields only for testing)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
    - <item>
      <Customerid>1000001</Customerid>
      <company>One-time ship-to</company>
      <shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
      </item>
    - <item>
      <Customerid>1000005</Customerid>
      <company>ddfask</company>
      <shortname>;LK;L</shortname>

      <company>One Time Customer Test</company>
      <shortname>SADFIWQEFG</shortname>
      </item>
      </ns1:MT_customer_header>
    Now only the final problem to make file content conversion work.
    Once again thanks --sometimes what seem trivial or simple problems take AGES to fix until someone else gives you a clue --that's why boards like SDN are great value.
    Cheers

  • ITunes moved my Movie Files

    Hi,
    This may be a silly question but I have just realised that iTunes has moved my movie files. I had all my movies and TV shows saved on my hard drive and iTunes has moved these files to Library>Movies. It has kept the same folder structure that I was using but simply moved all files and folders.
    Why did it do this?
    Is there a setting I should have enabled/disabled that would have prevented this from happening?
    regards.

    These specific steps should apply to your setup:
    Use File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in folder "iTunes". This puts the media folder into the current layout.
    Use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files. This copies in the mobile apps and any other files that might not have been consolidated.
    Copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb & sentinel (hidden) and the folder Album Artwork from <Profile>/Music/iTunes to the <root> folder of your external drive Iomega_HDD. Ignore the xml file and other folders for now, they are taken care of elsewhere.
    Option-start-iTunes and open the library file at Iomega_HDD/iTunes Library.itl.
    Check things work.
    Close iTunes, rename the folder Iomega_HDD/iTunes as Iomega_HDD/iTunes Media, start iTunes, check the media folder is now called Iomega_HDD/iTunes Media, edit if not then close and reopen iTunes.
    Close iTunes, create a folder called Iomega_HDD/iTunes, move the iTunes library files, Album Artwork & iTunes Media folders inside Iomega_HDD/iTunes.
    Option-start-iTunes and open the library file at Iomega_HDD/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl, check the media folder is now called Iomega_HDD/iTunes/iTunes Media, edit if not then close and reopen iTunes.
    Check things work again. Enjoy the music!
    If at any stage things aren't working properly rewind the most recent change or ask for further help with details of exactly where you've got to.
    These steps should get everything sorted with the minimum amount of copying.
    Ideally you need a backup of the whole iTunes folder on another drive for security. Having set things up in this fashion it becomes easy to switch to the alternate copy if & when the need arises.
    PS the folder currently at Iomega_HDD/iTunes/Album Artwork should be redundant and can be deleted.

  • Prob with iTunes playing downloaded .mp3 file

    Hi,
    when I download a single 64Kbps MP3 file (song) from archive.org/audio, it will save to the desktop and look something like this: dtb2005-03-04d1t03_64kb.mp3 Then I try "add to library" in iTunes (5) and the song name appears, but it will be only a couple of KB and play for a split-second - that's all ... Any help, anyone ??
    Thanks very much!
    peace.
    p.s. song will play on Safari page after download, but not after saving.

    thanks Mike for the response ... I don't know what you mean by "find the cached file in Safari". I did search for anything of that filename (and Spotlight just found those tiny files) - And I have now updated to iTunes 6.0.1. ... and the exact same thing happens. I just get a 1.2KB tiny file in iTunes that goes "blip" and it's over.
    I've noticed that the complete song in the Safari window has progress bar with volume and play at left, then the progress bar, then at the right there is a "down arrow" pull-down menu that has Quicktime options: "About Quicktime Plug-in", "Save as Source..." , "Save as Quicktime Movie...", "Plug-in Settings..." and "Connection Speed..." .
    I tried the "Save as Source" - nothing happened. Same with "Save as QT movie".
    The "Plug-in Settings..." takes me to some options, many of which are over my head ---- however, there is an option to Register or Buy QT Pro ... could this be what's necessary?
    Under "Connection Speed" are also many options (don't understand most of them) but I did change to the slowest speed (since I have dial-up) ... and maybe I'll try to re-download something and see if there's a difference.
    I appreciate your help - odd thing is, it used to work with single songs and it has recently worked with whole shows (came in Zip file or .flac) and those worked fine ....... but I only had a couple days' opportunity to use a high-speed connection.
    Thanks again !
    peace,
    Rob

  • Itunes cannot open mp3 files

    I downloaded a zip file with mp3s.  I unzipped it and tried to add it to my itunes library.  I tried dragging files into itunes, tried opening file by double-clicking on it, using the file import feature in itunes - nothing works.  Also, I cannot open the mp3 files with windows media player or realplayer.  But the files look no different than other mp3s that I've previously downloaded from the same website.  Any ideas?

    I suddenly have this same problem with MacOS 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.2. Clicking on a tune in a folder gets the prompt "The document xxxx.mp3 could not be opened. iTunes cannot open files in the MP3 audio format."
    Dragging the tune into iTunes will open it, so there's no problem with it being a "trouble file" that needs validating with some external app. I believe this is a new glitch that came with iTunes 10.2.2. It's workable but quite irritating when trying to manage an iTunes library that includes 28,000-plus songs.

  • Moving or Copying Files and Folders on the Desktop.

    Hi All, I have come across this before and cannot recall how I got around it. I have copied some folders from an external FW drive onto the desktop of my iMac. I create a new folder on the desktop to move these folders into. Without holding down the option key or any key, the Finder copies them instead of what it should be doing by moving them. It is a pain!!! What is making the Finder copy rather than just move these folders even though they are on the same volume? The owner of the folders and the logged in user on the iMac is the same. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    Barbara, Sorry but I don't think you understand my issue.
    Let me clarify.....
    I have copied a folder from my External Firewire drive to my desktop.
    I have created a new folder on my desktop.
    When I attempt to move the copied folder which is already on the desktop to the new folder which is also on the desktop, a + sign appears on my cursor. I don't want to copy it to the new folder, I just want to move it into it. This is all happening on the same volume and happens only with the folder. Any files inside this folder can be moved as per normal.
    Hope this is clearer.....
