ITunes & non-MP3 album-related files

My current music library is sorted into separate folders for each album. In addition to the MP3s, many of these folders also contain other files with additional art, text files, playlists, pdfs, etc.
iTunes leaves these other files behind if I place the album folder in the "Automatically import into iTunes" folder.
If I let iTunes manage my folder structure, how will it handle these additional files? Will iTunes move these additional files with the MP3s as it re-organizes them, or mangle everything?

iTunes organization does not do anything with "other" files that may be in the folder with the songs. If you want to keep them together, do not use the "Keep files organized" feature nor the "Automatically Add" folder. Rather, put the folder where you want it, and then add the files to your iTunes library.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    You are actually asking two different questions - and two different approaches.
    iTunes does have restriction policies concerning its folders -- for example, you cannot save data into certain areas within the iTunes setup, even though you essentially the rights to most of your computer.    You cannot write into protected areas - other areas you cannot even access files or data.
    You can perhaps make a list of the songs you have, depending on how you go about it, and save that list into a file -- and then save that file into a location on your computer in which you have permission to save files.
    You can save a list into Office Word format (.docx) and then save that file into a .pdf format.
    You can then print that .pdf file.
    If you can view the files on the screen -- and if an image will suffice as a "list", then you can use Snip to create an image of the file and then print that as your list.

  • Transferring non mp3 or wma files on nomad jukeb

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to transfer other files other than music files onto the mp3 and juss use it as an external hard dri've? Cuz i think i read somewhere that this doubles as an external. If there is a way can u plz tell me because everytime i try it says rejected. Thx

    haeaznboiyoung: I'm not sure what causes the data file problems with the Xtra/Touch. For starters, if you are using the latest drivers try switching back and install the drivers from the original CD. Also try using PlayCentre instead of Nomad Explorer, if you still have this installed. You can also try using the trial of?Notmad Explorer specifically the Xtreamer function which allows you to access data files even in the trial.

  • Adding MP3 Albums to iTunes

    I have downloaded an MP3 Album consisting of 3 MP3 tracks to my desktop from a site other than the iTunes store. How do I add these 3 tracks to my iTunes library as an album?

    Not sure if this applies to your case, but some sites send multiple tracks as a zip file or an RAR archive. If that is what you have, make sure to unzip/unpack it first. Then proceed as described by Zevoneer.

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

  • HT1391 I have a thousands of duplicated songs from my itunes because my little cousin wanted to convert all the songs in my itunes to mp3 for his mp3 player.  How do I move all of the mp3 files into the trash while leaving the originals from my Itunes?

    My little cousin coverted all my music in Itunes to MP3.  Now I have duplicates of everything.  How do I erase ONLY the duplictaed MP3.  Leaving my original original songs in Itunes available? 
    Thanks!

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

    How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
    My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
    Many thanks in advance...

    iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
    The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
    If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
    In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
    Then select the songs you wish to convert.
    From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
    When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
    That's it.
    BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

  • I need to save all my files in itunes to mp3 or wav but itunes wont let me!

    hiya!
    i want to save all the tunes from my itunes library as wav of mp3 but when i click on it and click "convert selection to mp3" it says " (file name) can not be converted because protected files can not be converted to other formats" please help
    lannie

    Sorry, but tracks purchased from the iTunes Store are copy-protected (except in the case of iTunes Plus tracks) and cannot be converted to another format. All you can do is burn them audio CD or, of course, back them up to a data disk.

  • [SOLVED] unable to play mp3 or flac files in mpd, .dts files play fine

    I had a perfect running mpd setup before I tried to fiddle around with some dependancies to get xbmc-svn to compile without errors. I installed some AUR packages (ffmpeg-svn, x264-git, libva-sds, libvpx, libid3tag).
    After that I started to experience trouble with mpd, it start fine and says it plays audio files just fine but whenever i play a mp3 or flac file the progress bar just looks like it's playing the file but I hear no sound. Whenever I play a .dts file i hear the sound correct.
    I'm very curious to why this happends.
    I rolled back the packages mentioned above but the issue remains unsolved.

    Whenever I run xbmc using the hdmi digital output it just plays mp3 and flac files without problems.
    Anyone any clues on how to solve this issue?

  • Album list for iPhone in iTunes is missing albums from iTunes library

    There are albums which appear in my iTunes library but do not appear in the album list for my iPhone while it is connected to iTunes.  The albums were recently added by being imported from a CD.
    In iTunes, I click on my iPhone to open the menus and options related to syncing the iPhone.  Then, I click the tab for music.  There are four large boxes: Playlists, Artists, Genres, and Albums.  The albums for the CD that I recently imported is not listed in that box.  I cannot check the box to have it added to my iPhone.
    To circumvent this, I went to my iTunes library, selected the albums, and dragged them over to my iPhone.
    While the problem is solved, I don't understand why the album was not listed where it was "supposed" to be.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Sorry to learn your music lost, but let me be suspicious here; iTunes does not delete music by itself.
    Given say that, you have lost music. First thing to verify is does your music is deleted from the iTunes Music Folder or is it just removed from the iTunes library.
    You should do some search on your hardisk to see if you can actually found the music files. Depending of your iTunes setup, these files could be store at different location. Usually, they should be found in /User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist Names. But your could use spotlight to do some research; tell us you could find on your disk any of your lost music!
    Beside, there is also a feature in iTunes 7 that let you backup your music to disc if you have a DVD burner, it will take you a few minutes.

  • ITunes - Create MP3 Version (output destination?)

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone out there knew if it was possible to utilize iTunes to create MP3 versions of m4a files, but have them placed in a specific destination?
    What I am trying to accomplish and the problem I am having is, I have an MP3 player that only plays well with MP3 files when it comes to ID3 tags and album art. So far iTunes seems to be the only player that can convert a file to MP3 format while keeping all the ID3 tag information intact.
    The problem is that I have over 300 songs I need to convert to MP3, which I can easily do in iTunes, except for that when it creates the MP3 version, it is placing it in the individual artists folders. Meaning I would have to locate every file in order to drag them onto my player and then delete them when finished.
    Is there a way to have the newly created MP3 files output to a separate destination? Or maybe another program that can do this..??
    So far, Ive tried (smartcoverter & adobe encoder) will create an MP3 version, however, it removes the ID3 tag information which is even worse than having to locate each file individually. Any ideas or information would be appreciated. Thanks!

    No such option.  iTunes puts the newly created file where iTunes thinks it ought to be:  Music\Artist\Album
    Other conversion programs, such as Switch, do let you specify a destination folder, and it does keep the tag info.
    Meaning I would have to locate every file in order to drag them onto my player and then delete them when finished.
    Not at all!  After the conversion, sort your library by Date Added, and the newly created versions will be in a row at the top.  Highlight them in iTunes and drag them where you want them.  You do not need to look for the individual folders!
    Try the above with one or two songs so you can get comfortable with how it works.
