ITunes upgrade - now forces mp3 file association to itunes
Older versions of iTunes would allow me to keep .mp3 file association pointing to winamp, but the latest version of itunes "steals" the mp3 file association back everytime it starts up. Winamp has a "reset file association at startup" checkbox in it's preferences, but I can't find anything like that in itunes. Am I missing something, or is there some other way to get iTunes to not steal this file association whenever it starts. Or is there a way to uninstall this latest upgrade?
Find one of your MP3 files in Windows Explorer and right click on it and select Open with>>Choose Program.
On this dialogue, tick "Always use selected brogram to open this kind of file", then select Winamp and click OK.

ITunes Upgrade nows allows individual file & album selection!
Not sure if this has been posted or is just old news. I thought it be nice to mention how Apple has actually listened to some of their customers. I kinda want to hear from people who decided to upgrade all their songs and those who waited to do so.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?
How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.
AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that. -
I updated iTunes on my Dell Inspiron lap top and it corrupted my iTunes. I uninstalled all of the newly installed files. I also uninstalled iTunes. Now whenever I try to install iTunes, I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
Tried it 2 times and no luck. Any advice for me?
MaureenI get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Ive got youtube videos converted to mp3 files on my itunes, they used to play fine but since the recent update they do not play correctly. how can i fix this?
Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?
1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
4. And I have many files like that
Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player. -
ITunes has stopped adding mp3 files.
iTunes has stopped adding mp3 files manually via the add file option, this has happened in the last week, it is music I have bought not illegally downloaded. I have the latest software installed, please help, thanks.
Had the exact same problem and turning off match indeed did fix it.
Glad Apple has Match working even better than before... -

i tunes 6 used to be great for me but i upgraded to 7 which wiped my i tunes and ipod. im back to ver 6 now but i cant drag files from my c drive to any playlists -
Back then when I had the older update with iTunes i never had this problem with trying to put my mp3 files of music into my iTunes library. Now it doesn't want to be put into the library. Once I try to drag the music file to the iTunes library nothing happens, it just keeps showing a cancellation sign with my mouse. So how can I fix this?
Hi William.
The problem is probably that the index is corrupt and you need to completely re-create it rather than rebuilding individual mailboxes. I have no idea what the situation really is now after having tinkered with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/, though, so the following procedure may or may not work.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder. -
Itunes 8 wont import mp3 files
When I sync my ipod, it gives me an error message of about 40 mp3s that wont copy to the library because itunes doesnt support the audio format. The weird part is that these files werent added recently. I've had them on my ipod/library for awhile. The majority of the files were downloaded from Amazon.com, and they all play in WMP, and Quicktime. I've also checked the id tags with mp3tag, and all have the same version ID3v2.3, and all are indeed mp3 files. When I try to import them into my library, either by drag and drop or by adding file to library, Itunes does nothing. The file doesnt show up in the library at all. Any help with this would be appreciated.
I can no longer choose my kbps of the desired format I want when importing/converting from the DESKTOP.
No longer? This was never an option.
Where did you select this previously?
If the file is one iTunes already can use (WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless), it will simply add it to iTunes. It never asked what you wanted to convert it to.
However, it can be done without having to add and and then convert.
Go to iTunes prefs -> General and click th eImport setting button.
Set the format /bitrate you want the imported files to be.
Now hold the Option key and go to menu Advanced -> Convert selection to...
This will call up a windows to select folder/file. Select what you want, then OK.
This will import and convert the files the format you have set in iTunes prefs - Importing. -
ITunes doesn't play MP3 file anymore!??
So I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now MP3 files sound all weird. But MP4 files play perfectly fine? Is there a way to fix this or should I call Apple or should I wait for iTunes 10.6?
If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.
